Benefits of Religion

Hi Everyone. I am not out here to prove Christianity. Lord knows I really can't do that and I'd be a fool to try.

I just know it does me and my own a world of good.

I come from a little town outside Little Rock, Arkansas.

The Church is indispensible to community life here. Every sunday we go to hear the pastor speak and preach the word of God.

Whether he is thundering about Genesis, Ecclesiastes, the Gospel of John or other books of the bible, it does everyone such good to listen to him and hear those words.

Also, at our parish, Rivercreek Baptist, we have a sense of values, community, and cohesivness. In our community we are taught the importance of courtesy, chastity, temperence and decency.

Im not out to accuse you atheist of being bad people, but I wonder what other venue can provide those family friendly, old time values that I speak of.

I mean there is such community life and culture that comes from belonging to a church. What does atheism have to offer in those terms?
