Yes, because associating with non-believers might cause your loving savior to damn you to hell

Can't stand know-it-alls, be it atheist or Christian, which is why I'm agnostic.

Not sure why this is needed when you can be atheist/agnostic and go here:

Maybe, just maybe, we don't want to assemble in a church that, for all its inclusiveness, is still based on judeo-christian mumbo-jumbo: "Jewish and Christian teachings which call us to respond to God's love by loving our neighbors as ourselves"

gee, there's that god thing again.

Just for clarification, if asked "do you believe in god?" do you respond "yes?" If not, you are an atheist. "I don't know" as an answer to that question is just a weak way of saying "no." I don't know if there is or isn't a god or gods [[although if there is one, I see no reason for there not to be others - is there one of anything in the universe?)

You prefer know-nothings, it seems.

As an Atheist, I have NO need to get together On Sunday. Why would that day be the one to congregate?

Q: Did you hear the one about the dyslexic agnostic insomniac?

A: He stayed up all night wondering if there was a dog?

Oh boy this is going to be a wild thread...

**Chinman** · February-14-14, 12:18 AM

This thread kind of makes me sad. Tolerance should a motto.

I believe Jesus Christ died on the Cross to save me from going to Hell

I believe if the SMART August 2014 Property Tax Renewal fails in all three counties of Oakland, Wayne and Macomb Counties that it will improve mass transit for everyone.

I believe in One God and that we were all created equally and we should all have rights.

Anyone want to debate me?

Anyone want to challenge me?

"Jewish and Christian" teachings are ONE of SIX main sources in the UU Church. It's not a Judeo-Christian church

Tolerance, unfortunately, is not much of a concept among those who have all the answers.

Some UUs believe in god, some don't. You are welcome either way.

I believe for every drop of rain that falls; a flower grows.

A church without God is NOT a church! I'm not interested of join that club. Sunday Assembly Detroit is not a church, it's a cult-like club compared to Jim Jones' People Temple, Doe and Ti's Heaven's Gate and David Koresh's Davidians and Prophet Jones' Dominionites.

I believe the children are our future.

**Zacha341** · February-14-14, 08:33 AM

That's right. They teach more from the humanist point of view.

I'll be making my responses few. This can turn very personal and attacking fast.
