    Looking nice and spending time reflecting on your morals and interacting with your community - ooooh nooooo!

    I’m not religious, but seriously, it you remove all the “hate gay people” rhetoric, going to church is a positive thing for both the individual and the community. Hating on it just makes you look like a neckbeard.

      Going to church is a way to make people conform. Maybe, once upon a time, we needed belief in supernatural beings to cope with the world. I choose to believe in the world the Enlightenment started. I wasn’t raised with any religion and I still learned how to be a good person and good member of society.

      Sorry. It’s great that you find peace and love in your faith and I have love for everyone who does.

      My comment was in response to the terrible atheist guy in the image wanting to stay home on Sunday and the church promoting Sunday as a day of rest in reflection of God resting on the seventh day of creation. Getting you and your family dressed up, acting normal (at least for me) and then making a meal is not what I would describe as a restful day.
