I keep seeing how “bad” organized religion is to our society. That church is only for a weak mind and has so many issues with people being “brain washed” and not thinking for themselves. That it’s for people who feel pressured into it for one reason or another. Ok. Interesting.
You know what else is interesting and has issues?
Unorganized irreligious societies who make up rules as they go; with zero foundational footing to their doctrine. Who vote with their feelings with actual pressure to please the current cultural crowd. People who don’t answer to anyone or anything but themselves. Which ironically is a form of a self-worship religion on its own.
Some in that type of whimsical cultish thinking scares me 100x more than a group of people following principled based traditions that have been proven to produce successful spiritual societies, and families, for thousands of years.
Have you ever thought that people who go to church may just WANT to be there, not HAVE to be there? That it’s more like a hospital for those who want to get spiritually better? That being “brain washed” is exactly that, washing our sick brains from a very ill culture that continues to pollute our minds, hearts, and souls? So you’re right, I get “brain washed” every Sunday.
Without God and His ways- and His religion- what’s the point to this entire existence anyway? Is going to church to learn about that really such a bad thing?
With that said… God still loves you, church or not. You can still be a good person, church or not. And, I invite you all to church with me tomorrow. Doors are open. I have an extra seat in my minivan.
