Question

Help answer this question below.

I'm an atheist, and my family is trying to bribe me to go to church. Should I go? What is your opinion if I do? If I don't? Has this ever happened to you? Do you think it is hypocritical for an atheist to participate in church to appease someone else?

    • live.laugh.love has a point, though unfortunately not in the same sense that s/he is probably thinking of.
      .
      Look for a book called "Even The Angels Laugh Sometimes." Its a collection of stories about hilarious things that happen in Christian Churches of all denominations.
      .
      From the organist who tries desperately to make two old ladies stop talking during the processional, only to cut off the music entirely when its clear they're resorting to shouting...
      .
      ...to the minister who decides to demonstrate "the fires of hell" indoors using a metal tub filled an inch deep with gasoline...
      .
      ...to the choir singer who sneaks out of the choir to retrieve a bag of chips from his car, then crawls back into the church through the wrong door...
      .
      ...the Christian Mass is humor waiting to happen.
      .
      Which is only reasonable to assume, since they are trying desperately to maintain strict order. What can go wrong, will, and hilarity will ensue...
