Post the church you attend
Local Catholic cathedral
I'd rather not post it though, some autist will probably find a way of tracking me down
I used to attend this one

If it's a cathedral it's probably in a populated area, you're being paranoid

Its really beautiful.

I'm an atheist, so I don't go to church. Why would anyone here unironically believe there is a god?
>>56608466

to follow a time-tested code of morals & ethics to lead a productive, respectful and kind life
>>56608544
Would worship in, very nice
How is the music?
>>56608599
>How is the music?
pretty good, my dad was in the same choir as this church about 50 years ago
>>56608544
You need religion and church to give you morals? If you can't keep yourself moral and honest without religion then you're lower than shit
>>56608682
>atheist
>morality
Not him but don't fall for this meme anon
There, but I only attend organ concerts, I'm not a believer
There's no god. stop going to church, it's a massive waste of time
is this thread shitposting post-ironic or new sincere?
>>56608980
>atheist telling anyone that anything is a waste of time
You're being pretty spooky right now m8, how can anything be a waste of time if there is no God?
>>56609082
Because you're worshiping something that isn't there. Stay delusional you religious idiot
>>56609118
How is that a waste of time?
The Church of Iron
>>56609158
Fuck off, moron
I was also a choir boy back in my day
>>56609188
I'm just saying famalam, if you're an atheist and honest about it you're not really in a position to call anything a waste of time.
I wasn't raised religious but now that I'm older atheists make me cringe so hard
>>56609351
this is normal. atheists are always raised religiously because atheism is just a form of rebellion/being edgy
>>56608682
>not realizing that western civilization was based on the morals and ethics of the christian church
"wew"
America's not an exception either m8
Any atheists here love going to church?
I love the architecture and the music makes the hair on your neck standup.
>>56609757
I do, sometimes I just go to the cathedral and sit and enjoy the silence and atmosphere, it's a whole different world even when it's in the middle of a city
>>56609342
I think he killed himself
My school is next to a church if that counts
>he goes to church
What a waste of time
>>56609757
most of the churches here are small and the songs are basically sang by the priest or some shitty singer with a guitar
>>56610563
>some shitty singer with a guitar
This is a problem tbch famalam. I will never understand why any church would choose to do forgettable hippie folk hymns when you have the option of beautiful 1000+ year old chants. Making Latin optional was a mistake.

>>56610563
Does the congregation at least sing along? That's kind of the point of it all.
>>56610669
Nah. It has no meaning if you don't know what you're singing, or you don't know what it is the monks are singing.

It worked perfectly fine for more than one and a half thousand years. It isn't like people have no idea of what they were saying, every Catholic could say that Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be, etc. in Latin, plus it introduced some Latin into the lives of ordinary people who otherwise would not have heard any.
Before the 1960s you could go anywhere in the world and mass would be the same. Today masses in Latin are uncommon, if I go to a mass in another country I will not know the responses or anything. It's just a break with tradition that was completely unnecessary.
>>56610455
I'm sure you spend your Sunday mornings advancing the cause of humanity by furthering human knowledge.
This is the only church I've ever attended, which is weird because I was born in Australia's "City of Churches".
>>56608859
This one is really beautiful
>>56611285
Salvation Army is the best proddy church IMO
the CEO of the charity known as "the Salvation Army" makes 13k/yr, talk about selfless
I've only been in a church once in my whole life
the Church of Our Holy Lady of Thunderthighs

This is the Croatian Catholic Church in western Melbourne.
All mass is held in the Croatian language, and our priests don't actually belong to the Australian branch of the Catholic Church, rather, they take orders from Croatia.
About the Church, it was mostly funded over a long time by the Croatian community here. However, we didn't get much say over the design. It was built around 2000, and I've always thought it was ugly. The designers tried to go with a "modern" design. Nearly everyone in the community agrees that it should've been built in a more classical way. However, the priest was in contact with the designers for the most part, not the community.
>anglo "churches"
This one, built in the early years of XX century. Though in recent years I attended other churches just to see how their masses look like.
Although building has been stylized to go for the romanesque look, it also utilizes early modernism in respect to shape.
>>56618821
Of those I visited, my favourite was this dominican church. Not many temples have this kind of eerie atmosphere, reaching its peak during sunset where interior is bathed with red, almost horizontal beams of light.
>>56618287
>However, the priest was in contact with the designers for the most part, not the community.
We often have the same problem, but to a starkly different effect, leading to such disasters as pic related. Although it is just as bad as the eye-searing mess that retarded Arabs built around Kaaba in recent years, this sanctuary temple is the pride and joy of not only architect responsible for this and priests who commissioned it, but also the token vatniks of Polish Catholic Church.
>>56608980
taking your shitposting back to r/atheism
pic related is my church
So christcucks what do you learn from the church ?

Don't you get stoned for that?
>>56619488
Because I don't really consider myself a religious man anymore and the way my life is right now im often forced to work on sundays so theres rarely time for other stuff
>>56619670
No . but according to your religions Im gonna rot in fire created by the same guy who created me what a fucking asshole
>>56619620
>Weaving God into tangible forms
Infidel.
I used to attend this church with parent when I was a child, now I don't believe in any god so I don't attend any church.
>>56619771
that pic is making fun of the muslim universe that isnt that different from the christian one
>>56619751
No. Islam may be violent like that, but Catholicism says everyone has a chance at salvation. Whether you're atheist, Muslim, Buddhist or Christian.
Good luck. :D
>>56619751
>Im gonna rot in fire created by the same guy who created me what a fucking asshole
Our regional Catholic Church teaches us that Devil seeks to see the ruin of humanity and revels in the misery of it. Hell is the ultimate stage of such ruin.
>>56619921
At the same time we are taught everyone can be saved.
>>56619921
same for islam it doesnt make any the devil aka shaytan know that this so poweful Allah exists but still challenges him and ruins allah's creatures and allah instead of destroying him nah he lets ruin humanity and uses him as a test for humans because hurrr durr i am allah and i am a dick
>>56619881
>that pic is making fun of the muslim universe that isnt that different from the christian one
This is exactly why Islam prohibits such depictions. Not only one ends up worshipping imagery instead of God, one also simplifies everything into absurdly childish caricature that is on the same level as a fairy tale.
>>56620059
Human has been given freedom - and divine Providence doesn't call for God to operate every human in the most perfect and divine of paths, but rather to ease the wounds resulting from the faults that free human walks into.
Having all of creation permanently frozen into a single divine step wouldn't differ much from Hell.

That is one ugly ass mosque tho
