What happens at an atheist church?
 

A friend forwarded this article to me(a christian) he said he saw this and thought of me. Don't know why-- :rolleyes: -- If moody I tell those that ask that I am a member of the church of Scientology(or just tell the truth and say I am Agnostic-Borderline-Atheist)

Oh anyway
What happens at an atheist church? Well I didn't think one existed. But one does; In London.... Not that I am remotely interested in attending.

On a Sunday morning; I think I would rather stay in bed and play on the kindle fire....

God knows what goes on there.:rolleyes:

Yeah I saw this Rob and thought of you - and me - and those others of a similar persuasion - or none.

I think the last thing atheists should be doing is associating themselves with anything remotely resembling a "church" - except possibly to go and look at medievel architecture and art. Strikes me that those who need this sort of get together are still searching for something.

What goes on? - A celebration of life without mention of the BOFT. The fact that it's held in an old (deconsecrated) church is neither here nor there, it's just using an old empty building.

What is BOFT?

When I googled I got this
BOFT - Definition by AcronymFinder
which doesn't seem to mean what you intended it to.:confused:

"*** BOFT Business Opportunities from Turkey
** BOFT Bureau of Fair Trade for Imports and Exports (Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China)
** BOFT Bearing Oil Film Thickness
** BOFT Blown Optical Fiber Technology
* BOFT Board of Foreign Trade"


PS more googling
Urban Dictionary: Boft :eek::eek::eek:

An atheist church?...Isn't that another name for a pub?

Re: What happens at an atheist church?
 

The services must be very short, "God still doesn't exist, see you all same time next week, bye".

Re: What happens at an atheist church?
 

Na Less its a different type of service, its more like two pints of the usual love and Micks paying:D

Re: What happens at an atheist church?
 

My first reaction was to google, Margaret, have to admit I was very puzzled too.

Now I wouldn't mind that sort of church Less, we could do it by email and still have time for the pub - see below.Ha ha Margaret, I see you and John are singing from the same hymn sheet! ;):p

i must be strange (no comment on that on), but i quite like the idea of the communal gathering, bringing the community together on a weekly basis, discussing local issues, all of the things the church does but without the god thing

if there was one in accy i think i would attend, but then again, as i say im strange

Re: What happens at an atheist church?
 

I've been an atheist since my early teens, never had a need to gather together with other atheists to re-assure each other that God doesn't exist.

Re: What happens at an atheist church?
 

i agree, no need to meet to re-afirm your own beliefs, but isnt it human nature to "gather communally", be it in the pub, social clubs etc etc, as i say i like the idea of a "church" community, but have no interest in a supreme being, just find the idea appealing.

Re: What happens at an atheist church?
 

Live life, so long as the god botherers don't insist you follow them, leave them to it.
I mix with a variety of folk some have religion most don't, unlike them I find no need to persuade them to join me.
I often find I lead a more forgiving life than those of any faith.
