How you gonna tell me what I am/was?
IN your faith thats what you believe, but speak for yourself. What are some examples of things that make so much sense to you and that'll make me ok with not seeing a creator?

I didn't place the "sight" argument before you. I don't/can't see x-rays but I can demonstrate their effects and existance.
Faith is belief in the lack of evidence.
I find it funny that you attribute fewer things to "faith" when you know more about how other things work.
Thats too bad, because your morality is clearly superior if you're too scared to follow the book inertly.
1. You're not educated. Its a crisis of confidence. I call it a misfortune of magnitude. You're gullible and you won't convince me otherwise.
2. If believing things were by chance, how would you know all of the other possibilities to be able to make that assertion?
Our Story
Sanderson and Pippa, standing near some smoke.
The Sunday Assembly started on a car journey to Bath when two comedians, Sanderson Jones and Pippa Evans (pictured), realised that they wanted to do something that had all the best bits of church, but without the religion, and awesome pop songs.
The first version of this was in January 6th 2013, and though they weren’t expecting many people, the entire place was full. At the next Assembly there were 300. Then they had to go to two services a day. And then it went viral.
Now there are 28 Assemblies across the world (check here to find one near you), and it looks like there’ll be 100 by the end of 2014. It is the most exciting thing in the world.
People across the world were drawn to our simple values, clear message and excellent mission.
- We are a godless congregation that celebrates of life.
- We have an awesome motto: Live Better, Help Often and Wonder More.
- A super mission: to try to help everyone find and fulfil their full potential.
- An awesome vision: a godless congregation in every town city, or village that wants one.

Apparently to the founders there are quite a few things to worship.

if more people felt like this i would have much more respect for religion, all of them
you can see how an outsider would have no use for christianity or islam, when they both conflict with each other and cannot both be right at the same time
Judaism and Islam don't contradict each other, with Christianity the trinity messes it up (no offence to Christians on here). Point is there is only one creator and all of these three religions when taken at their core all say the same thing. Heck all religions are their core (even Hinduism) teach this; there is only one creator, worship your creator through your actions and be a good person. There have been a lot of prophets and reminders, if you look for it you will find it.
In a godless congregation, what are they worshipping? Coming together? I don't even understand the argument you're forming, if there even is one.

which brings me back to my original point that if they a say the same thing/theres only one indiscriminate god at the end of the day, then the importance people place on religion on earth doesnt matter
pray to allah 5 times a day?
uselessaccept jesus as salvation?
no need, it doesnt matter
i dont have a religious leader
its all good breh i'll see you in the muslims' hell, according to those 2 billion people we're both fukked
Save me a spot. And I'm sure they'll be plenty of THOTs since all the virgins are up in heaven with suicide bombers.

@ lying to myself. That's cute but aren't you exuding your arrogance with this statement ?
No because I genuinely believe that there is no way that you all the way down to your bones believe for sure that there is no creator
Considering there are tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands currently attending I'm guessing they have a different viewpoint than you. If you want to know specifically what they are worshipping give them a call...
If you are not worshipping God you are worshipping something....
There's that arrogance again
. Most atheists couldn't believe in a god if we tried (& a lot of us have). & can you please answer the question I asked you: What are some examples of things that make so much sense to you and that'll make me ok with not seeing a creator?That leap you just made... If you're not worshipping God you must be worshipping something because those are the only two options... even though they aren't using the word 'worship' themselves is amazing to me. You're sitting here arguing semantics. Supporters used the word church because that's the simplest thing they could correlate this gathering to. You have no idea what viewpoint they have, otherwise you would have posted a quote of what they're worshipping. So instead of admitting you don't know shyt, you put the onus on THEM to prove they don't worship anything.
This is why I don't argue with theists.

If someone followed you around for 1 day what would they see you devote the most time to? Getting money? booty? knowledge? clothes? certs? baller status? disproving God? feeding the homeless? big brother and big sister? Y.M.C.A.?
Its not a big leap... its putting a label on what you already do...
Dude said he wanted the best of church with out the worship of God. Of all things to make reference to. C'mon now.
Let's see.
1.) They want to act like a church (but not worship God).
2.) They have a main speaker bring a message (like a Pastor).
3.) They have songs, music (some of them even have choirs).
4.) They take up a collection (or donation if you will).
5.) They do it on Sunday.
6.) They spread the message to other people.
What happens at a Sunday Assembly?
A Sunday Assembly service consists of songs (pop songs mainly) sung by the congregation, a reading (usually a poet), an interesting talk (that fits into live better, help often or wonder more), a moment of reflection and an address, which sums up the day and hopefully gives a take home message. Afterwards we have tea and cake (well, in Britain anyway!) to encourage people to stay and mingle with one another.
How is this any different than church with worship of God????
How do you feel about agnosticism? I do feel that atheism can be too absolute, but so is theism.
