Going to Church stoned (athiests only)
    #5346108 - 02/27/06 04:31 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

first lemme just say i am 100% athiest. so yesterday i got pretty ripped and i had nothing to do, so i went to church. i got there a few minutes early, sat down in the far back row and the show began. first someone walks in with a cross, then with some alter boys and i dunno who else was there and then a priest came in. I'm guessing he was the priest cause he talked the majority of the hour and he was dressed rather flashy? I asked the woman next to me what type of church this was and she seemed kinda offended that i even asked. so i then asked a college student next to me and he said "its catholic man" the whole time i paid attention, listened to every word, but i did not participate in any of the praying. the weirdest part about church is that people really believe in this guy that walked around 2000 years ago saying he was god. during a prayer the lady next to me had her eyes closed and recited a whole prayer. like i dunno she really digs it. then we got up and received what tasted like, mushrooms? it tasted sooo much like them. it was my munchies! but just a lil saucer of it
i wanted to take more but seemed kinda tough. after that i sat down and looked at the cross wondering more about the existence of god. maybe there is i dont know, i really dont think there is, maybe im agnostic i aunnno. church is weird

Sunds like your heading down the agnostic path to me, I mean you're description is practically text-book: One neither confirms nor denies the existence of God (i.e. isn't sure).

Ok since I was born and raised in a catholic house I can clear some stuff up for you.

In Catholic churches there are usually 2 preist. One which is usually alot older and another that is pretty much in "training"

Yes there are some prayers that most catholics know by heart. They are recited almost every service.

What you tasted was communion bread. It is what Jesus said would be his body, and I didn't see anything about wine but usually you take a sip of wine which is "Jesuss blood"

Also Im agnostic but if you want to start going to church I recomend staying away from Catholic.

Now here is a question hopefully someone can clear up for me, does Agnostic mean that you are unsure in the existence of a Catholic god, or just in any type of creator?

"Agnostic" is the contraction of two Greek words. If roughly translates "without knowledge". The agnostic does not know whether or not God exists.

Of course, one could be agnostic about any number of things.

I think that everyone is essentially agnostic at some level. As strongly as some people feel, I do not think that anyone is capable of knowing if there really is, but then at that I am agnostic about that fact too. Im confused :confused:

#2 sounds right. #1 is deism. If you happen to be deistic, then I would highly recommend checking out the writings of Huxley, Eckhart, Watts, Lao-Tzu, Chuang-Tzu...

yeah i didnt drink the wine cause i didnt wanna fuck up and drink the whole glass + i noticed people were drinking out of that cup then they cleaned it with a dirty cloth... eww

but no i dont think im gonna go to church again, it seems like they try to brainwash them. there was one part where a guy (not a priest) was speaking and after everything he said the catholics responded with "the lord is divine and powerful" something weird like that. kinda creeped me out

Oh man all his writings are top-notch, but I would say "The Perennial Philosophy" is the most relevant, followed by "The Doors of Perception and Heaven and Hell".

The Perennial Philosophy is an amazing work, and a great introduction to "mysticism" (take that word with a grain of salt) from the east and the west.
