Have you heard of these atheist 'mega
churches?' This is a first for me.
Muse TD originally shared:
Mega churches for Atheists? Wut? I
don't get it.
Atheist ‘Mega-Churches’ Launch in
U.S. — But Not All Non-Believers Are Excited About It

Me;
I'm all for
Atheists getting together - maybe especially on the Sundees - to do
whatever a group of intellectuals might want to do as a group.
My take is
addressing the disparities across the local, national and global
society/ies, especially those brought into being by false-god
religion, aside from or as well as, to play darts, have a kick of the
footy, talk about healthy things, foods, culture, economics, and food
for the intellectual development, such as eclectic philosophy and
exploration of other less accepted, and practices uncorrupted by
western beliefs, such as Meditation, and even Yoga. Meetings of
studying the fine arts and literature too.
But "church"
is convenient, albeit originating as meaning a "house of the
lord" or so.
In christian
fundamentalist USA, etc., it might actually be the best name though,
so-as to not create a pre-emptive put-off, for the sheep who are
being brought to question the "faith" and BULLSHIT, of
religion, while still without the ability, for the stranglehold
religions have on their intellectual and physical freedom, to be at
ease going to one of these Atheist meets?
"Church"
makes me go crazy, for all the baggage that goes with the word.
So perhaps
Atheists need to put out for suggestions?
How 'bout - the
"Wisehouse"? hoho....
Atheism as a
Movement, is obviously more than just shitcanning religion.
It is, I'd
speculate, beneath all the relaxed and "free" and
free-thinking atmospherics, the "assembly" of people
inspired to nurture, open up and explore their intelligence, both for
their own Enlightenment, but also, for the re-stabilization of the
world around them.
Religions smack
of discipline and clamped thinking processes, etc. and there's little
doubt, traditional western, mainly christian religions are
anti-intelligence.
But Atheism does
not or maybe should not mean everything opposite to the constraints
that "religion" demands.
Because, like a
Scientist, disciplined thinking is crucial to development of the
thinking faculties, and of making advances and substantial findings.
But scientific
disciplines of the mind, with "enlightening goals" sought,
is, enormously more satisfying than learning by rote, biblical
sayings, quotes and lessons.
And separate to
all the usual things in "church", y'know, chatting after
the services about you're hedge funds, real estate speculative
shares, cult connivings, plans to build a messiah, covering each
other in false and exaggerated compliments, mainly so they do the
same to your - EGO - church, for theists and for Atheists, is to
build group of collective security.
"Economies
of scale", so that the bigger aspirations agreed to as worth
pursuing, can be saved for and afforded. Collectively.
Like a big
community farm like Waco Texas?
Or the hippies of
Nimbin, NSW, Australia?
Obviously not.
But for a group to grow, it needs, in this modern totally corrupt
jewish-christian-masonic false-economic global market, organization
to afford the essentials, so it can develop whatever it, locally or
globally, sees and decides they have some "mission" to
pursue.
These require
disciplines, and reasons, not faiths, to go back next week, and the
next etc.
