Midnight Mass. Can't find one?, have we all gone mad?.

[Burt]

The fad that is religion is on its way out, about time too.

I think the OP is interested purely from a community experience point of view.

Tell us how it goes. Sounds like an interesting event.

 

[Hxc]

catheedral in norwich has one tonight. Was going to go....

 

[yantorsen]

what about the one going on in my parents village? I'll have to tell them it's not on

I never said they don't exist, I just said there not common.

 

[SinaiSound]

I never said they don't exist, I just said there not common.

Just being awkward, horray for the internets and christmas

 

[gareth.e]

People actually still believe in god?

I thought the whole scam was uncovered yeeeears ago?

 

[Margaret]

i'm of the same opinion as the OP, i'm not religious but it would be interesting to go.

How? Listen to a bunch of dribblers rant on about a load of rubbish?

Went to enough religious crap when I was in primary school, it was forced upon us however.

Walking to that **** church every week to sing hymns and listen to some deluded rubbish, oh my it was cringeworthy.

 

[PhillyDee]

I went to a catholic school, took part in all parts, left school and decided that it really wasnt for me. Where is the proof. There isnt even circumstantial evidence tbh.

 

[A.N.Other]

Nearest Cathedral to me (Ripon) still does - not that it's that good. Christmas services have gone downhill since all the readings were 'updated'

 

[Inquisitor]

Weee, here come the anti-religion crew with their valuable, interesting and entirely relevant contributions!

Indeed.

I find atheists and anti-religion types far far far (exponentially so) more annoying than the overly religious types. Damn Dawkinism.

 

[yantorsen]

I don't think this thread should be allowed to derail itself into a religious debate as there are plenty of threads for that already.

 

[Inquisitor]

I don't think this thread should be allowed to derail itself into a religious debate as there are plenty of threads for that already.

Agreed. It does get old.

 

[Le_Petit_Lapin]

Why ruin christmas with religion?

 

[Killa_ken]

I prefer midnight mass SNACK ATTACK. MCDONALDS FO SHO.

 

[taz488]

If you go to midnight mass your crazy.

Religion is not real, dont waste any more of your time!

this isnt trolling, this is the truth! go out and party or something

 

[Solari]

I remember going when I was younger. The experience is quite good to be honest, it brings a brief sense of community and you don't have to take all the stuff said to heart if you're not religious.

I'm not religious at all but still like spending time in cathedrals, churches and the like when I'm on my travels. It's amazing what beautiful architecture and other stuff is created because of people's beliefs and love/fear of their deity.

 

[Sweetloaf]

Agreed. It does get old.

We'll shut up as soon as Jehovah's witnesses stop coming to the door or as soon as we stop getting leaflets handed to us in the street about finding god.

I understand the OPs reasons for wanting to go but I think he'll be disappointed.

So, did you manage to find one?

Church experiences are very peculiar for me, I've attended various ceremonies out of courtesy in the past but they always leave me a little frustrated. I just see several intelligent people in a room together being duped. It's very strange.

 

[Tefal]

So. I'm not remotely religious, but I fancy the experience..

go to the 6pm one then it's exactly the same.
