GF wants me to go to church with her......

In my opinion it's quite simple; if you're not happy going, then your girlfriend should respect this. Thankfully my wife and I share similar views on religion so it's not been an issue.
 
Always hate going to Church.
I really hate the
Standup
sit down
kneel
standup
sitdown.

If I want to bloody sit down I will do thanks!!

For example if you let someone in when driving, or hold the door open, sure they're just manners, but not necessary, however, that person will undoubtedly then go on to do a nice thing to someone else.

I'm not here to disagree or argue with you at all, but I just have to point out that this isn't the case *_*
 
Start your own religion...

Invite her to a nightly service, where you give praise to 'Steam Store' and share proverbs of the many experiances enjoyed in 'The Library', ask her to join you with songs of praises among members of the 'Community' and seek guidance from 'Friends' to become better followers of STEAM.

The Religion of STEAM.

I think it is and isn't. I imagine a lot of people do it subconciously, thinking about it actually I was let out by someone in Tesco car park when I was out at lunch, I then let someone in a few seconds later without thinking about it.

I can't believe they welcome (ask/tell/demand) you to donate 10% of your wages... Do all churches do this?

Think about it, God does not need YOUR money, why would God need money?, the particular place where everyone meets for worship might have fallen into disrepair and so perhaps donations would help with fixing the place.


2 Cor. 9:7 says ... Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
 
There is only going to be one winner here squire and it's not going to be you. So smash her pasty one last time and move on...

Loving the sweeping generalisations. I don't understand the venom some of you have to people's beliefs. It's no different to having faith in humanity, or in the doctors treating you or anything else.

You have neatly illustrated the best reason for the venom - anger at a deception that is dangerous to humanity.


Modern medicine is based on science, so it's based on proven knowledge and results. Doctors spend a minimum of 7 years training and are required to prove their competence, so being a qualified doctor is good evidence of competence. Faith is not required.

As a result of those things, medicine has improved enormously over the last couple of centuries and has been a vast benefit to humanity.

People like you threaten that with your false claims about religion being fundamentally like modern medicine, or science in general. You've taken it a step further and attached religion to "everything else". You're taking the reputation for reliability that science continuously earns and you're attaching religion to it like a parasite, and like most parasites it harms the host and may kill the host.

Religion is at heart simply organised obedience to itself. It is based on faith, i.e. belief without evidence. It opposes the entire concept of proven knowledge and results. It opposes any questioning of itself, sometimes to the point of murdering anyone who does so.

Leeching religion onto medicine, science in general (or "everything else") is a real and serious threat to humanity. That's most obvious when it comes to medicine because it's the most obvious threat to life and health, but it's true for almost everything. For example, religion won't find a way to safely generate electricity in a sustainable way.
