VirginiaTam BS: Church for the Godless (70* d) RE: BS: Church for the Godless 12 Jan 14


I am a recovering baptist. Thanks to a broader education and being blessed with a somewhat open mind I am now an atheist, who does not agree with indoctrination of any kind, including militant atheism. People need to follow their own paths.

I understand how language morphs. But I don't thing the term "church" is far removed from its original meaning the Greek, kuriakos meaning, of the lord or lord's house. How and when the word lord came to be equivalent with concept of god is obvious.

So I agree the term godless church is an oxymoron. And unfortunately the term church will continue to retain its historical baggage.

I am still mulling this article over, so no comments from me upon it. Apparently a christian author is quite vocally anti-church.
