The person can be religious or irreligious for this question.
Idiots, tacitly supporting vileness.
I have as much respect for these people as I do for the guy who is a member of the KKK because they have really good picnics.
It may be the only place some people have to find companionship/friends. A lot of really small towns just don't offer much more than a couple of churches. I wouldn't look to a church, but it's not my place to tell others what to do.
Pity they must be really desperate. And very sad if it is the only thing in town.
I am not desperate!! I go to my UU fellowship for the sense of belonging to like minded people. Most are Agnostic/atheist anyway and there is NO dogma to believe.
@starwatcher-al I thought about the UU. They are different in that they celebrate and embrace doubt. There are UU's claiming various religious stances: Christian, Jewish, Wicca, atheist, agnos, and whatever. Going to a preachy place opens one up to all sorts of B.S. and puts one in the awkward position to choose hypocrisy or inundation.
@Beowulfsfriend UU churches/fellowships vary. Some have ministers and their "sermon is rather general not "you gotta do this/believe this" no dogma, basically respect for your fellow man no matter who or what they are.
