Cake, gifts…wow, if I wasn’t such an atheists, those things might cave me, except for the fact I can make/buy cakes and I love gifts AND Christmas, call it what you want, to me, it’s sitting under the tree staring at the lights listening to christmas carols.
We have a decent skeptic association here in town, I’ve never been motivated enough to actually attend. Like others have said, I don’t believe, nor do I want to sit around and talk about not believing.
No, but I don’t really join any clubs.
I wouldn’t, because I’m anti-social.
I definitely wouldn’t. I’d sooner join a club that discusses the different ways to assemble a cardboard box. At least then I’d get something somewhat useful and not be wasting my time.
Not me…I have other things to do.
I never even got the memo that we were at war with Christmas! Sorry it took me so long to enlist, when do we invade the North Pole?
Sounds like a drag. The only thing I really miss about church is the hymns, and I can’t picture a bunch of athiests getting together and singing “What A Friend We Have in Jesus.” (This is partly why I could never be a Unitarian–they’ve got lousy music.)
No, because I’d rather go birdwatching or be in a book group. That’s probably because although I enjoy a certain amount of discussion of religion and ethics, I’m not interested in engaging in an ongoing activity associated with it. Somehow ‘agnostic church’ just seems like going to church.
Or DEATH. But mostly cake.
Nope. I’m not a group person. I realized that right about the same time I stopped trying to bullshit myself about believing in God. I don’t need the affirmation, that level of social contact, or the subtle social strictures inherent in any group bigger than a few people. One of the things I realized the last time I went to a church group (I wasn’t always a godless heathen) was that they all obviously needed something that I didn’t. I kind of pitied them for that. Stands to reason that something I pity other people for needing is not something that I want to participate in myself.
