Your church wants you find out that god doesn't exist, thus killing the need to give money to it?
That seems pretty silly...
Your type plain pisses me off, Blaze. Your beliefs are as blind as Christians who believe in God for no reason.
You're assuming that the church convinces us to give it money? There are absolutely
NO statements in my church's doctrine that say you have to give any sort of money to the church. Sure, it's implied that you should, since you're obviously there for reasons of faith. A church isn't funded by the government or any sort of thing, so the only way for it to exist is by the support of its members. Its a lot like organizations like Wikipedia; if the members don't support it, it's not going to be around for long.
Secondly, there are logical proofs that God
DOES exist, which is what iago was saying. I think you need to re-read his post:
Logic is important! I'll believe something based on evidence or logical proof, not on blind faith or somebody else's words. Religion should NOT encourage blind faith, they should encourage free thought and logical proofs for the existance of God (which exist, and are debated)
