I don't want to do the right thing because I gain points with God, or because not doing so, may lead to hell. Being an atheist allows me to examine my behavior based on just wanting to be a better person. I'm so happy that I ended using my brain and getting out of this whacked out scene as soon as I left for college. They're usually the ones who are the most egregiously conned out of hard earned cash, resources, and time.

All the rest are heterosexuals who need someone else to tell them how to live on a weekly basis.įinally, many go out of sheer loneliness, and I completely understand that motive.

These churches are filled with depressed, repressed, and closeted congregants. Yet, there is no reason to feel guilt, shame or remorse for being gay, or for pursuing a relationship with someone of the same sex. Hopefully, those feelings will lead me to repent for my behavior, ask the person to forgive me, and rectify the wrong whenever possible, while being aware to not repeat the bad behavior. If I fuck over another human being, then it is appropriate for me to feel guilt, shame, and remorse. Not that we as a society shouldn't harbor these feelings when appropriate.

They're mostly a bunch of grifters, followed by a buche of brainwashed, insecure people who do not have the balls to navigate their own lives free of guilt, shame, and remorse. I've been around these types all of my childhood. The only reason that they've stopped the gay conversion shit is so that people who are terrified of being outed will attend and empty out their pockets on a regular basis. That's what these places eventually become. However, certain 'churches' in this sect of Christianity are rolling in the dough. I'm sure plenty of them believe in what they're doing, and believe that they're making a difference in the lives of others. Justin Beiber is just a publicity tool for these grifters. They like to attract 'celebrities', in order to garner a larger following. The denomination gained the largest number of worshippers during that decade, increasing from 56,028 followers and 212 congregations, to 75,302 and 234. The Assemblies of God ranked as the fastest-growing religious body in Minnesota between 20, according to religious census data. River Valley sits at the epicenter of growth in evangelical Protestant groups while the larger Catholic, Lutheran and other mainline Protestant populations slide.

'Especially the first couple of weeks we were here, I wasn't used to it. 'It's very emotional for us,' said Ingram, 23, who grew up attending traditional Lutheran services but now prefers the charismatic style at River Valley. The largest Assemblies of God congregation in Minnesota with close to 5,000 people, River Valley recently opened its sixth Twin Cities area campus, located near the Vikings headquarters in Eden Prairie, where Ingram and her fiancé worship on Sundays. Hands up and eyes closed, Ashley Ingram sways and sings along with the live band playing contemporary Christian music at River Valley Church. I guess it was just another place to pick up and hook up.ītw, for those of you who remember Pastor Davey- Hillsong is part of his group. I never understood why my friend and others kept attending, since they were always smoking weed, drinking, and screwing around with multiple partners. There was a lot of partying going on, and tons of premarital sex, as well as gay and lesbian congregants.Įvery Wednesday night, they had this huge service, and different pastors would get up on stage, railing against homosexuality, drunkenness, drugs, and premarital sex, and people would file out the doors and party hard and fuck for the rest of the weekend, until their Sunday night services at Mosaic, in Hollywood. The 'church' was mostly millenials who were struggling actors or musicians. I cannot quite remember which hotel it was specifically. The one that Justin was attending was the same on my former friend attended, at some hotel in Beverly Hills. They have different services all around the country, in hotel convention/dining halls. I VERY briefly dated a man who went to this church.
