Following Christ
I was thinking the 'Bible Belt' is less applicable to metro Atlanta, perhaps inside the perimeter, but that it's still pretty strong in the rest of the state.Booko said:It's a little milder in Georgia, I think, but the description isn't too far off. Maybe we have a higher percentage of people who are "fallen away." It seems to be fairly acceptable, even in less urban areas, to be "unchurched."...
Sad, but true...about the commute. About the only time I spend 20 hours a week in church is Holy Week, Palm Sunday to Easter, and the weeks leading up to Christmas.Booko said:...I don't think there are many people in Atlanta who spend 20 hours in church -- they spend 20 hours on the road commuting, maybe...
I know that one, and I still forget it's a church even though it's been years since they moved out of downtown.Booko said:...There's a megachurch within walking distance of my house. I mistook it for an office building when we first moved here. In some parts of town, there are yellow street signs that say "Church." I wondered about those when I first moved here. I mean, should I stop the car and pray or something?...
As for the signs...I always thought that was to warn other drivers of the greater probability of encountering blue hair 'Sunday drivers'.:help:
After some thought, I concur 100%! My wife and I certainly attend church, meditate on our own, and meet in small groups with like-minded and sometimes not-so-like minded people for discussions about faith.:162:BruceDLimber said:...So I would humbly suggest that the poll is unnecessarily restrictive in the choices it offers, and would probably work better with a "check all that apply" format!...
