BTW, I don’t attend church.

Does that make me Godless?

I think that there are millions who have left Big Religion, but not God.

I think you are correct. I have spoken to old friends who still pray and many also have a study bible. They have various
issues with a number of the main churches now.

You are not ‘Godless’. I do not attend church either. I grew up going to Sunday school & church every Sunday. I warmed a pew like many others do; however, I did not have a personal relationship with God. Through a series of events in my life, I came to have that personal relationship. As for church, I don’t get much out of it - the preachers rarely preach what they should & tend to ‘soften’ the Word of God’ so they don’t offend anyone. My brother & SIL left the church we attended all our lives 2-3 years ago as well. We also had issues with her father & mine, elderly & dying, receiving no pastoral care - COVID was the big excuse, but they didn’t even get a phone call ... I don’t think COVID transmitted over the phone. My niece’s pastor was the opposite - if people wanted visits, wanted Communion, he was there & he was in the phone checking on his ‘flock’ constantly. I could go on, but I know you get the point.

No it doesn’t make you Godless, as a matter of fact looking at lots of liberal“churches” you are probably closer to God then many who attend the very liberal churches.

This nation still needs to come back to God. Spending time with God, talking to each other about what pleases God and what He expects of us, praying with and for each other.

We can’t fight evil on our own, we need Gods help.
