Interesting on what the atheists want and are attempting to call church.
Nostalgia isn’t worship. Everyone is comforted being in a place that may remind you of good times or familiarity and such, but that alone isn’t worship or “church”.
A guy up on stage doing his comedy routine isn’t worship, or “church”.
Singing a bunch of rock songs, isn’t “church”.
This is people knowing they lack something because they have a void in their lives, and they’re trying to fill it with worldly crap that doesn’t matter. Many won’t ever fill it with the thing they need the most, Jesus Christ, because He’s the only thing that will fill that God-shaped void. But they aren’t looking for Him because they don’t believe He is God. They’re trying to fill the empty space in themselves God would occupy, with everything but God.
And when you do that, you eventually realize nothing fills that space, and you either conclude only God could, or you don’t figure it out and get more and more depressed because nothing you try fills that void.
May the Holy Spirit convict them to invite Christ into their hearts.
I think God has created the need for fellowship in us. But was is the difference between fellowship and Christian fellowship.
Many churches are just clubhouses. Other than the sermon you will seldom hear much about God. I can learn about the weather, grain prices and politics there though.
