I rediscovered being a member of a dojo. Combines some elements of spirituality / higher purpose together with some pretty awesome exercise endorphins. It's like church, but without the god thing.

- chadgeidel 10y ago"Going to church" is much more than worship of a god-being. Being part of a community is important. Church helps with that.
- peatmoss 10y agoThis is absolutely what I mean--having a group that cuts across a different set of sociodemographic characteristics than I otherwise encounter regularly. The shared struggle of the whole thing also makes it a pretty close-knit group.
- rch 10y ago> omelette without eggs or soup without water Those sound like interesting recipes to me. Water is fine though, as long as it isn't fluoridated.
- fsloth 10y agoThere is a higher purpose involved, it's just not a deity. A church is a society wound around a higher purpose.
- lgieron 10y agoYou might not be aware of the fact that there ARE godless religions - for example buddism.
