I grew up in a Christian family, went to church and/or bible school every Sunday, but was never taught that atheism is dangerous. I was taught though that atheists are going to hell and that I should try to help them to come to believe in god, but I wasn't taught to fear them or feel that their belief is dangerous.
- threatofrain 8y agoDo you church hop? Many protestant pastors will denounce the behavior, but I think it's quite interesting. Also, did you never study apologetics in Bible School?
- Johnny555 8y agoI don't even know what that means. My family went to 3 different churches while I was growing up, changes were all due to moves but we stuck with one church once we were in an area. I don't know how they chose a church, friends/family/coworkers, I suppose.
- threatofrain 8y agoApologetics is a field of Christian discourse involving reactions to and study of cultural, intellectual and scientific movements from the Christian perspective. Hopping around to different churches is an interesting experience many don't have, so I'd encourage it, especially if you attend more days than Sunday (the most boring day to go), and especially if your family has been deciding what church you attend your whole life.
- Johnny555 8y agoOh, I haven't been to a regular church service in decades, not since I left home for college.
