Can't say i ever have, and i know fuck all about them, sadly. Religion fascinates and bemuses me in equal measure... my mum got god soon after my dad left her but she felt like the church was turning her against people and turning her into someone she wasn't. I dunno, i don't define myself as a "believer" in any specific religion, i'm not keen on the idea of organised religion, but i think faith is something else entirely. I don't have much though really. |

This place I went to is verry laid back. All they ask is that you arre a good perrson and believe in spirrits of courrse, but why else would you be therre. Perrsonally I don't believe, but if she tells me something she could neverr know, we'll see. |

I guess that's close to the ideal kind of religion, living by the motto DON'T BE A COCK TO PEOPLE. If i had a church i'd have that on the roof in flaming letters. I know what you mean about her telling you something she couldn't possibly know though, that'd make me think differently too i guess (though i'd probably deny it)... do the people at the church believe in a god or just in spirits? |

they believe in God, a higherr being, but not Jesus etc.. forr an example of telling you something they can't know, she'll say 'i'm getting a message frrom someone called Jane, and i can feel a pain in my chest, she died of a... hearrt attack?' and it's someone's mams name and she died of a hearrt attack. |

I can see that being pretty weird if it happened to me... just how specific does it get? Btw, if you don't believe, how'd you end up going there? It's a lot more open-minded than most people i know; most atheists i've met just can't put up with churches etc and a couple of religious friends i have *hate* being questioned about it... The only thing that's ever pushed me towards religion logically is a book called the bible code by michael drosnin. Some really quite odd stuff in there. |

Not talking about the one you went to, or even spiritualist churches as a whole, but keep your wits about you... it's not unheard of for the people behind them to manipulate their congregation by "revealing" or withholding certain details (for example, exerting power over an elderly widow using messages from her deceased husband as the commodity or getting you to act in their interest by giving you a message that would cause you to do something they wanted...) |

man even if its not manipulation for anyone elses good or bad, its still manipulation for the simple fact that they want people to believe what they are doing, that stuff is garbage and I would never believe it for a second. |

yeah, i'm awarre of that, i'm just waiting to find out what they 'want', they don't ask forr anything orr even expect anything so farr but we'll see. |

if they believe that they arre getting a message to give, i don't believe that it's manipulation. everrything involves a cerrtain amount of faith. something i have verry little of. |

Organised religion is evil. All these organisations have agendas that are very questionable. And they brainwash people too. |
