Yeah I know I spelled it wrong.

Anyways I know a group of people that are talking about getting together and watching The Ten Commandmentsthis weekend and dont believe in anything.

I find that pretty hypocritical myself.

I don't think that you have to believe in God or Jesus in order to watch and enjoy The Ten Commandments, it's a classic.

I don't believe in ghost or huntings but that doesn't stop me for enjoying Amityville Horror, Ghost Hunters or Ghost Adventures.

Perhaps they're trying to understand what religion is about. A better idea, in my opinion, would be to go to church. A good church, with someone who gives good sermons and has a good following. It's always a good idea to to have an understanding of what you're rejecting; so you can know why you're rejecting it.

That example isn't hypocritcal to me based on the reasons already given. However, I found it a bit odd when my cousin got married last year. Both he and his fiance were atheists yet still got married in a church. In my opinion, that seemed hypocritical, but maybe that's just me.

JamesG · 04-22-2011, 04:26 PM

So what you are saying is that you have to believe in the said faith that something is based on in order to watch it?

The Passion of the Christ was not only watched by Christians... I don't understand the "hypocrisy" here.

I dunno, but maybe the atheists want to analyze the film...people say they read the Bible more than anyone else...why?

Yes, that's how I feel, too - even though I don't watch those shows. But like Michael, I think two atheists getting married in a church is hypocritical. After all, doesn't a minister have to counsel a couple before agreeing to marry them? Unless they wanted to please their families by having a church wedding as opposed to a City Hall wedding.

Yeah I agree that it is hypocritical for Atheist to marry in a Church, since the Church represents the house of God. I don't believe that a couple has to get counsel from a Minister before they marry. If you're a member of the Church then you probably would. But if you're just renting the Church for your wedding and you hire any Officiant then I think the whole counseling goes out the window.
