RE: church and hunting
I'm not much of a church guy, I'd rather be outside doing something or another. In saying that though I believe In god whole heartedly! We have our talks from time to time, allot of times It's when I'm In the woods on a deer or bear stand relaxing and loving life. I give thanks, I just do It In a different place then others.

Most non-believers that I know haven't, so they don't have anything to base their beliefs on...
Just saying that you don't believe in God based on a gut feeling is like Custer say that he didn't believe there were many Indians in the area...While we are on it...Did you know that the Native Americans knew of the great flood???
I'm in North Carolina and wouldn't hunt on Sunday anyway...I teach Sunday School to our middle school children...This year, I've taken them through Genesis, pointed out that hunting was a God given right...
Last Sunday, I taught about Moses and weare getting into the Plagues this Sunday...We used to have a nice book with weekly lessons planned out, but I find that the children enjoy it better when I come in and tell them the story, summarize it if you will...
btw...The Dead Sea Scrolls are currently in Raleigh and they verify many of the stories in the Old Testement...

RE: church and hunting
i go to church religiously fom many reasons but most of all because i am in school to become a pastor and right now i am ministry for classes so i do not have a choice.
i feel it is imperative to go to church but if you are sitting there and dreaming of hunting rather than worshipping then what is the point of being there?
personally i do not see anything wrong with skipping church on sunday morning for a 'season' if you are willing to set aside time and get involved in different ways. ex. small groups, wed or sunday night services. you get the idea.
i know for a fact that when i am pastoring a church and the rut is in full swing my messages are going to be affected by the dance of rutting giants roaming pass my perch in a tree. if you get what i am saying. were good thread and some serious theology here.

Mossberg,
i do not want to sound like a jerk but just going or not going to church is not going to save you. i encourage you to have a personal relationship with Christ.
