Well, personally I dont beleive in a god or any god so It doesnt affect me except for the fact my parents do and I cant go hunting with nobody home, they go to church.

My view changed after I had an experience with Christ, which showed me that He is real, and I couldn't deny His existence even if I wanted to after that. He is real, he died to give you eternal life, and he loves you more than you could ever imagine! I'm not talking about religion; religion only blinds people and cannot give you the peace of eternal life. Only Christ can give you true peace and eternal life.
I encourage you to open up your heart, and taste and see that the Lord is good!

RE: church and hunting
My "problem" with Christians today....is the belief by some of themthat the only place to worship is in Church. What is "Church"? Can it be abstract? Does it really matter what you think?
I'm with Schulty. I pick and choose my times to have my talks.....and I'd rather be in his back yard when we do so.
What troubles me about religious "conflicts" (i.e. should I hunt or go to Church?; Miss a Sunday @ Church?; etc...) is the utter hypocrisy of it all. Our son used to go to Christian School (still goes to Church, there)....and they would preach how ANY alcohol was dreadfully sinful. Ditto some music of today (including some that might surprise you). Yet these people are involved in affairs......weigh 300#'s+.......etc.. That sickens me.
Hunting is personal. A man's relationship with God is personal. I wish everyone wouldfocus their energy into tending totheir own relationships.

Anyway............ Jeff you can draw up a god and make him look. act and smell anywayYOU want ....in fact you did with the above post ...... but that isn't the TRUE God ...... I wouldn't want a god like some of you guys have ....one that is whatever an individual wants him to be ....that is not a god at all ...actually, that thought process makes YOU god ..YOU are the creator ....YOU make the rules .......and by the way, that makes God fallibel, since YOU are not perfect .....no thank you!!!!
There is ONE TRUE GOD .....and He has given us a rule book ....The Holy Bible. You see, some guys on here believe in a God that is ALL powerful, ALL knowing, ALL present .... a God that could have over 40 imperfect human writers who were led by a perfect God to pen and assemble a Book that will NEVER be done away with!! It has stood the test of time and has NEVER been proven wrong. There is ONE TRUE GOD .....There is ONE WAY TO HEAVEN ....... ONE .....The Lord Jesus Christ...it's all in the Book
Some of you need to humble down and ask God if He would open your eyes to His Word, the Bible .....you need to put your trust in The Lord Jesus Christ .......or there is an eternal hell fire waiting for you that was prepared ....not for you, but for the devil and his angels .....ask God if what this Preacher says is true ...believe that He is big enough to speak to your heart .... He will.....if YOU let Him

RE: church and hunting
Kinda how i feel michbowhunter.
I belive in god but not in religion
I feel that our founding fathers did not mean to keep god out of our country but all the churchs out. As god is in the const. mainy times.
I know alot of people who go to church every time they can and are no closer to god then i am

Bowtech, I used to have a similar point of view. I guess you could say I was more of an agnostic than an atheist as you claim to be. I thought there probably was a God, but I didn't think it could be proven, and if He did exist, He wasn't much involved with the affairs of everday life here on this planet.
My view changed after I had an experience with Christ, which showed me that He is real, and I couldn't deny His existence even if I wanted to after that. He is real, he died to give you eternal life, and he loves you more than you could ever imagine! I'm not talking about religion; religion only blinds people and cannot give you the peace of eternal life. Only Christ can give you true peace and eternal life.
I encourage you to open up your heart, and taste and see that the Lord is good!

RE: church and hunting
I also agree. There is a neighbor i talk to he is in his 70s. HE goes every Sunday every wens day and hands out booklets about the church and god and so on.
He says and the pastor there says. alcohol is a sin in any amount. But he cooks with wine all the time. He even told me he tasted the stuff he bought and it is nasty. Alcohol is bad but smoking and chewing tobacco is OK.
I have been to church all over thecountry and there is all ways something that is wrong with each one.
I have never found something wrong with worshiping god in the woods.

I do not object to what anyone else believes or dosen't believe, I just think that it is personal, and should be kept that way.
