Come into the Lite - ChurchliteTM - Everything you love about Church with half the guilt+, and 0 grams of metaphysics per service++.

+ We remove all of the guilt over offending imaginary beings and of enjoying life ( "bad guilt" ) while retaining most of the guilt over harming others ( "good guilt" ) and some guilt over privilege (in the form of concern over the plight of the less fortunate)(not present in all competing churches).

++ Contains Philosophical Naturalism (used to prevent Philosophical Supernaturalism), which adds a trivial amount of metaphysics.

Q:

Are you serious?

A:

In the sense that we think unbelievers who want one should have a church, yes. In the sense that we're being honest about our goals, yes. In the sense that we're putting a lot of time and effort into this, yes. In the sense that we're going to keep a straight face while doing it, no.

Q:

What's your vision for the church?

A:

A funky-cool place where pagans and old hippies feel at home until they start talking about chakras and the healing powers of crystals, then they get laughed out the door.

Q:

Is this an Internet thing, or a real-world thing?

A:

A real-world thing, but we're using the Internet as a spring board.

Q:

Where do my donations go?

A:

Apparently, as a church, we're not required to tell you, or anyone else ( including the IRS ) what we do with our money. Ain't that a kick in the pants?

Q:

How is that any different from sending you money and hoping you spend it wisely?

A:

That's exactly what you're doing.

Q:

I won't donate if I don't have assurances that the money will / won't be spent for blah blah.

A:

We understand, but we have Plans which will be difficult to execute if we don't have all of the legal advantages of a church, including their bizarre tax advantages and ability to scuttle around in financial darkness like giant fiduciary cockroaches. We'll miss your money, but hope you'll hang around and support us in other ways.

Q:

Is my donation tax deductible?

A:

In principle, we think so, but we'd really hate for you to get in trouble over it. If you want to try it, we'll be happy to swear to the IRS that we're a real church. When the church has some cash, or when someone donates legal services, we'll send out an update.
