To answer your questions Lindsay:-

"I have even written one poem which spurs people to support their Church; it does not presume a religion."
Could we see the poem?
**see below and use if you desire.
Churchill?


We’re all concerned when someone’s ill,
especially someone whom we love.
We soothe them with our sympathy;
send them to the doctor with a shove.

But have you ever stopped to think
what you'd do if the CHURCH was ‘ill’?
You could not give it a medical check,
fit a bandage, or give it a pill.

But if it is not working healthily
and we want it to be improved,
its problems must be identified
and eliminated before it’s soothed.

A Church is not just a building;
it’s the Members like me and you!
And herein lies the cause for ‘sickness’;
the faithful can get ‘sick’ too!

So, to make our Church a fitter place
lets point it and touch up the paint.
But, for a really big improvement,
lets change each sinner to a Saint!

Cast out bad habits and behaviour;
bring in care, compassion and love.
Our House will soon be in better order,
when we all give the Devil the shove.

We may not know who are the patients,
or who will ‘doctor and nurse’.
No one will wear a uniform,
it will be harder than writing this verse.

Some of the sick will make good nurses;
the Consultants may be very few.
Support is needed from everyone;
it will come, from God, through you.

Your Church needs you now !!!
Creative commons copyright (written by Portery).

"I do not attend any religious occasions except births, marriages and deaths."
It would be interesting to know: The size of the church; how many attend; the quality of the preaching; if it is thought provoking.
**Size, attendance and quality depends on where the event takes place and the sizes of Families and friends.

"I do not believe there any Truths behind any God(s) or Religion."
What about the role many church leaders, over the centuries, have played in helping bring public, education, hospitals, prison reform, the end of slavery and many other forms of about social justice. In modern times, for example, we have had the work of Martin Luther King, who gave his life to end segregation. Look what Bishop Desmond Tutu has done, and is doing, for his fellow Africans? Is this not a truth, and of great value?
**You are thinking of human actions and money spent. No God is required for those.

"I do know that Gods reside within temples (i.e. behind the forehead)."
Jesus taught this. The metaphor in ancient times was the heart. They had little knowledge of the human anatomy. Carl Jung, and A.N. Whitehead--panentheism (Check Wikipedia)--and others, all spoke of the god with us. To avoid confusion with pantheism, I use unitheism (also in Wikipedia), as in my signature.
**I mean the temple literally. God, if you have one, need only reside in your brain and not exist elsewhere. It is a concept, usually implanted by other people or their writings (my beliefs).

"I do not believe that Gods do not exist."
Why the double negative?
**The definition I use for agnostic is "A person who claims that they cannot have true knowledge about the existence of God (but does not deny that God might exist)" - from Wordweb. I cannot say I am agnostic because I do not claim that I cannot have true knowledge about the existence of God. (I don't presently have such true knowledge, but may do so at some time in the future).
