Atheists Plan Anti-God Ad Campaign on Buses

[Montague]

Who says the church members or the church building are The Kingdom of God?  Christians don't believe that.

The Gospel of Thomas says the Kingdom is in and around the people.

As for the other part of your question…

A lot of Catholics from my parents’ and grandparents’ generations believed that you “had” to go to church every Sunday because if you didn’t you were a heathen and would burn in Hell.
They were “scared” into thinking that they needed to attend church and being fed not just God’s word, but also the political messages the church ingrained in them.

And Ozmo is right about the Catholic church having a problem with it.
I believe the reason the Catholic church (among others) refuses to recognize Thomas’ Gospel is it downplays the authority and importance of the church.

How much better would the economy be if people worked all day Sunday and didn't go to Church?

Or what if people didn't pray anymore but rather actively tried to fix the things that they are praying for God to fix?

Don't pray to God to lose weight, stop eating so much and exercise.

Don't pray to god for world peace, become an activist.

Don't pray to god to stop global warming, get rid of your SUV.

Don't pray to god to be healthy, stop smoking and eating McDonalds.

[Lord Humungous]

Sell a church, feed lots of hungry people.
