Re: Is it disrespectful to attend a church for service for spellcrafting

Well, my question would be do you believe in the diety/energy/whatever the people at that service are worshipping? Like, are you a hardcore atheist, or are you a polytheist who just doesn't happen to worship specific gods?

Because it sounds like to me your purpose of going to a service isn't just to gawk at the worshipers. It sounds like you want to indirectly participate, and be part of that religious energy in a more postive way than you've experienced in the past. There's no rule that says you can't go and actively worship alongside other people, even if you aren't worshiping exactly the same concepts, right? Like, if you don't believe in Jesus you can still believe in the ideas of forgiveness and compassion, and focus on that rather than the dude himself, for example.

I just think it might be helpful to approach it less as going to a place of worship to observe, like you're a researcher watching lions on the Serengeti, and instead think of it as you're going to this place to experience something alongside the other people there. Go as a participant who's joining the people temporarily, rather than an outsider who's only there to sit around and take notes.
