A good argument for church

I am currently reading Dan Browns, Angels and Demons. Hence the Illuminatic look of the blog. I think I may change the look to reflect what I am reading at the time. Anyway, so I'm reading this book, now I'm not a god fearing man, but I read one paragraph in this good that actually made good sense as to what church should mean to people in our culture that now has answers that the bible once purposed to answer. So I decided to post it, here it is.

"For Sylvie, the church had always been an innocuous entity...a place of fellowship and introspection...sometimes just a place to sing out loud without people starting at her. The church recorded the benchmarks of her life, funerals, weddings, baptisms, holidays, and it asked for nothing in return. Even the monetary dues were voluntary. Her children emerged from Sunday School every week uplifted, filled with ideas about helping others and being kinder. What could possibly be wrong with that?"

By far the best argument for church I have ever heard.
