.....and here I thought that a church was a building where people went to worship a non-existent deity, supposedly omnipotent and too shy to be seen, heard, or apparently too lazy to do anything at all.

Church is another word for a meeting of people. You can have a church without a building anywhere people can come together.

Church is the building,

People is the congregation,

Event is the mass/service,

Faith is of "a people", as in people of a certain faith.

it is also a contradiction when people say they are going to church when they mean a building only

Church is not a people its a person, Jesus. We are all one thing, the body of Christ, Jesus is in us all, and Jesus is the head of the body, so we are all one big body of Jesus. So no its not an event, nor is it a people, it is the body of Jesus. I had this vision after taking communion, it was intense.

The service is to edify the Christian, Just as Jesus loved his disciples and served them, ministers who are mature in Christ are called to serve his disciples. Church is for us to grow, to come together to serve Jesus. In some countries churches are villages of people who love Jesus and grow together, like a tribe, india is one of these. They do church all the time because they are the church and they are together 24/7 they work for penuts to keep the church running. People thrive in these churches because everyone shares everything again emphasizing oness.

It's a place, not a people. The people are the congregation. Sheesh
