[Octavia_Melody2 187]

I go to church on a regular basis. My father is a Church of God minister.

A lot of baptists here, interesting. I regularly attended a local Catholic parish throughout my childhood and teen years and was very active in the community itself. My family was not the kind of family that simply went to mass every Sunday and then just forget everything on Monday. I attended Cathechism classes (kind of like Sunday school but in my case it was on Wednesdays) weekly and was heavily involved in charity some of it with the church some of it outside with my family. Throughout adulthood though my attendance and overall involvement went down, I rarely ever attend now.

Sometimes, maybe every couple months or so. I know that I should go to church more often, but honestly... I don't find it interesting. I'm not religious at all, and as much as I try to be... I just can't do it. I constantly question my faith while I'm at church, since it's always been in my nature to question things that don't make complete sense. I feel pretty bad for it actually :/

I'm catholic so yeah I go to church

I just went their earlier today

It's religion, it's complicated XD.

I am a christian, and I go to a North Stonington Bible Church. I know almost everyone there, and I can't imagine going to any other. It's not exactly a large church but it isn't small.

[ZeroTwo 64]

I have never been, because my family doesn't really have a religion... I would like to go sometime however, not for the religeous teachings, but just to see how it works.

I've been to church a few times just to socialise, we had a specific group that was quite..interesting

 

That said, I never took anything to heart..

Even when I did identify myself as a Christian (Abandoned that a long time ago) I always thought of church as a completely pointless thing. Like, yay, a building purely dedicated to something that could be done at home. I never saw the point. I always thought, if I were to worship some deity, I don't need some dedicated building and a group of people with me to do so. Just my opinion on it, churches seem like a waste of money to me.

 

With that, no, I do not go to church. Never did when I was religious either.

[DragonKing235 198]

I'm a Christian and yes I sometimes go to church with my family.

[QuasarBeam 135]

I go to church with my mother and grandparents.  My grandmother suffers from dementia and the church means everything to her, so I try to go and help her and my mom.  They call it the "First Christian Church" of Fayetteville and I never really asked what denomination we belonged to!    We just say "We're Christians!" so I guess it counts as non-denominational?  My mom's side has always belonged to this kind of church but I guess I really liked how there was never any bashing of other denominations or other religions.  There were never any super strict 'do-nots' that I ever heard and the general message was that anything loving and kind was 'godly' and vis versa.

I attend Calvary Hill Baptist Church, which holds to the London Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689. I'm also actually best friends with the Youth/Young Adult Pastor.

 

I also am fairly certain that everyone there that knows what a Brony is, knows I am one .

[Phoenix Flair 332]

I'm a Mormon, but lately I've dropped off the church thing.  It's just hard for me to keep showing up and sitting in a corner by myself the whole time.  If I ever get out of this funk, though, I'll go back.  Church is pretty sweetles.

[Null_account 144]

Yes, I do. I am a Unitarian Universalist, and I go to a small church that, as of now, is at an am elementary school. It is so much fun! I get to go into the middle school group now... heh heh....

 

[Soctavia 232]

I go to a Catholic church every Sunday, or sometimes Saturday. Unless I absolutely cannot make it.  

[Starlighty 967]

I go to a nazerne church and i go twice ever week.. Which feel longer on sunday cause i go to two church services sunday morning one church service at night then wsday too!

[Eloquence 2,076]

I can remember going as a kid, especially on Easter sundays. My mother wanted us to attend regularly, but it was too hard for my little brother, given his autism. He just couldn't sit through mass, and the sunday school teachers never knew how to handle him. 

 

However, I certainly did not want for religion. I went to a Christian school for my entire childhood, which I now hold responsible for at least 35% of my psychological trauma. I don't have anything against such schools, but having this one tell me I was going to burn in hell forever for liking girls wasn't really the best thing for me...

 

I've abandoned my Christian faith since, moving on to something that suits me better, but I still have nothing but warm feelings for Christians who are kind. In fact, I was involved with a Christian group all through high school, even when my faith began to change, because it was just a group of nice people and I enjoyed their company.

I go to a christian high school and sometimes go to my church (It's a long drive) but I love when I can talk to my youth pastor. I was going through a hard time and he prayed for me when I needed it most.

[Princess Periwinkle 3,775]

This year I am going to a strange church in the middle of Atlanta. It meets in a weird place that's almost like an art gallery. Anyways, it's pretty interesting. Last year I went to one with a paster who had a British accent (love British accents), but it was farther away.

[StellarSarahh 56]

For a long time I wasn't going to church. I would go to a lot of different youth groups with different friends. Kind of just trying to find what suited me best. It wasn't until I met my boyfriend and we started dating for awhile, that I went to church. I now go to church with his family every Sunday that I can. The church they are a part of is a Catholic church and I'm happy to be able to say that it ended up being everything I was looking for. I'm actually going to go through classes at our church to convert from Luthern to Catholic.

I went to church when i was little and the guy asked what happens when i do something my parents don't like or something like that, and i said they hit me.  and then my mom hit me and said i can't say that to people and we never went there again.

 

then we went to a different one and the guy in charge of the kid room said we can't play pokemon and i argued with him for a good long while.  ain't nobody taking away MY pokemon. :okiedokielokie: 

and then he said we all had to listen to him because our parents put him in charge of us, and if he told us to get a knife and chop our arms off in front of him, we had to do it or we'd go to hell.

 

then i got moved to the older kid part and there was a really goth guy there i liked, but then he stopped going.  and then all of the sudden my mom said i was no longer allowed to go to church. and now i do not go to church.

Damn post of the year

 

That's crazy stuff. I was forced to go back to church with my family for the better part of the last year and while fortunately we went to a very accepting and liberal Lutheran Church, it was still so boring and downright cringey at times (I can't stand Christian Rock ). But fortunately now my mom seems to have had enough and I'm not forced to pretend to be a religious believer every Sunday

the older kid part had a band i think.  mostly they'd play random songs like linkin park and then try to translate the lyrics into christian.  XD

Damn that is cringeworthy

I seriously can't take some of these people seriously, they act like something you'd expect to see on South Park, but nope there are real people who act this weird XD

[Malinter 3,064]

I attended church when i was in primary school but once I left for high school I never went again.

 

Religion is not something I ever really needed and I could be doing far more productive things with my time than listen to a priest talking about nonsense in some moldy old church.

 

On old churches however, i do like them for thier achitecture. There's one in York, England that is a bloody monolith of a church. I doubt we could even build anything like that anymore,

[DubWolf 17,263]

As of March I've started going to church weekly as much as possible....

 

But then my faith took a big dip 2 months later, and from then on, everytime I go to church I get distracted about other things not related to church, or I might be thinking about how I want to interpret the bible based on my studies I had a while back, even though I shouldn't try to bend what I was taught back then with another affiliation that seemed reasonably accurate with their interpretations, but it was hard for me to accept what I was taught, like taking the red (or blue) pill from the matrix . Today I basically thought about other things half the time I was in church -_-. I wish I had my faith sorted out :/ .
