Do you go to church?

[PiratePony 8,473]

Roman Catholic here.

I go every Sunday and Holy Day of obligation. I was a lot more lax than I am now, and have had gaps that lasted for months, but after a rather supernatural experience that I had in May, I have yet to miss any obligated day. I also try to go to mass on Fridays now, and as a personal devotion, I went almost every day in June during my lunch break. I'm also trying to go to confession once a month now, as I would go years in between before this year.

I've never been to church and I don't think I will ever go to one unless for a special occasion. I'm not a religious person.

[DixonTheAdversary 1,631]

I've never want except on certain occasions. I was never forced to go when I was younger so a habit of going was never formed.

[Venomous 18,814]

I am catholic but I do not attend church, even on holidays.

[Phosphor 11,523]

I generally don't, but I will attend some special events at the church my family attends. Most of my family are Catholic, while I consider myself to be a classical Deist. Explaining that to my family was a bit awkward because they wanted me to also be Catholic.

I went to Bible School/Church when I was baby and toddler.  However, first, a priest try to baptize  me when I was a baby but I freaked out and he didn't. Secondly, when I was 4-5ish  I pointed logical holes in the Jonah and the Whale story , that  I made my fellow classmates cry and I got kicked out. I haven't stepped inside a church since

Yes, I go to church every week.

[Splashee 28,537]

I go to church sometimes when I feel like it. Mostly walking around the grave yard.

[RaraLover 10,410]

No, I don't attend church. I only attend once a year, which is when they have the 'Christmas Service'.

[Jedishy 3,542]

Having started to run a Jedi Temple myself I attend regularly. I hold lectures most weekends we are working on building the clergy program as well. This is an amazing journey.

no since i am an atheist, but i wonder what'a a church like from the inside. i live in a country with too less churches so i only saw them in movies,,, and i would like to go see how it's like one day. 

[Pandora 38,004]

Not anymore, I used to as a child but it’s really rare for people to still go to church here let alone believe 

[Rainbow Cloud 16,888]

No, I used to be taken to church when I was a kid but I stopped going when I didn't have to anymore as I kind of wasn't really that interested and think there's probably no God which defeats the purpose of religion. I don't have a problem with church or those who have faith though, it's just not for me.

Oh hell naw, fam. This is not my jam. That being said, if my mom or dad were to ask me to be there for them, I would gladly go.

[Early Sunsets 2,106]

Not anymore. I went with my parents until I started college, then I stopped. I lost interest in religion years ago.

[Muffinnz 3,219]

I am a roman catholic

I always go like once or twice a year: on Christmas and on Easter. I'm not too religious

[Octavia Heartstrings 28,427]

Nope. I am a staunch atheist. 

[Lucky Bolt 34,915]

I do not, despite being somewhat religious.

[Misty Gust 708]

I go most Sundays but not every week. At least twice a month though.

[Rebel the Wolfgirl 5,585]

No, as I am a Hellenic polytheist. I therefore conduct my own solitary "services" at home. Once I get an altar for my gods together, I plan to begin regular sacrifices.

[Dreambiscuit 8,139]

I'm Catholic and would like to go weekly but admittedly I don't always manage it. Scheduling problems are the biggest obstacles and I should work harder to overcome them. But I love going to church. If I don't go in person I like to watch a Mass on EWTN.

[ZiggWheelsManning 7,486]

I'm a basic person with ordinary thoughts.  So no church for me.  

[Envy 6,004]

Nope! Thank God!! (See what I did there? )

Church back when I was a believer was as boring as watching paint dry. Now listening to a service disturbs me. I've been exposed a lot to the Pentecostal/Charismatic/"Non-denominational" bubble of belief a lot in the past couple of years and that is quite a change from my childhood church. As in, it's going to make me lose sanity because it is so... detached from reality, and the people are the most rotten Christians, the ones that are driving Christianity into the ground in the USA with their hate, greed, and idolatry.

If I have to hear/read "let no weapon formed against me prosper", "washed in the blood of Jesus", "I know it's witchcraft!", "prodigal child" or any other disturbing evangelical-speak phrase even one more time, I will scream and pull all of my hair out.

[Gun Metal Zebra 1,841]

As an atheist, I do not go to church.

[Starlight Serenade 569]

I am not really a religious or spiritual person, but I went to church the other day for the first time in a long time with my mom as she usually goes alone and I wanted to accompany her. The priest actually gave a good homily that really appealed to some things that were on my mind as of recent. I think every religion has something that can be applicable to everyone's lives as it tries to appeal to the original point of purpose and much more in life. I can see why people would like to go to church and it really doesn't bother me, unfortunately there are other people who aren't as respectful about it.
