I don't really have a faith and so I don't go to church. It's just not for me.
Do you still go to church?

I will only go if it is a funeral.

Also, I'm out as a lesbian, and so I don't agree with the church's views. Don't miss it at all. I now consider myself non-religious as a whole or rather...I don't really give two shits about religion.

It's just not my bag.

Raised Catholic buti haven't attended mass in years. My husband and I have looked for a church (he was raised Presbyterian) on a few time over the years but the Catholic and Presbyterian churches in our area are very different from what either of us was used to both in appearance (many statues/icons) and sermons.

nope
10/09/2012
Never went.
10/09/2012
no been 20 years now my gosh time flys
10/09/2012
I don't go anymore
10/09/2012
I only went in the first place because my school made me. As soon as I left that school I stopped going. I'm agnostic, so it makes no sense for me to go to church.

Go to a church that is composed of people that do the best they can to love the Lord with all their heart, with all their soal and with all their strength, and love one another as they would love themselves. What I have noticed is a lot of people do not love themselves so they have a hard time loving others. And they don't realize that G-d loves them even when they mess up.

I haven't gone to church in about 10 years.
12/08/2012
The last time I went was for a funeral.

I go with my mom to synagogue on most Saturdays.

As a kid, my parents belived, and still do, that there were more productive things to do on a Sunday morning then to sit around for an hour listening to people make speeches. Now as an Adult, I attend my UU church when i am involved in an activity like singing with the choir I will go but for the most part I agree with my parents' thinking.

I stopped attending when I decided I really didn't enjoy people looking down their nose at me for not buying into their bigotry.
I live in the south and attended a few Baptist church gatherings with a friend of mine at her behest. They were always making new upgrades to the church - a big giant screen which displayed the preacher's face and surround sound to project his voice for a congregation of probably two-hundred or so people.
Yet prompted for donations to help pay retirement.
Their scorn of sexual relations and practical brainwashing in favor of abstinence.
Not to mention breaking down separate passages in the bible and calling them out with their own personal interpretation. Rather than reading them intact. After taking a Humanities course in which we studied the origins of the bible and many interpretations of Greek words which were translated etc etc etc - the symbolism, the re-writings etc. This irritated me even more.
No I am in favor of abolishing the church as an institution. I'm all for people enjoying their faith and congregating to rejoice in it - but the church has become a monster of an institution which dabbles in politics and has a heavy hand in swaying decisions - it is exempt from taxes when by all accounts it shouldn't be since so often so many are so quick to open their mouths about political affairs and attempt to have their beliefs impressed upon the masses as a law.
No.
I quite deeply disdain 'churches' and their methods.
There are a few which don't fall into this system, there always are exceptions. But for the most part - the pride needs to be cut down.

I used to as a kid, but at some point my family just stopped going.
12/09/2012
My parents made me go as a child and I hated it. I'm not religious and I'll never go back.
12/09/2012
Haven't gone in a few years.
12/09/2012

12/09/2012
Only on holidays when we go back to each others families.
