Do you ever miss it?

[LarissaAnn]

I miss the smiling faces and friendly people who genuinely seemed interested in how things were going for me and I with them. My old church actually donated food to us after my brother's suicide and we thanked them VERY much and gave them a donation, it was very sincere, warm and kind of them. However, despite their good, I cannot and do not miss the backwardness I heard in the sermons, singing twelve hundred songs one right after another in the span of a couple hours, sit, stand, sing, sit, stand, sing, and I especially don't miss catching the pastor spreading false information...like how the ancient Greeks were so backwards they worshipped, Artemis "God of the Sun" ~epic facepalm!~ as a huge Greek Mythology fan my jaw literally fell open, Artemis, if SHE existed would have been on vendetta overload.

I would only go back either to join a family member (such as my Grandma if she had no one to go with and wanted company) or out of morbid curiosity to now see it all from an atheist view, OR to simply admire the pretty buildings. George Carlin said the only good thing religion did was music...and I'd have to add beautiful architecture to that statement. Though I loathe Catholicism as a religion, I could stare at its churches all day.
