Do Catholics have most boring churches/ liturgy?

I highly doubt this is the sole reason why most people go to church. Especially since, as I said, I'm pretty sure the vast majority of people who do go actually enjoy it. 

I didn't mean to imply it was the only reason.  In fact, I was mostly being tongue-in-cheek, even though I think the point is still valid.

With that being said, even if what you wrote above was the only motive behind going, I don't see why that would be a reason to critisize them for it. People make sacrifices out of commitment and love to those they care about all the time. When I was in the hospital for 4 days my husband was there with me the entire time, only leaving to go pick up food for us. He was even sleeping on the awful reclining chair for 3 nights in a row. Did he enjoy being there? Of course not. But he made that sacrifice out of love and commitment to me. If a person hates going to church and goes out of love and commitment to the God they believe in, I don't see why they should be criticized for it as if them doing it is a bad thing.

That's just it.  If what I said was the only motive, that would mean it was all a self-serving show.  It's not really a sacrifice if you're just doing it to secure your place in the afterlife.

"A place in the afterlife" means a closeness and complete connection to God. Those who love God, or who love goodness and love (which is God), want to have that and are eternally happy when they do have it. I don't see anything wrong with that. 

As far as self serving goes, I don't know. Going again to the example of my husband, he cares about me and about our relationship. Sacrificing for me gets him closer to having a good and successful marriage and hopefully a healthy family with children, which ultimately means a happier life for him. Is that "self serving"? I don't think so. He loves me and wants to have that with me, and in turn is happier for it. Same with God.
