Going once a week to do the same thing you did the time before is the exact definition of ritual. Why do you argue against something with which your religion apparently sees nothing wrong, GC?
I said worship, people worship God with and without the church, gees can't you read what's printed. I've not gone to church and done the exact same thing from one week to the next ever.

If you were to ask God what he thought about Divorce, then read the Bible and found the verses that speak out against it, why do you attribute that to God's guidance? I can find those same verses without any help through prayer, plus I've shaved off a few minutes by heading straight to the book instead of making a pit stop at God first.
I do not know anyone who does not have access to a Bible. I do not need to ask God about divorce, I learned about that when I was in middle school. The questions I might have would concern what God would have me to do in my life to serve others for one, spiritual questions about growing closer to Him, questions about the scriptures He's given us, just to name a few.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
