So, my father invited me to his church on Sunday, where Gary Habermas, who is from my area and friends with the pastor of the church, is doing a Q and A at the 11 am service. I have met and talked with Habermas once when he came to town in the past. I was about 14, and went out to lunch with him; I remember him telling me about Antony Flew's consideration of becoming a believer a few years before he publicly came out as a deist. Afterwards he gave me his email if I ever wanted to correspond further, which I don't think I ever did. Anyway, I'm not sure if I want to go, as I'm familiar with his shtick, and I really hate going to church. I'm pretty sure I won't go, actually, though I know it would please my parents and it could even be moderately interesting... though awkward, for sure. What should I do?
