How to get out of going to church?

In the end your mother will love you more than Yahwah, and she will forgive you.

No doubt, and I wrote it with a tongue-in-cheek tone.

For me, Mum won't be around forever. She asks me to go, I spend the service relaxing and irritating my brother by braiding the fringes on his tallis. After a couple hours, she's pacified and happy, we go get something to eat, everyone wins. It's not like it was in the past where it was every Friday night until I was bat mitzvah'd, and every Sunday for school, wasting valuable study time. Now, this is like going to see a movie I don't really care about.

The point I was trying to make is that it might not necessarily be HARD to tell your parents you don't give a shit, but it might be EASIER to indulge them when you know they are not going to change.
