Going to church

[Nitsuj]

If you ever did go to church, what did you think of it? I ask because whenever I go, it just seems more and more pointless, and I can't wait for it to be over. The blasphemy spouted by the priest, the awful suck-up to God hymns, little kids crying their eyes out...What's your opinion?

[Rhage]

Going to church for me, baptist at that, was all about socializing. Talking to your crush and making sure they saw you talking to someone else. Too much like high school, and I hated high school.

I haven't been to church in over a decade, but I imagine that the church I used to go to is still pumping out the same tired rhetoric and scare tactics. I don't miss it at all.

As head of an extended Irish Catholic family,I'm occasionally obliged to attend rites of passage,referred to in my family as 'hatches,matches and dispatches' Such events are also marked by a craic,which can be fun as long as one remembers to leave before first blood. A craic is only considered a success if it includes the attendance of police and an ambulance. Having the coroner on standby is considered pretentious.

Was a time I would stand insolently at the back sneering at the priest. These days,I sit in a pew right up the front and promptly fall asleep.I've been told I sometimes snore loudly.

It eventually dawned on me that indifference is far more insulting than open hostility or contempt and requires far less energy to maintain..

Bored the life out of me, but i was already pretty much an atheist from a young age before I even understood the concept and thought the whole thing stupid.

Didn't take being dragged along too many times before I told my mum that God doesn't exist... which upset her a little.

Even thinking about it bores the hell out of me. I told my mum I didn't believe in God whilst in the middle of a church service; that was quite amusing.

You just haven't figured a way to make money out of it yet Adrian.

I haven't been to church since I was quite young, but it was a Catholic church, so... boring doesn't even begin to describe it. I've only been to a Catholic church once since then... for a wedding. I don't recommend it unless you have some sleep to catch up on.

Luckily, the Catholic church I am forced to go to is only 45 minutes long. But that's still 45 minutes longer than I want to be there.

It's meaningless drivvle. Hypocrites the lot of em

[Rev. Rye]

I thought it was boring. The fact that I realized the Fridge logic in God sacrificing himself to himself to change a rule he made himself at an early age didn't help.
