Does anyone go to church every Sunday?

[SoJust]

[jennifer_bloom]

I view God as sacred and the values of the bible as sacred but I do not view most churches as sacred. There is too much human manipulation and error in the process of running a church that I view it purely as a social club or a place where people can network with others.

I struggle with God. I try to go, but sometimes I just want to have nothing to do with church (sometimes God), OR the “fan club.”


IF I am exhausted (a pretty common thing), then I try to catch a service online. Church isn’t always such a great experience for me, and it’s hard to justify going (or even watching) sometimes. But it’s one of the few chances I get to get out of the apartment, but it’s not something I look forward to.


I used to go (sort of get dragged) every Sunday and Wednesday and be in the Bible studies… (because what would the neighbors or friends think if we weren’t seen?) but on my own, as an adult, with my life, it’s been tough to want to get up and go. So… sort of? But not really? Does it count if we’re doing virtual?

[Madlc]

Why do you feel this way about going to church?
I hear this a lot from Christians.
It seems like a common problem!

[SoJust]

Yes, it counts, I do it virtually too, I use churchome.

[ManInChains]

I don’t go every Sunday because I have to work on some Sundays… but I sometimes go to a new life church with my mom when I visit on a Sunday and I sometimes attend a baptist church with my friends.

[SoJust]

Nice, I'm happy for you

[dustybiker2]

Waste of a good Sunday. I can pray while mowing the lawn if I felt the guilty itch. The boxwood makes a fine confessional. The neighbors can render judgement through their floodlight camera speaker. I don't feel guilty for this honesty, if I am truly loved and all is forgiven... even for mass murderers and the like. End-perfect-timing-rant. I needed that. Absolved.

I used to when I was with my son and after his growing up years. I raised him in the church and he still goes to this day.

I on the other hand don't go anymore. But I do watch Dr. Charles Stanley on Sunday mornings.

[SoJust]

I also watch Judah Smith on Sunday mornings, maybe you can too churchome

[SoJust]

Is your son a devout Christian now?

[sage2021]

@He has never stopped being a Christian. I am glad I took him to church since he was in diapers and he's always loved going to church and was baptized - it was his idea to get baptized.

He is older now like me🙂

[SoJust]

Great, I'm glad to hear that. I'm a Christian too. Dr. Charles Stanley has passed away. Do you watch old episodes on Sundays?

[SoJust]

If you want, you can listen to Judah Smith Pastor, I listen to Judah Smith Pastor every Sunday on Churchome, and I also listen to daily guidance prayers.

[sage2021]

@SoJust
I imagine I am watching reruns of him since he died.

[SoJust]

I understand, I suggest you also listen to Pastor Judah Smith

[Anonymous]

Yes plenty of people do. I don’t I’m Muslim, but plenty of people do and that’s okay

[SoJust]

Are You a Muslim

[Opinion Owner]

Never said I was a good Muslim

[SoJust]

Are you Arab? Can I know your race?

[GOLDFISH_smile]

I and my husband do. I help in the nursery on rotation, and he is a greeter on rotation, so we need to be there every other week anyways. We still go on the between weeks to see friends and worship and study in community.

[TycheKairos]

An unnecessary and classic activity. I'm against religions, but I think you can go to church every week to pray or do rituals.

However, this can be done at home and spending 1 day there is also a question mark.

[OddBeMe]

Doubtful. Information is pervasive. And the more someone reads about abused kids, other bullshit religions and science that debunks the entire bible…less will come.

[elaphe]

Actually, some science confirms some biblical passages. For example, I know a biblical archeologist who has excavated sites mentioned in scripture. As far as child abuse, it is most pervasive in schools. Should we close down all schools (and universities, and hospitals, and social services departments, etc.) where children are also abused?

[PBandJ_Nerd]

We used to but now have stopped since my mom is healing her shoulder.

[SoJust]

I'm so happy for your mother

[rosemilk]

i've barely stepped foot in a church in my life

[rosemilk]

i say barely because from what i could remember i'd be too young

[SoJust]

I understand I go to church every Sunday

[mb120101]

No I haven’t been to church since I was 5 to make my grandma happy

[mb120101]

I wasn’t raised religious in general

[SoJust]

So why was your grandmother happy that you didn't go to church?

[mb120101]

I went to make her happy

[SoJust]

I understand you were not raised religious?

[mb120101]

No I was raised with morals based on the rules of society and being nice to others, it didn’t come from a book. People who died thousands of years ago aren’t going to tell me what to do. It’s all human concepts.

[SoJust]

Good idea my friend.

[CountryWanderer]

I try to. Sometimes things come up that prevent me, but I'll make it almost every week of the year.

[Aadfy92]

Yes. And I believe it or not, I’m not being forced to, I’m not “brainwashed”, and I do it to thank God for the blessings He has given me in life.

[chrissykerdock]

i love getting on my knees in church

[SoJust]

I also like to pray on my knees

[chrissykerdock]

its humbling to do so

[SoJust]

Yes.

[Dargil]

I did for 10 years but Covid broke the habit.

[OtterMan68]

Being Catholic, I can go to the vigil mass Saturday night, and yes, I go every week

[SoJust]

Do you have a church membership?

[OtterMan68]

I'm a registered parishoner

[SoJust]

Which church do you belong to?

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

I used to go every Sunday but recently stop going every Sunday and tomorrow I'm not going again.

[SoJust]

Why did you stop going

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Just got stuff going on right now.

[SoJust]

Like what?

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Personal stuff.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

I do because I am told to. I think that's the main reason of most who go to church these days.

[SoJust]

What is the main reason? Is someone else directing them?

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Apparently the guilt of not going to church brainwashed into their heads. It's for the sake of not going to hell.

[Benitomussoloni]

Yes, we nationalist Italians do this all the time.

[SoJust]

Great, do you go to Catholic church every Sunday?

[Benitomussoloni]

Yes, of course

[SoJust]

Which church do you belong to?

[Benitomussoloni]

roman catholic church

[SoJust]

Good , I used to be a devout Catholic, but now I am a devout Christian and I have a Churchome membership.

[Benitomussoloni]

Why did you leave Catholicism?

[SoJust]

The reason I left Catholicism is because of the message Jesus Christ gave us in the Bible. Jesus tells us that we should not be separated, so I just follow Jesus.

[Benitomussoloni]

I understand you. So, which country are you from? Is Catholicism common there?

[SoJust]

I'm in Turkey, Islam is more common here, but there are churches, I go to the Christian church every Sunday.

[Benitomussoloni]

For God's sake, is he a Christian Turk? Dude, are you serious?

[SoJust]

I couldn't understand what you meant

[SoJust]

The name of the priest I listened to is Judah Smith, she is an American.

[DishLady]

Yeah.

[SoJust]

What church do you go to and do you have church membership?

[DishLady]

That’s classified…. But yes we do.

[SoJust]

May I know the name of your wonderful church?

[dreamstar72]

No because I don’t fit in (not in a bad way)

[WintersDaughter]

No, I'm Jewish so I don't go to church lol

[SoJust]

Are you waiting for a savior?

[WintersDaughter]

No, I'm not

[SoJust]

What do you expect or believe?

[WintersDaughter]

In HaShem. I don't believe in hell, I'm not waiting for a savior or a messiah. I don't believe in jesus.

[SoJust]

I get it , so how do you worship , what is the name of God?

[TommyMountainFigure]

I'm sure there are some who do.

[Benitomussoloni]

@TommyMountainFigure you are an unbeliever

[TommyMountainFigure]

@Benitomussoloni And you're a nazi.. I know which one I'd choose :P

[Benitomussoloni]

I'm not German so I can't be a Nazi

[TommyMountainFigure]

@Benitomussoloni <<< in your eyes wasn't a nazi huh? Anyway, I could care less what you are. I only made the assumption as you did with me when you stated I was not a believer.

[rachel776]

the minister 🤷‍♀️

[jahaims]

Nah, I'm not mentally ill

[SoJust]

For example, what do you do when there is someone you want to tell your troubles to?

[Boomchakalaca]

Nope

[AmazonChick171]

Yea we do

[Booklover_90]

Yes. 😊

[leahzrc]

I wish, but I'm shy

[SoJust]

What are you ashamed of?

[leahzrc]

I am ashamed of a lot of things. I wish I could take back everything I ever did

[SoJust]

I'm sorry, man

[PavlovsCogk]

You had experience with incubi?

[leahzrc]

I haven't had sex with a ghost no

[ellefia]

Nooo

[Astarlessnightsky]

nope, never

[Jkgordon]

Waste of time

[MattyIce_IceBaby]

Nope.

[elaphe]

I do, yes.
