I Dont Go to Church

I grew up in the church. We'd attend several nights a week. When you're that young attending, you don't really get much out of it, besides the singing and basic ideals of your faith.
I remember hating to go. I went to one of those stereotypical Black churches 馃槅
We didn't have a youth center, so all the children had to sit in the sanctuary with the adults. It would be so hot in the sanctuary, and boring. You had to sit still for hours in the most uncomfortable clothes, and if you said anything or moved around a bit, you'd get pinched and stared at hahaha!

We stopped really going when I was around ten. As an adult I tried to get into it again. I'd go with friends to an all youth church. Everyone was college aged. STILL COULDN'T DO IT! I had to stop going because every time during the sermon, I'd pass out, or would be nodding off the entire time. Church is just so boring to me.

So, yeah. That's why I don't go to church.

I haven't gone since Sunday school when I was a young teen. I liked some of the stories, but the food and games was the real draw

@DanielChristensen hahaha, totally understand
Compliments on giving it a try

Angels will find you when you are not looking ... be open to their love ... as it seems you are.

Maybe a different church? They are not all the same.

@originalGOS So the point is, you just don't want to go. All the rest is just justifying to yourself why you do not go.

@Classified No, I don't really. I did when I was younger, but as an adult, not really. @bigjohndl Incorrect, I don't mind going. I'm not even Christian, but I still don't mind going and listening to the sermon. It's not about the religion, it's the message. It's just since I was younger, I've never been comfortable. So, I prefer listening to podcasts and stuff like this.
