Why have you stopped going to church?

Why have you backslidden?

The main reason is that I am just as poor at attending my present church as I was at attending church when I was a Catholic teenager. I am probably making excuses, but attending church every week was not something I did for my entire lifetime.

My present church is an uncomfortable experience, as well...because there are three people there who have been very unkind to me.

@4meAndyou so you are allowing just 3 people to frustrate you from going to church?

@SilentObZerver No. I prevent myself from going. "My hair won't dry on time." " I can't deal with fasting today." "I slept too late." I don't have any clothes suitable for this weather that will be okay for church." "My shoes are too ugly. I can't go to church wearing sneakers." and then, last but really NOT least..."I might run into those mean people"
