Do you ever go to church?

I do,

because I can dress up 馃檮馃槈馃榿

seriously, I'm more spiritual rather than religious
we need to reflect and speak solemnly with Him
when our soul is in harmony with the place
WonderGirl36-40

No, I hate it but I sometimes go to make my grandparents happy
1DogmaF
@SW-User that's funny...
I grew up with a religious mom
so it became a habit
SW-User
@1Dogma I鈥檓 not religious at all, I鈥檓 atheist
th3r0n41-45, M
It depends which church

If I feel the spirit strongly there and the people love God, I am glad to be there

If it has a dark feeling to it or an empty feeling I don't like it
1DogmaF
@th3r0n that's a thought to ponder...

for me it's like a habit because I grew up with a religious mother
th3r0n41-45, M
@1Dogma when I hadn't experienced the spirit of God, felt the fire of the Holy Spirit of the Living God, I was bored at church and believed it was true but found hearing about it boring but after feeling that power it's not the same

I went to a Christian work camp one summer, we helped fix up low income homes during the day and had fellowship and food and singing and praise to the Lord at night, and when we sang there I felt a fire move among those who were singing, and I was told that the spirit of God could be in me, and I was baptized, and years later in faith by his spirit have even cast out demons, though I myself may be the least of his own I can testify that Jesus has dominion over all heaven and earth, and that even unclean spirits have to leave in his name
1DogmaF
@th3r0n I never experienced such thing but I believe in miracles
OverTheHill56-60, M

zonavar6851-55, M
@OverTheHill God is a false man-made concept
SW-User

I burst into flames and have run out
zonavar6851-55, M
In the past I did for a while in my teens and early 20's but I saw through the hypocrisy of christian religion and abandoned religion and church. So glad I was able to escape from the cult and see the light.

Every Sunday
Repete61-69, M
Yes I grew up going Sunday mornings then off to visit grandmother didn鈥檛 get home until about 9 - 10 at night every Sunday the same.
Then I took my daughter until she was in high school
But now I don鈥檛 go.
thepreposterouspanda36-40, M
Nope. Religion really messed my childhood up. I keep it as far away from me as possible.
1DogmaF
@thepreposterouspanda I'm really sorry to hear that
thepreposterouspanda36-40, M
@1Dogma It's all good. :) Just an odd way to grow up.

My parents became hyper religious when I was really young and mom was abusive with it. They ended up taking us to missionary college and then moving all over the place while dad pastored churches just to end up five miles from where we had started.
1DogmaF
@thepreposterouspanda Oh, I never had that strict discipline. I was lucky! 馃
I NEVER go to church. I'm Jewish!! 馃槃

walabby61-69, M
Weddings and funerals..
bhatjc46-50, M
Some times.
caesar761-69, M
I did at one point. Not for worship but a place to reflect and meditate. I listened to the service and everything but I like the peacefulness and solace of the place. I might reconsider going back again for the same reasons.
1DogmaF
@caesar7 true, the peaceful and solemn surrounding could help us reflect and meditate
caesar761-69, M
@1Dogma It did! After the service, I always felt good and happy. It does something to the very soul. All the stresses and the evils of the world are forgotten at that moment. That is why I might be returning. The world and global issues really bring you down.
1DogmaF
@caesar7 our soul is cleansed, and we're connected to the Omnipotent!
