There are two kinds of church kids [Spirituality & Religion]

I was taken to church when I was young up to about 12 years old. Went a long time without going but always believed. Far into adulthood I became a Christian and I believe nobody has the wright to judge anyone before they judge themselves first and I believe you either love Jesus and what he did for you and go to church. Or you don't. Or you don't believe in him. If you do believe in him and don't go to church then you don't love him or appreciate what he did for you. Because if you do love him and appreciate what he did for you then you would go to church. I believe in him and know he loves all of us and wants us to go to church. You can't be a Christian and not go to church. Christians are his body and his body is his church. If you don't go to church then you're not part of his body. Going to church is VERY important.

I've only been to church every so often, but I didn't mind it. The community there was very kind and helpful.

I was the one who felt indifferent the entire time, had lots of questions, and decided to stop attending due to it feeling unnecessary.

I'd be interested in going again, just to see it from another perspective, but I'm not sure if or when that might happen.

I went because I had crushes on a couple of the girls there my age, picked up the religion as a side effect of that.

It didn't take, when they started talking about how you just had to believe in something without any evidence it jarred with me, even at 14 or 15.

I didn't appreciate church until adulthood. As a kid, I had to be practically dragged there. As an adult, I could better understand and relate.

Well, I went regularly enough, I didn't rebel against going, as I like 'shows', but I was really disappointed about the supposed ideal that was presented.

I'm proof that being an over protective "don't let your children have a life" parenting will backfire.

Second one totally!

The second. I hated it.

Nice mugshot ;)

The third ones who go to church whenever they they need to, they don't hate it nor embrace it, and going to church will definitely never be something they consider their lives

I was never forced into the church. But as a free thinker. I never fell for the misguided ideals of man made bi laws.

I was raised a heathen so I didn't go

I wasn't raised in the Church.

I went through both phases, believe it or not. I went from (as a teenager) seriously considering joining the cloister and becoming a postulant to eventually leaving the faith altogether, at about age 30.

Well you seem to have all the answers: you tell us
