- I don't like it. It's mostly boring and old. Who wants to sit there
and listen to why you're a sinner. I already know that. Besides, no one
ever takes it serious, or they would all be on antidepressants.
- More and more churches are getting into politics and abandoning
their mission: To help lead someone toward God. The last time I looked,
politicians are not God.
- I prefer the out-of-doors to do my worshiping and searching for God.
Churches are too stuffy and bogged down in doctrine. A few churches
have made me feel holy, but I'll take animals, air, the sky, birds,
trees, water. Those things are the creation, not a church building.
- I replace the church hour by watching "Sunday Morning." This is
probably the best show that has ever appeared on TV. It has been a solid
show with Charles Kuralt, and now Charles Osgood. It helps me relax and
forget about all the mundane things we have to deal with, like
explaining to everyone why I don't go to church. I tell them I do, every
Sunday morning, eight to nine-thirty.
- I am seriously not into all the born again stuff. While the concept
is not bad-you screwed up and now want to do better-you would be much
better off finding a good therapist. Once you have corrected your
drinking, or violence, or sleeping around, then it would be a good time
to go to church, if it helps soothe your soul.
- I pretty much pray every day. I don't need a church for that. The
way I figure, life is a prayer. Living it. I try to do my best each day,
but some days it just doesn't work. So I sleep it off and start again
the next day, praying that I do better.
- The church building, for the most part, seems a terrible waste of
money. A group of however many builds a church. After said time, a group
of people breaks away from the original church, usually over a dispute
about doctrine. That group goes off and builds another church, and the
cycle repeats itself. Most churches come into existence out of this
negativity, and never get over it. Christians would be better served by
taking the money to build a church and feeding the hungry.
- With all that being said, there are some good churches. I just haven't found any yet.
