Are you religious? Do you go to Church because you want to or you go only when you have to?

Only when my wife forces me to accompany her (she is catholic) :). I find it boring as I'm atheist or more appropriate would be to say "a person with scientific view" :)

I voluntarily go to church on a regular basis. However to me, Church is a gathering of believers to worship God NOT a place of worship. As far as Christianity is concerned, I believe that it is being misrepresented by the various Christian denominations. A careful study of the Net Testament will show that this representation of Christianity is not how God originally inteded it to be.

Very well Put


Not much between voodoo and the representation of christianity we see around the world. SOME of the things done in the name of religon are downright EVIL

I go to church every sunday and whenever I feel like I want to go.
It is just a few meters away from my home.

i go on xmass and easter , as well as weddings.
i am not religious , but i am a strong supporter of keeping traditions (let me repeat traditions, not backward thinking) - and since religion is part of our tradition i dont mind keeping them.

in general, i have no problem with people who believe, but i have many problems with the behavior of the church.

I think that you can pray and worship god anywhere. Church is inside you not in a building.
