I am a Christian, I love God and I feel that having a relationship with God is the best thing in the world, and what God truly wants from us. However, Church bores me and I don't enjoy going, ever. I pray regularly, I read the bible, but I don't go to church. Does this make me a bad person?

Nope, don't think you're a bad person at all. Do you hang out with other Christians and discuss your beliefs? That's a type of fellowship, too. Joining together as Christians makes us stronger as believers, but you don't have to go to a specific building to do that. In my opinion, the purpose of the church is to reach the lost and unbelieving and bring them into the fold. But, so many religious people will try to guilt you into going and say that you're not really a Christian if you don't. Well, it's the devil's job to accuse the believer of not believing.
For me, I actually enjoy going to church, but I have some health problems that make it hard for me to attend all the time, so I don't go very often anymore.

Thank you!!!! But sadly, only a few people that I hang out with are strong believers. Some of them say that they believe, but their actions are cruel and greedy, and my friend who's a VERY strong Christian says that I am a lone light in the Darkness when it comes to this group of people. But I believe that the 3 or 4 people that I am closest to, that Do believe in God as I do, we grow stronger everyday in eachother and we DO explore our beliefs and we do fellowship. Thank you very much!
