I don't if some people call it Church or a temple or a holy place. I'm not so sure but yeah does anyone go to church, or whatever you call it on sunday maybe even Everyday? I'm not going to lie I don't go everyday. I try but I guess it's just not my thing. I use to go everyday when I was little but when you get older I guess you just don't have the time if not your just not that interested as you was when you was little.

I go to church every sunday but honestly there are times i missed because of uncontrolled circumstances . Going to church is renewing and refreshing your spirit. i long to church if i miss one sunday. Friend, it is a different thing when you have peronal relationship with God even you don't go church every sunday. You might be there but your mind and spirit is not there, it is useless. Going to church is like lifelong learning. There is always new to learn. There you can find the elders and fellows to remind you about our daily living. Living on earth is really scary. There are so many temptations in your everyday living. if you do not have consistent and continuos learning of how to live in the will of God, yes! you might be tempted. You will not know that you are already in. So I suggest, make sunday special giving time for spiritual feeding so that you may live life according to God's will.

In my home town ,few of them believe the religion .they do some prayers just at the beginning of the year.they don't go to some holy places like temples .however ,it is very popular in Tibet .They have many inclinations to God. Their belief are depply rooted in their hearts.

I came from a religious and conservative family...I used to go to church every Sundays but not anymore... In my opinion, frequent church goers usually are gossipers and have bad attitudes... they do something behind your back since their reason is that they go to church everyday and they can ask forgiveness when ever they go. Its been a long time I didn't go to church but I am not a selfish person, I offer help somtimes and I respect others as they are, not unlike those hypocrite religious people.

We don't go every Sunday, but we do go once in a while. It seems like the more we try to go, the more that comes up and stops us from going. We do; however, pray in our home. My husband and I believe that it is not necessary to go to church to worship God. God is everywhere.

No I don't go to church on sundays! I believe a person doesn't need to believe in God to go to church! I did alot as a child and as a teenager. I hated every minute of it! I can't remember the last time I was in church but I can tell you I wasn't comfortable! I struggled for years with my faith and religion! Now I'm at peace with what I believe in and church isn't part of it!

No, because i go to church on saturdays. It is one of my best day of the week. if i can't go to church in a week i fel my week is incomplete, i feel tired and empty inside. I just don't know why but i think it my emotional and spiritual need to really go church. I've grown up diligently going to church evry saturdays. Going to church makes me feel good and better, the messages i will hear will inspire my inner self and it helps strengthen me spiritually.

i do go to church every sunday (and sometimes more often!) but my church is definitely not boring! church gives me a place to hang out with people of like mind and these people have become my family. also and most important, church is a place where i can learn more about my faith and the GOD i serve.

The last time i`ve been in a church was... 4 years ago and that was for a wedding. Not religious, at all ! I think it`s been more than 10 years since i`ve been in a church for praying or stuff like that.

Hello there, i do go to church but not regularly now that i am far from the church we go to and since i am a foreign in this country were i am now residing. But i see to it that there is a time alone for God and i keep that Sabbath day Holy and even if not sticking to a certain church will make you disobey God's law. Before i find it guilty if i don't go to church regularly. But now i understood more clearly what is important and what i needed to do to be more Spiritual rather than what others focus Religiously. Happy Mylotting!

When I was young, I regularly go to church every Sunday. My parents oblige me to go with them. But when I grew up, I only go to church on certain occasion. I believe that I need not go to church to pray because God will hear me out wherever I am. I can also solemnly pray at the privacy of my room rather than in church.

My religion does not have a church, but even if it did I probably would not attend. For me, my connection with spirituality cannot be fulfilled in one place, at one time, with one book or words. It is something inside of me, that only I can understand and love. I do not feel the need to justify it or show it. As long as it feels right for me.

Wow, I was afraid I would be the first to post something like this! I feel the same way you do. For me, religion, spirituality, whatever you want to call it, is something very personal. If someone invades in that, I feel like I have been robbed. I've always been pretty offended by those who feel your spiritual worth is guided by how often you attend church. So many times, hypocritcal people stand by their church attendance. "I could not possibly have molested that little boy; I go to church!" I understand that religion works for a lot of people. If your faith makes you a better person, makes you happier to be alive, then good for you. I applaud that. But just because I don't do it the same you do doesn't mean I am less of a person.

It doesnt say anywhere in the Bible that people have to go to church everyday or every sunday. Paul says in the Bible that it is good for people of the same faith to get together and meet on a regular basis, but he didnt say it had to be every week. That it just something the Catholic Church came up with to get more participation on sunday.

I don't know how many people can relate to me on this, but I will go ahead and throw it out there. I have a lot of negative experience dealing with my husband's insanely religious family. I have said it before, go with it if it makes you a better person. But religion does NOT make them better people. First of all, I think they give way too much credit to "Satan". If you listen long enough to them, Satan has done way more and has more influence than God ever has. If you are Christian, why put so much belief and and credit into the devil? It just doesn't make sense. Also, I am not sure what higher being I believe in, but whoever it is is a pretty nice entity. My god doesn't hate people based on their sexuality or use of contraceptives. My god knows humans make mistakes. That's why we are humans, after all! He or she doesn't hate me or want to damn me to hell because I lived with my husband before we were married, or because I said a cuss word last Wednesday. As far as I am concerned, he/she has much bigger fish to fry with the state of our economy, our children, our world.

I have always thought that the church is a sacred solemn place. But I have never entered before, because my beliefs do not fit the church go! However, every time I see on television at the church, able to make my peace of mind! Once, I had my dream wedding can be held at the church, wearing a white wedding, the priest at the face with my life partner love each other commitments promised.

I do try to make it to church every Sunday. Did not make it yesterday. Our churh does have Wednesday night dinner and classes, but we never make it to that. My boys are either doing football, baseball or something. I can honestly say that I would be lost without my church family. Whenever we have had a crisis, they were there. When I had a miscarriage in 2000, my mom was in England visiting friends, but my church was here for me. In 2005, we lost our business due to a fire, the youth group at the church was here helping us to clean and sort through everything. I think you do not have to go to churh to believe in God, but like I said I would be lost without my extended family and friends.

I don't go to church, Im not a subscriber of any religion therefore I think going to church would be disrespecting the worshippers. Plus I have not yet heard of a preacher who uses rational arguments while speaking to the audience. But then nothing about religion is rational.

were seventh day adventist. we go to church on saturday because the bible says to keep the 7th day holy, sunday is the first day of the week.. we dont go every sabbath because the kids get bored.. they love sabbath school but personally i think that children get more out of reading bible stories then listening to a pastor talk. if you want your kids to actually learn about God i think you should teach them yourself. they listen to you and they trust you and this way you get a say so about what they learn not some sunday school teacher that doesnt understand your family or your children.
