Who goes to church?

Does anyone on this board besides me go to church? I was wondering this as I was driveing to church this morning.

 

Church is a pretty big business in Florida. I guess thats the main reason I dont go. I thought it was supposed to be about helping and educating people. Dont need a half million dollar sound and light system to do that. Every church here has a band, giant flat screen tv's, etc.etc...

You gotta wonder if it's like that in Florida because there's a bunch of Oldsters down there, just waiting to get bilked out of their life savings.

It reminds me of the South Park episode that was on last night, where Pat Robertson was on TV asking for donations to build the "600 Club Intergalactic Starcruiser". Hilarious. "Now, Jesus needs your money so that we can get a Negative Ionic Tractor Beam Disrupter and Argon Crystallic Lasers. Need to have Argon Crystallic Lasers to penetrate thick space hulls so that we can spread the word of Jesus."

 

I used to go to church when I was a kid, quit when I was a teen, and now I'm starting to go again because I am starting to feel the need to go again. My GF is fairly religious and wants me to convert to Catholism.

 

I have absolutely no reason to go to church but have nothing against those that do.

 

May I make a suggestion? Convert to catholicism because YOU want to, not because your GF wants you to. You won't ever be happy with your choice if its forced on you.

I haven't been to church in a while, but thats mostly because I work just about every sunday, and don't really have a choice in the matter. My Fiancee and I are Christians, and plan on going to our church more regularly once things settle down a bit as far as marriage, home buying and things go.

I have no problem against those that go, as long as they don't judge me for not going.

Never been to church, most likely never will.

 

I go to church cause I get to drive the bus. Did I mention it is a Chevy Kodiak C5500, with Dmax/Allison. It is sweet! I was on the committee that picked it out.

 

not a church person at this time. to much of it jamed down my throat as a kid. but yes i do belive there is a higher power out there somewhere.

 

Wow, luckily this is a mature forum. I find the 3 absolutly taboo subjects that will start more fights than anything are politics, religion, and your favorite nascar driver.

I'm with the crowd that used to go as a kid. Was forcefed religion, baptised 3 different times for 3 different religions. And I'm done with it.

 

I didnt grow up going to church but I did go every sunday for a few years and now I cant really as I work sundays now I guess oil changes are more important and I need the money.
My wife wishes we could go and the few sundays I get off I must addmit I sleep in and rest.

 

I find that through out towrig.com very mature members that respect one another. I'm a member of www.snowest.com for all my snowmobile stuff and most of the guys on their forum are about the most argumentive bunch I have ever witnessed. This thread would be on it's 7th page by now. :doah:

 

i try hard to be in church once a week. i go to church to learn more about God and what His will is for my life. i wont lie to you all... im a big fan of my God haha.

 

I go every week. I try to set an example for my kids, 9, 6 & 4yrs old.

 

I don't go to church, but I do believe there is a higher power out there as well. Church is just not my thing, but I absolutely have high respect for anybody who goes. Everyone I know who goes to church regularly is very dedicated and I think thats pretty cool.

 

Growing up I was forced to go, then the wife drug me along, now its like punishment. Expecialy with a hangover. I dont enjoy it, I only go to keep her off my back. I realise its the wrong reasons in all aspects, but you married guys understand... right?

I think the Church we go to is just not my kind of place. They all get dressed up in suits and ties. I show up in blue jeans and a t-shirt and they look at me like Im scum. Like anything I own will impress God.

 

I go one or two times per month as the schedule allows. I don't get all dressed up uber fancy, just a decent pair of pants and a reasonable pullover or button down shirt, basically same way I'd dress up to play a nice golf course. I'm not one who believes in dressing up more than that except weddings and funerals.

 

I wear shorts sandals and a T-shirt to church in the summer timewaytogo

 

I don't go to church on Sundays. However, the church up the street from my old house puts on a "making ends meet" dinner with with a sermon done by one of the pastors every Friday night that my Mom and I go to. We always get there early and volunteer to help out the crew that cooks the dinner and we stay after everyone else leaves and help with cleaning up the place.
