View Full Version : Any Church/Temple/Mosque goers here?
First off, I'd like to ask that this doesn't become a religion bashing thread. It always amazes me that people will jump up and down and scream about racism and other politically incorrect categorizations, yet will feel no qualms about bashing and mocking those who hold their particular faith dear to themselves.
That being said, I'm just curious if any of the members here still regularly attend religious services of one form or another. I was born and raised Catholic and attended Catholic elementary and high school, yet haven't attended a mass in over 20 years aside from weddings and funerals.
I do, however, consider myself a somewhat spiritual person and have certain principles of morality that I will not compromise in my life. Whether or not it has anything to do with my Catholic upbringing I can't say.

<p>I was raised Born Again Protestant and actually went to 4 years of Catholic School. I credit Christianity with giving me my morals and ethics in life, but I stopped going to church a LONG time ago when I decided it was all society control and bullshit, not to start an argument.</p><p>Stopped when I was like 13 or so probably. Not quite sure why my mother just didn't force me to go back. She is still very religious. Glad she didn't though.</p>

here. I hold my faith and my beliefs very dear to me and I know that
there have been times in the past I wanted to mention them (in some
cases I have) and have just feared bashing and ridicule. Thank you Gvac
for starting a thread like this and hopefully the respect that we have
for you on here may reflect through this thread.</p><p>I think that came out right.</p><p>I
didn't go to church for years. Went to a Baptist church up until I was
11 or so then my Mom got this crazy idea to go to a radical
evangelistic Full Gospel church. Not that I am blaming them and that
church directly but the fact that I was a part of the nuclear family up
until we changed and then after my Mom found a dirty filthy scumbag to
cheat on my Father with not once but TWICE and the quality of some of
the easily led atomatons and drug addicts and just messed up people
there really got me questioning the church and organized religion. It
was more of a show there than it was worship. I really shouldn't judge
but it was kind of hard not to.</p><p>I have always had my faith and
belief in God (and how I swear he is with me every day in Spirit) and
in Christ dying for my sins. I just saw how messed up the whole
Organized Relgion was. How it all goes back to one thing (Father, Son
and Holy Ghost) and one Bible for the most part and how there was such
friction by some churches saying one was wrong and one was right. We
are more righteous than they are. Holier Than Thou! All of it!</p><p>I
just went with reading my devotional, Our Daily Bread in it's booklet
form for about 10 years and now online for the last 2. I even read that
as a kid and it got me through. Some lighthearted stuff and I really
trust those who write for it. They make sense to me too and I start off
every day with it.</p><p>Last year upon moving back home I became a
member at the UCC Church my Grandparents go to. Very traditional and I
love to sing the hymns. Granted they go a bit slow at times. Maybe it
is just my tendency to sing music fast. Becoming a member was a small
deal for me as well as I just wanted to go to church. I didn't see the
need in "joining" and having "member benefits" like having Offering
Envelopes and such. It wasn't all that big of a deal and joining hasn't
been that bad. It is nice going to church again on Sundays although I
would much rather go to the 9:30 service as opposed to 8:00. Too damn
early BUT it does get me home in time for The Three Stooges hour.<br />

<p>The churh I was raised in are Born Again Christians. They're actually not pushy about it, seeing that I stopped going to church one day and my family, for some odd reason never pressured me too heavily to go back.</p><p>They weren't really the pushy, "Here's a pamphlet" Christians. I guess they were lazy about their religion? Who knows. The old pastor to our church who was there when I was going is insane though. I think that his being SO rigid actually made some of the people in the church see how insane it was to be like him, and were a little more easy going.

Kind of on topic with what was discussed on today's show. Ron spoke of how he still feels a connection when he attends a Catholic Church (as he did this past weekend to attend Opie's wedding) and feels like something is missing in his life.
Anybody here still a regular churchgoer? If not, when you do attend for a wedding, funeral, first communion, whatever...do you still feel that little twinge?

If you were forced to go to the library every Thursday or 17 or 18 years of your life, and told it was "wrong" not to go to the library, to this day, you'd still feel a little twinge whenever you entered a library. That twinge is just memory, false guilt and you're not missing anything.

I attended 16 years of Catholic school K thorugh College was an altar boy (not assaulted by the priests) I was not scarred by my education or experience. My children attend/graduated from catholic schools and my daughter will attend a Catholic college,Boston College next year. My family and I attend mass every Sunday by choice.
Overall I can say that it has been a positive influence in my life. Sometimes when religion is so beaten up on the show it is dificult to listen to. Ron at least has a well thought out stance on organized religion. I don't agree with it but I appreciate that he has thought about it and doesn't just bash it. I am comfortable with my religion and don't feel the need to defend it nor dispute others. I do not claim to be pious in anyway.

I'm born again, as are my parents, brother, sister, extended family, and many friends. None of the people I know are pushy. We don't go door to door or even bring up our religion because of that very stereotype.
Its very interesting that this has come up today. The message at church yesterday was about how we are not the religion, but one of many in America.
Cultural Relativisim has changed the face of our nation forever. It is, along with preconceived notions about pushiness, why you, furtherman call me an ignorant dummy. The idea is there is no right or wrong anymore, just right for you. So someone claiming to know an absolute truth or know God's identify is a nut. You are correct in that. While God has reveled himself it is only in the tiniest little bit. Anyone who claims to know more is lying. Besides submitting to Jesus, the next most important tennant is to love your neighbor as your self. A true born again is stands out for being a giving helpful person, not a pushy bible thumper.
The only way you would know my parents are different is that they devote themselves to helping other people. They spend all they're free cash and vacation time doing various mission trips. Not building churches but feeding and clothing homeless and rebuilding disaster struck areas. They are also the most fulfilled people I have ever met. .

i get paid to sing at a christian church on sundays... and i really enjoy it. the money is just extra incentive to be there...
i was raised catholic and have veered away from such a rigid perspective on faith and worship... but i always feel more grounded when i regularly attend a service of some kind. somehow it gives me an hour or so to reflect beyond my own silly goings on and, in turn, it becomes easier to be more appreciative of everything around me.

[QUOTE=FUNKMAN;790921]<p>for me church is just a building... it's what's in your heart and mind that counts</p>
That's true and false. There truley is nothing special about the actual building but the "church" is the members in the building and God tells us to not forsake the assembling together. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian but it is a part of worshiping God. The good part of that statement is that it is what's in your heart that counts. The misconseption with a lot of people is that they confuse positive thoughts and good intentions with a relationship with God.
I grew up in Texas, lived in Albany, NY, and now in Mississippi so I have experienced the views on religion from different parts of the country. The main thing I have found is that in the south people "know" that Sundays are for church. Even if they don't go all the time, there is usually something convicting them to go. In the northeast, Sunday is just another weekend day. The positive thing about that is that the people who attend a church service in the northeast truely want to be there whereas a lot of people in the south attend church because they are supposed to. It was unbelievably hard for me to find a church to attend in Albany whereas churches in the south are on every corner.

Good for you joe!!! I commend you for sticking by your faith and for not letting anyone make you question your belief system and what has worked for you.
I wish people would respect everyone's right to believe what they wish, especially if it helps them live a better life, who are we to judge (although i'm guilty of judging). I always find non-religious people so quick to quip about the religious "fanatics" trying to influence them, yet they are guilty of the same thing when they question others beliefs in God or organized religion.
I would not consider myself a devout religious person by any stretch of the imagination. And whether I'd like to admit it or not, I do credit my Catholic upbringing for having some influence over my current beliefs. As I've stated in the past, I do respect all religions and spirituality.
I believe that some abstract belief system is inherent of being human, and I also believe that people align with one that has already been constructed rather than discovering their own. There is great value to searching your own spirit to find answers about yourself and your world while keeping religious tradition or beliefs aside.

Stopped going to church after I turned 18. I've been only a handful of times since, and the one thing that struck me is now unnatural a position the kneelers put your body into if you're not used to doing it every week. Absolutely murder on the back and shoulders.
I like that my gripe is the same years on.

I go to the Church of Christ every Sunday for worship, then on Wednesday nights for Bible study. I can quote the Bible like nobody's business!!!

I think it's the ink, or maybe the paper, or the leather binding......or maybe it's your sins you're smelling.:devil2:

I think when Gvac started this thread is the last time I went to church. I'm like Mojo...all about the faith and all against the politics, although he's Catholic and I'm Southern Baptist.
