..some of the stuff got me thinking.. The name of the book is 'Hello Mister God, This is Anna' and here is a bit of the book:
The whole business of adults going to church filled Anna with suspicion. The idea of collective worship went against her idea of private conversations with Mister God. As for going to church to meet Mister God, that was preposterous. After all, if Mister God wasn't everywhere, he wasn't anywhere. For her, the church-going and 'Mister God' talks had no necessary connection. For her the whole thing was transparently simple. You went to church to get the message when you were very little. Once you had got it, you went out and did something about it. Keeping on going to church was because you hadn't got the message, or didn't understand it, or it was 'just for swank.'
So then, why do people go to church? If you already believe and love and you take the time to pray at home, isn't that enough? And like Anna said, if God isn't everywhere, then he isn't anywhere right?
