NO. Church is a community and social organization.
I live in central Mississippi where Baptist churches are still segregated. Yes, still now, in the 21st century, white preachers have told me:
1. God is white.
2. God lets ****ers in heaven, but makes them white 'cause there ain't no ****ers in "their" heaven.
3. Blacks like the current arrangement (segregated churches) and that all are better off for it.
The black churches are identified as "Missionary Baptist" so the white folk don't make any mistakes.
Blacks are not even accepted at funeral, wedding, or christenings. In my minds eye, I can see the spirits of cloaked clansmen plotting and carrying out lynchings from the pews.
No, church is just for community, Prayer is and should be a personal thing.

New insurance for church goers. It's called Faith Guard (Iowa). Anyone can get this insurance, but the benefits are based on church activity attendance. Example: deductible waved if accident happened on the way to or from church.
Check it out.

No, its an absolute waste of time... and even if you are a Christian you should not attend church. The Bible states quite clearly that prayer is something to be done in private.

Yes, I do. On Tuesdays We have Cell Meeting at my home and in church on Thursdays and Sundays. Fellowship with the members of the house is great.

I am Catholic...I attend Sunday Mass EVERY SUnday ( sometimes twice- I run religious ed at our parish and also attend the youth Mass at a neighboring parish.)
I also attend Daily Mass at least 4 days a week in addition to Sunday.
Is that regular enough?

Yes, well used to. My in-law just died and my husband is a little down kinda upset. But yes, we usually went every Sunday sometimes Fridays or Wednesdays. We go to a Christian church, and my husband used to play the accordion. He played sort of Tejano Christian music. You might think it is odd, but it is very nice.
We all need to go to church and look forward to praise the Lord. We all need prayer.
God Bless ;)

I do not attend church because they try to tell you where you can talk to God even though He is everywhere. I believe that when I need God, he's there, because he's helped me out lots before when I talk to him in my heart.

I do not, because to do so might cause confusion within my soul. I follow only the teachings of Jesus, and ignore all man-made rules and festivities of churches. I do so the way He instructed me to worship--in private.

No. I see no reason to have to pay to pray. Plus I think praying from the heart is more meaningful than just mindlessly reciting like a robot.
