there god, so you have to prove that you believe in it by having to worship in a holy place. Do you have to preform little rutials to please your god or can't you get into your verison of heaven by simply believing in it and just by doing good?

To help Mr. Mister
rituals: anything is meant as a physical symbolic gesture of worship to your god. Since I didn't quote a god although I did say church (but not chirstian jewish eetc etc ) his can be from spell for wiccians, praying and hymn singing for christians, jews etc to the odd animal sacriface for devil worshippers (although I do have to say that is illegal and in no way I'm I saying that you should do it)

I believe in God, I pray anywhere and everywhere.
I don't have to force myself to go to church every week to show that I believe in Him.
I think most people who go to church are just there to show off their new clothes and show it off to their church buddies.

You don't have to go to church to worship in fact you should worship God more than that. One should go to church for the support and fellowship you receive. Help each other pray and be there for one another, like a family! It will help you to be around people who love God and Jesus as you do, to build each other up.

we don't think we have to go to church to worship,we just prefer to because we are there for the same reason,we believe the same and we sing,and worship the Lord together and its a very uplifting,and cleansing thing that you wouldn't understand if you've never been saved and worshiped in a group,but you can worship just as much at home and I have many time's I read my Bible all the time, and listen to preaching while im doing this a lot,so no i don't have to go to church to worship i chose to do so.

When you get saved by the Grace of God, you have that desire to go to church. Read Hebrews 10:25. God wants us to go to church to worship Him. Church helps us to learn more about God, and the Bible. It is great to fellowship with your Brothers, and sisters is Christ, and it pleases the Lord.

I can answer that clearly.
THE DEVIL.
SATAN.
"EVIL".
A person feels guilty for being a human. When a man feels lust for a woman, its natural. My dad, who IS a christian...and this may help you more than my Satanist remarks...He always told me that people shouldnt even NEED church, if you have faith, you need to do it yourself. If you have faith you only need your self or your christian family to share it with you, not people supposedly in connection with christ. But really, its all because of guilt and stories. Satan is the church's best friend, as it has kept it in business all these years!
all in all, my dad told me that by simply believing in it, and doing....what...you do...that is by far better than church.

Well, the Bible talks about not forsaking the gathering. Sometimes you can gain things in groups that are lacking in individuals. This is why God gifted people differently, When they come together they can completely act as God intended. Read this book! it is free!

the people are the church not the building. we should meet together to praise God but it could be any where it tends to be in church builds as the are bigger and built for that purpose but meeting in a home or on the street is as relevant God does not care where we meet to praise him

Church is for fellowship not worship ( at least for the Christian)
