I went to Christian church EVERY sunday growing up with my parents. I do not go now. I feel that i leared ALOT durring that time, and for me to go now it wouldnt be to learn, it would just be for fellowship and at this time i dont feel the need for that fellowship.

I used to go, but I saw hipocracy and lies. I saw that the bible is contradictory and the laws out of date.
I understood Moses reasons for writing the 10 commandments but also saw that there is no need for some of them today and felt that tblindly following a 2000 year old book does not make sense
I saw that the main tenets of the religion were stolen from other religions (there are many versions of the resurrection)

In my country, the church (catholic) can be bribed and was; all through our fight for freedom from the british empire.
There is a greed evident so plainly.
Look at the wealth of the church..... and all the people in need of saving.... its disgusting..
Anyway... there isnt supposed to be an institution between god and man..
For me to attend church again.. the above would have to change.. and if a priest wants to try explain the bible .. ok.. but cut out the preaching of damnation!

Sick of them asking for more and more money from hardworking people. Sick of them scolding the congregation for not being "more involved" when people are tired from their jobs all week unlike the preacher who isn't tired. Sick of them not taking an active interest in their flock, hypocrites, it's their job, I had a friend who went to an AOG chrurch for 8 years faithfully and then her back went out and she couldn't move, of course she couldn't go to church, the next time she heard from anyone from her church was almost a year later when someone called her because they needed a sunday school teacher, hypocrites. I'll never go back. Neither will my friend.

I did go before but every time l go there, l had to donor money in the middle of praying. l feel l was forced psychologically and not at my own will to donate to the church. Do church making money over praying? then they are doing something against to the teaching of Jesus.
l would go back to church when they really follow the teaching of Jesus.

Well, proof in God would be one thing. And then all of the hate-filled fundamentalists would have to be kicked out aswell. It's those that really drive me away from and religion.
I just kind of drifted away from the whole thing and the facist morons that say they are 'devoted believers' just drove me further

I found it to be an unhealthy mental and physical pastime, filled with lies, hipocracy, crontradiction, greed, lack of truth and knowledge, and I will not return.

Steal money from the poor, while they are getting rich.... so much about having modest life
They say what we supposed to do while they don't do
Outdated
Doesn't make any sense
They don't have any proof
And the worst one ........ they blackmail by make us guilty ( e.g. if you do that you will go to hell wtf? ) I think I'm going to go to hell, I just swore :)
