For example, if you don't really want to be there should you just stay home?

Sure, but God can make good come out of it anyway!
If you really don't want to be there you just might really need to be there! Church is a great place for sinners and all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God!
Just as the hospital is for sick people Church is for sinful people! It is great to go there to worship God, but please go even if you are not in the mood, you just might get in the mood!
God works all things for the good for those who love the Lord and come together according to His purpose. Romans 8:28

REASONS FOR NOT GOING TO CHURCH:
It is way too boring.
You cannot fart freely.
It's either too cold or too hot.
They don't sell popcorn.
They tell you the same bed-time story over and over.
There are no hot chicks, and when there are some, you can't make out with them.
Holy water is polluted.
Catholic churches display spooky and gory carved idols.
They preach the goods of being humble....but the priest is driving a Class A Mercedes Benz.
If you take a silent fart you will still be seating in your pew.
There's no room for questions and answers there.
You have to go by the book.
It's just boooooring.

An example of a wrong reason for attending Church would be to show off you new Armani dress or Gucci bag. You don't have to impress God; He reads the heart.

The ,if you really don"t want to be there?
I assure you "satan " will come up with all kinds of reasons not to,especially during the end,Don"t listen to him.We are told not to forsake the assyembling together with Believers and so much
the more as we see "That Day" approaching.Go when you feel
like it and when you don"t feel like it.It is called commitment.There are those around you that will be comming to you for answers as Everything is being Shaken.

Yes, most go to church because they feel an obligation to attend and don't feel in their heart to go. They look forward to the service ending and going home or some other activity. People should only go to church if they feel like it is an insult to God for people to go to his house if they don't want to.

Go only if you feel comfortable there. You may want to try others till you find one you are comfy with(if at all).
My dad always said, you can worship in the outhouse, you don't need church. I suspect this is true. If you want to pray and give thanks, you don't need a church to do it in. Some people feel they are not doing it properly if not in church. They have a lot to learn about religion I guess.
Church is a good place to LEARN about the bible and such, but........

Sure!
Prov 21:4
An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin. KJV
Every little thing done for the wrong reason is sin, everything done while walking in the spirit accomplishes God's purpose.
Isa 55:11
1 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
KJV

I am christian and if you go there just for appearance or because you are forced, maybe you should stay home but if you go there looking for the spirit and have an open heart, It is great.

The only good reason to go is to serve God. If youre not doing that, then youre missing the spiritual benefit and not serving in Gods Kingdom.

truthfully if you don't feel like going to church then you shouldn't go as that is something that is a decision that needs to be made by you and only you unless you are underage and have to follow your parents rules and guidelines otherwise if you are of age then you should go about doing things the way you seem fits appropiate as to how you feel about them
