Some have argued that the biblical Church Age has ended and that is the reason church attendance is dropping. The argument is that Satan has now entered the final tribulation era and actually rules the churches. Further, Christians are urged to come out of the churches for the church is now an apotasy.
For more on this controversial argument see:

Well,
What better way to meet new people than through the internet.
Of course, if you are the religious type, keep going to the church and let them beg you for more money. This seems to be that that is all that is important to them any more. Give me your money.
Not that I will help you in your time of need. But I have these bills I have to keep up with. And I want to buy some new clothes and other items that I must have. Oh! By the way, thank you for being such a trusted servant to the Lord. He will bless you greatly for you sufferings, while I live in the Luxuries provided to me from your giving.
So should you ever find yourself in need, just go ask your church to offer a lending hand (money, that is). And then keep asking and see how much of that tithe you will receive back as a blessing from those who it was offered to.

Sometimes christians get struggle and get lazy with our faith were only human beings to. I know personally I get pulled into society caring about my make up, my hair, and doing things to satisty myself rather than follow Jesus and God. Sometimes it's really hard being a teenage Christian as a believer there are certain rules and scripture beliefs I follow I often feel torn between how our society is and how much our sufferning world needs to here the message of the love of God. Today for exaple I'm staying home from church to sleep in I would helping to plain a youth worship service today. When I find it hard and find my belief dwindling I try reminding myself that it's my only true answer and solution to all the why's in our world without it nothing would make sense I wouldn't have anything in this life.

You'll find that religious people without that much faith will try like hell to get others to believe...If they had a true relationship with their Creator they'd leave folks alone.
But I'm not sure why these crazy kids aren't in church right now...But I can assure you they believe they're doing the "Lord's good work" by speaking out against atheists, evolution and people in general making fun of God on this site.
All this does is make people not believe in God...Any thinking person would avoid church altogether...But if I were the Devil, that's how I'd like things to be.

Oh think in their minds going on the internet wittenessing for their "lord" is do good works. Some of them probably study their bibles at home along with the TV set.
This reminds me of all the fundies on Amazon.com posting complaints because Amazon was having a sale on Sunday. I remember saying to them, well if it's Sunday, what are you doing on here?

I can go to church at 8:30 am and be out by 9:30am. I'm in between churchs right now trying to find one to go to that I feel I belong to. I guess I felt like I could come on here and find some people to relate to that I normally might find in church.

1. there is church on other days, so that people who might have to work on sundays can go to church aswell etc.
2. There are usually two cervices, one in the morning and one in the evening.
3. Church is just a few hours.
4. Chistians dont only worship God when they go to church but through their whole life. Church is just where all of us get to gether for support, sharing and so on. We aslo have friends and family in church with whom we worship God. Makes our bond with God even stronger. It is not essential to go to church, but is a favourable.

Why do you feel the need to put us all in your own little stereotypical box? Some Christians are online some aren't. Also, you say the Christian population shoots up. How would you know unless you are watching each and every Christian at their house???

The truth of the matter is that most Churches today are preaching either an extremely watered down version of Christianity or they are preaching nothing but tithes.
The truth of the Gospel has been compromised in many Churches.

I try to go to church EVERY Sunday(unless i'm sick). I love being at church, i feel really out of it if i dont go.
I also attend church on Tuesday(an hour and a half) night and Friday night(3hours).
Church is not only where i go to praise and worship, it's where i go to find comfort, to learn and to enjoy all my friends in Christ.
God bless.
