2. Do you attend church? What denomination?
3. How did you come to believe in God and attend Church?
4. Do your parents attend church? What denomination?

Thank you for answering! Have a nice day!!

Answer 1

1) Yes
2) No, I don't. I don't follow any particular organised religion.
3) I was an atheist from the age of about 8. After some study of various religious beliefs... it all just kind of clicked. I don't attend any church.
4) No. Mosque very occasionally. They're very liberal Muslims.

Answer 2

1. YES
2. I beleive the denomination thing is crap and every since King James's time "men" have been taking and putting into the holy Bible. The Bible says you can have church with two or more people, you can talk to God at anytime, I beleive going to church is a thing you do (worship, praise) not a place you go.
3. I was brought up in a Primitive Baptist Church, I also attended LDS to get another point of view. I researched other religions as well that had nothing to do with christianity. I was saved at age 8 but went off the deep end while I was growing up.....Started to become more religious after I went to a concert and the Lord spoke to me in my heart and so I changed my life around real fast to say the least.
4. My dad didnt ever go , my mom was baptist

Answer 3

1) absolutely yes
2) yes, to be honest, southern baptist, however, I believe there are other denominations that are correct, it's just that some traditions and few beliefs are different
3) I became a Christian when I was young, I trusted Jesus to be my Savior and Lord and I learned this through the Bible taught to me in church and by my parents. Also God has brought me back to him through out my life when I've gotten mixed up, so without God, obviously I would not be "saved"
4)Yes, my parents attend the same church I do, however, I am not going because I grew up there or because they go there, I am going because I have found God during my life, and my parents have not had to force me to come, I want to know God and have a personal relationship with him and I have grown to love and respect the church (the group of people, not the building) like my own family.

Answer 4

1) Yes, I do.
2) I generally attend a non-denominational church, though it has been several months since I have been able to go reliably, as my wife and I now have young twins.
3) I was brought up going to church every Sunday. This is where I began to believe in God, and built in me the habit of attending church religiously (pun intended, LOL)
4) Yes, my parents attend a non-denominational church.

Answer 5

1. Do you believe in God? Yes, but not in the capacity most people do. I believe GOD is within us, and is a part of the universe that is not explainable.
2. Do you attend church?NO What denomination?I was born into the Catholic Religion, and was forced by my parents to attend every Sunday. Even at an early age I didn't understand why you HAD to go to church to appease God. Why would he ask that of anyone. He is within us, and not in the church that was made t collect money and control people
3. How did you come to believe in God and attend Church? My beliefs are from my own inner feeling and faith. I dont believe in Religion. I bleieve it can help people that need something to help them, but I dont believe God wants you to go every Sunday, and give money you dont have to get his okay to enter heaven. That is a crock.
4. Do your parents attend church? What denomination? Yes, Catholic,

Answer 6

1. Do you believe in God? I believe god is a possibility, i dont believe in religion, and i dont believe the concept of god can be proven or disproven.

2. Do you attend church? What denomination? no

3. How did you come to believe in God and attend Church? when i was 5 i went to a christian school, i was told that if i died tomorrow and didnt accept jesus i would suffer forever and ever in the after life. when ur five that can scare u a lot.

4. Do your parents attend church? What denomination?
no, they are agnostic.

Answer 7

1) I am an agnostic with a tendency more toward atheism than theism.
2) I do not attend church, although I attended the Congregational Christian Church (currently the United Church of Christ) during my formative years.
3) I came to question the existence of god, oddly enough, in church.
4) My parents are deceased, but my father was probably an agnostic and did not attend church, while my mother, in her childhood, was a member of a Friends' Church (Quaker) and, in adulthood, attended the Congregational Church (above) and later a Methodist Church.

Answer 8

1. No.
2. Yes. I attend a Unitarian Universalist church, and occasionally an Episcopal church.
3. I don't believe, but I have always enjoyed the company of people of faith.
4. My mother attends an Episcopal church.

Answer 10

1. Yes, without question I believe in God.

2. I do attend Church on occassion but, faith/belief is not about an organized group or a building but, about the Word of God, the BIBLE

3. I grew up going, but fell out when I grew up and life experience brought me to my knees and my faith. Everyone is searching for something in thier life and the something is GOD.

4. Father didn't, mother did...she was and is a Jehova's Witness.

Hope your paper goes well.
