Answer 2

Well, all the church services i've been to were all only about an hour long. That's 1 hour a week, 52 weeks in a year..... so that's 52 hours a year.... The average person lives between 70 to 85 years old so that's between 3640 to 4420 hours in a lifetime. Not including those special holidays that require them to go to church for an extra day..... i.e. ash wednesday, christmas masses.... and things like that.

Answer 3

My church services last three hours. So if I do three hours once a week, over the course of a year, that's
3X52=156 hours/year
Consider that over a 77-year life span:
156 hours/year * 77 years = approximately 12,012 hours in church in a lifetime

This sounds like a lot, but considering that a 77-year life has this many hours:
24 hours/day * 365 days/year * 77 years = 674,520 hours

That means the time spent in church is:
12,012/674,520 = .0178 or 1.8% of a lifetime.

Not much of a sacrifice for the benefits, I'd say.

Answer 4

If the average life span is 70 years and the average church service is an hour and a half, a person would spend about 5500 hrs=685days=2yrs. To put that in perspective if the average person lives 70 years and watches an average of one hour of television a day, he would spend about 25500hrs=3200days=9yrs.

Answer 5

Aprox 140 days, as compaired with aprox 29,000 days in your entire life (assuming you live 80 years and go to church every Sunday for 3 hours).

Answer 6

1-3 hours a week, 52 weeks a year, for an average of 14-16 years. After than, most people stop paying for their "faith" and stop wasting their time in church.
You do the math

Answer 7

there are 52 weeks per year. that's approximately 52 hours yearly (giver or take 30 min)

the average American now lives to be 78 years old, that's 78x52= 4056 hours divided by 24 = 169 days

add another 85 days if you go to sunday school, or want to calculate 1.5 hours instead of just 1 hour.

Answer 8

The time is Pericles! It dos not mater how much time is consumed if you go to church every Sunday?

Answer 9

Assuming Average age is 76
Assuming Average service including getting ready and driving is about 2 hours

76 * 54 * 2 = 8,208 hours

Answer 10

Services I attended years ago lasted 3 hours on Sunday, so that is 156 hours a year. if one lives 70 years, that is 10,920 hours wasted and much money spent for phony tickets to heaven that is boring and depressing.
