I've stopped going to church after I've realized that people in there are not all that worked up to be, let alone perfect, or pure, or innocent, or christianly, or godly at all. they are just people, regular people like any other human beings outside of the church. although I may have had high expectations, at least the people outside of the church are not as hypocritical by not proclaiming purity and christianliness while doing the far opposite.
what I'm saying is that people inside and outside of church are all the same. some good some bad. so there's no reason to go to church. i can worship and be spiritual anywhere, not necessarily in a church.

If Churches were perfect, then none of us could qualify to join.
Yes, there are a lot of hypocrites in the Church. Can you think of a better place for them to be?
Don't go to church to worship people, Go to church to worship God. If you see something in the church that you disagree with, speak out. If they ask you to leave, then it is probably a better thing to do.. I would not want to be associated with a group that I could not understand or with which I could not agree.
Obviously you have been to the wrong church. Don't give up, try another one. Christians really need the help and support of other Christians. The Bible says, forsake not the assembling of yourselves together. We all need to be under the teaching of God's word, by a man of God.
Christians are not perfect, Christians are forgiven.

Please read my answer all the way through to the END. I suppose that I am a strange person for feeling as I do,,,but to my way of thinking ALL SPORTS are simply a big waste of time and energy. I do not wish to participate in ANY of them nor do I enjoy watching them either live or televised. I would NEVER do anything to eradicate sports because I feel that sports are a GREAT and POWERFUL force of help and inspiration for MANY people. Sports participation as an athlete,,actually helps some people to have a good life that would not be available to them in any other way.Look at what I just wrote and use it as an ANALOGY for "THE CHURCH" and this is how I feel about "organized" religion. I agree with everything that you said. I am very happy that others do not all agree with you and me,,,,because church really makes a central and pivotal point for "good" in the lives of MANY people all around the world. Of course there are EXCEPTIONS,,,,such as those who would "slay the infidel". I am happy that churches exist but I no longer want to ATTEND any of them.

My recommendations are that I got here right here to respond to questions approximately Rock&Pop. this is not significant if it fairly is a query - "Does this photograph advise I even have genital warts??" is a valid question as properly. confident, the human beings right here answer. Do they care? I pretty doubt it. they might swear up and down that they do - oh confident - yet once you have been to vanish and under no circumstances answer back, no person might think of two times. Sorry, in simple terms the way it fairly is. no longer something against you - i'm specific an analogous could be pronounced for me. for the reason that i'm right here, i might as properly answer. you're a hundred% amazing. Sheepism is now inspired no longer in basic terms from infants and funds-making companies, yet from instructors and so forth as properly. immediately's society is ridiculous. a guy kidnaps a sprint boy and rapes him for years, is caught, is charged for SEVEN YEARS, and is released on parole after 5. What the f*ck? He did no longer even stay in detention center for the quantity of time that he held the newborn captive! adult males beat their better halves, mothers beat their babies, newborn maintaining amenities word and don't something - "properly confident, we visited once or twice. Yeah, the babies had bruises on them. confident, there became into no food interior the domicile. Um yep, there have been bugs all over the filthy domicile. Why? Oh, the infant died? Huh. Who'd have theory?" the subsequent decade or 2 shall tutor to be VERY thrilling.
