I want my kids to attend, I just don’t want to go with them! I usually daydream the entire sermon. Maybe if there was more wine at commmunion I’d be more in tune………

I hope it’s enough to just believe because that’s all I got! We don’t go to church every Sunday but we do check in several times a year.

I was not raised going to church ever and neither was my Hubby so we don’t make a big effort to go. My kids went to Christian preschools and they believe and we believe and we talk about it but that is about as far as it goes.

I understand where you are coming from, I was raised by God fearing parents who never attended church. At 18 I found a church with my sister and we attended, but never quite fit in. It’s been about 9 years since I’ve attended a church and like you, I hope there is no attendance record. Although if God is a forgiving, loving God like he’s supposed to be… I’m sure we are fine.

I was not raised in any church, all the ones I attended were because I asked my mom if I could go with my friends. I never felt like I fit in any of them. When I had my first son, I decided he should have some kind of base religion to go off of, so I semi-looked around. One night a work a nice young couple mentioned that they were Baha’is. The word stuck in my head and when I finally, a month later, got around to looking it up, I found that it was for me! It was almost everything I’d believed in on my own, in a religion. That was five years ago and I’m just now starting to actually start practicing the Faith. Not attending something that doesn’t feel right to you, probably won’t piss God off. Hope not anyway.

I’ll be right there with you hoping there’s not a score card. I was raised a lot like you were. I consider myself spiritual, but not overly religious.

I would have rather spent my youthful Sunday mornings watching Rocky and Bullwinkle. At the time, little did I realize, I would have gotten more out of them than some of the sermons I was forced to sit through.

If they do check church attendance records in Heaven I’m totally screwed. Glad to hear that I’ll know someone in Hell.

With “bible” churches showing up in every retail strip mall around here, I too have found myself listening to God on my own, versus enjoying the ritual of religion.

I’d like to think that I may speak to my Maker, and visa versa, whenever we both find the need and/or the desire.

P.S. I totally dig CBS Sunday Morning too, trumpets and all. It reminds me of my childhood and preparing for church – my father would always polish his shoes in front of the t.v. I always find it uplifting and positive – not things normally found through “news.”
