God
I went to a church today. One of very few times I've ever gone to a church. Not cause I don't believe. I'm just secure enough in my belief and love of God that I don't need to go to church to show that, not that I'm criticizing anyone who does attend. It's just not for me.
And the particular chuch I went to was nice enough, beautiful enough. But as nice and beautiful as it was... I had to force myself not to walk out in the middle of the service.
I wonder if I'm a unique case. It just felt so... polluted. Commercialized. It unnerved me. I was just... disgusted. I don't know.
But I stayed, cause of my cousin. That's the only reason I went. His death was being honored, and I love him very much.
When I got in the car with my mom, I said ''Don't ever ask me to do that I again. I did it for him.''
Not for Him. No, I love God my own way, not through some polluted, over-crowded church. I felt ashamed that my cousin was being honored there.
I'm not sure what I'm confessing here. Maybe just confessing an experience that I can't really share with anyone else.
Forget about churches, the bigger question is...
Why do you need an imaginary friend to tell you right from wrong?
GOD IS NOT REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel kinda the same about churches. I feel sad knowing that when I put my money in the collection plate, instead of going to those less fortunate (who really need it ), the first cut is taken by the pastor/preacher, and then of course we have to upgrade our church by remodeling it to make it look better than all the other churches. ** that! I say, instead of going to church to worship God, go do something meaningful in your own community. . .serve God that way! I bet he is looking down at these corrupt churches and shaking his head. The people who help others are the ones with a shoo-in to heaven!
^you sound like Big Brother ahahaha. If you don't know what I'm talking about, read George Orwell's ''1984''. I'm sure you'd enjoy it.
Hear, hear. But don't be too harsh on the people who choose to gather in a church every Sunday either. If it works for them, cool. I do agree with you though that it's not for everyone. And don't worry about where your cousin was being honored, the important thing is that you remember him your way.
i feel the same way. church is a redundant& out-dated ritual. i think God would much rather have us spending that hour out helping people than worshipping his humble **.
