Please don't move this to P&R. I am just taking an informal G.D. poll on who here attends a place of religious fellowship. Interested in finding out our backgrounds. Lets not turn this into a heated debate. Just tell me what church you go to and your denomination (faith)! Thanks, I'll start.

Mass every Sunday either 8 A.M. or 9:30 P.M. Catholic
Mens Bible Fellowship either Monday mornings at 5 in the A.M. (during football season) or Thursdays at 7 in the P.M. (rest of the year) Non Denominational men from all different backgrounds get together to read a few verses, pray for one another, and share whats bothering us. Thanks.

Once a year for a special ceremony I go with my mom to temple. She is Buddhist.

I'm Roman Catholic. I go to mass every Sunday at 11:15 AM.

i've been known to attend a universalist unitarian service now and again. it's a nice recharge for the soul.

I have no religion.

Right on you are welcome on this thread!~

I was raised as a Roman Catholic but I go to church only when a friend gets married.

Churches make me sleepy.

I go to church for weddings and funerals. That's it.

They make you hyper-hyper? Oh, I'd like to see that.
I do giggle sometimes when the old ladies start to sing, though.

Once, me and my friend (not much of a believer either) wanted to attend our mutual friend's wedding wearing this:



Well, what?

Swans are so romantic.

It's more of a cross between immense irritation, agitation and frustration.

I love the swan outfit. It's very Bjork.

Justin1972UK said:

I get that too sometimes. I hate those uncomfortable seats they in churches.

But seriously, why even bother going if it makes you feel so bad?

rushing07 said:

I don't! I only attend funerals these days.

I don't.

Not me.

from my familial heritage i'm a religous mix of jewish-catholic-baptist (if that makes any sense) , but converted in adulthood to unitarianism. since i'm a foreign expatriate now i no longer have a church to attend (in my english native language) so i depend on independent study, and online theology classes

sometimes..i'm forced to go by my mom who is invited a few times a year by her cousin...i hardly go though...makes me nervous and bored.

The last time I attended a service the pastor talked about politics...

let's just say I will not go back to that large Christian church again.

Catholic here too - I go to church once a week. Usually every Sunday at 10:30 mass.

Lutheran....I love being at church, it's a great affirmation of love and forgiveness...but if I wasn't taking the kids to Sunday School every sunday I'm not sure I'd ever get off my ass to be there. Plus my wife grew up in a fairly negative Catholic atmosphere so she can hardly be dragged into the building

Christian-Church.

I'm A.M.E. (African Methodist Episcopal).
I go every Sunday! I like going to church....

My parents weren't overly religious, so I didn't grow up strong in any particular faith. However, they had the general belief in God and Jesus as the Saviour so I guess you could say I had general Christian teachings. Now, I am Methodist. My father-in-law is a Methodist minister, so I don't really have a choice.

I wish christianity had opted for buddhist-style temples because they're so much more cozy and welcoming than the dark and eerie churches we have around here. Either way I don't need a building to keep my faith in God. It might be nice to go every now and then, for example if there's a Christmas concert on, but that's pretty much it. Me not subscribing to any specific religion plays a part in it too of course.

Dont have one here!

i do, religiously.

I don't get to go to Anfield nearly as much as I'd like.




But seriously, we just pop down the temple on a whim every few months or so. It's more just to observe people than anything else.

Catholic...Saturday or Sunday mass

I used to go every sunday. Baptist. I haven't been to church in years. Gave up on religion.
