I don't like church b/c I want to think for myself and use my own judgement on the meaning of the bible.

But other people have different opinions of course. So do anyone that is in any religion, do you think it's necessary to go to church (or whatever it is in your religion. I'm not speaking to just christians)

I want you inside me.

we weren't doing anything out of the ordinary, he just had his arm around me. for pete's sake, my dad used to put his arm around me at church.. it was so retarded. i just think nothing in church is what it's supposed to be. i go to bible study at my family friend's house and we study the bible and prophecies etc. and it's alot of fun cause we've known eachother for about 8 years, so we joke the whole time and everything. but this way we're gathering under God, without all the drama and such.

woah that was long... :D

I'm christian, but I don't go to church. I hate them. To me, organized religion with one guy up front trying to tell you what to do and how to act and such is just not good for any religion.

You just might break through

Why do you ask? I believe in God. I believe that Jesus is the son of God. Among other things. Although I don't believe the bible word for word. The bible shouldn't be taken too literally.

Fair enough to people who genuinely want to be dedicated to God and honestly follow their interpretation of the Bible, without going to church, but I just think there's a fine line between that and people who call themselves Christians but then cherrypick so much simply for convenience. It's just the people that go "I'm Christian but I don't go to church and I don't mind drinking or sex before marriage or using the Lord's name in vain or strictly adhering to too many principles because that's not my interpretation of the Bible" a.k.a "I want to be called a Christian but I'm too uncommitted and lazy to actually practice the principles of what I call my religion."
