Why don't people go to church?
Is there any way that the church could become relevant in your life?
Answers:
I go to church and love it! We do lots of outreach work in the community, put on stuff for nothing like fun days, BBQ's etc. People need to be met where they're at, thats the only way it will be relevant. Churches need to find out what sort of people are in their localilty and then try to meet some of their needs. There's no point in preaching the Gospel without the actions to back it up.
church should give out free food
It simply isn't necessary for some people. More of a tradition than a necessity.
because it's sometimes boring.
What is the point if you are an unbeliever?
the church is filled with liars and fraud.
If the priests didn't put me to sleep, the seats weren't horribly uncomfortable, the church wasn't ever so cold and there was a bit of soul in the sermon, yeah sure! x
No because I don¸t need somebody else to pray and talk to God.And most of the priests are not without sins so why should I listen to their preaching when they do not follow it either?
Churches fall into two categories. They're either boring or too "happy-clappy". The services are too long, or too "feely" which makes me uncomfortable.
No, its boring and meaningless! I worship the pub
Some people believe that it is enough that they believe in God.. They believe also that in anyway, anywhere, they can communicate with God. So there's no need for them to go to church.
and for some, well it isn't their priority for the day..
Church, religion, irrelevant in my life. Especially Christianity.
The problem with church is all the stuff about God and Jesus. If they really want more people to go, they should drop all that and just have a big party. Or tell us something useful, like how to make more money.
It's simple: no more Jesus, no more God, and I'll go.
I find it utterly boring. and most priests look and sound like fools (my opinion).
I don't have time, I work all weekend.
i dun go to church cz i go to de mosque !
i dont belive in a god, i dont judge people who go to church but it just isnt what i belive in
Yes ! Kick out all the hypocrites . Tammy Faye Baker wants me to not even think about church.
Have you ever heard of the Jesuit Priests and how they brought Christianity to people around the world ? They raped and murdered so many innocent people.
And so on and so on and so on. How about the Priests that have been poking their dongs in little boys butts and getting away with it for years ? MMMM Not for me, thank you !
because they do not practice religion. chuuch is boring and they always talk about the same thing
i hate it u pray i don't belive in that stuff
A person does not need to go to church to be a christian. Church can be very boring to some people. You can read the bible at home. You can worship whoever you believe is your god at home. Why bother with temple, mosque, church!!
I beleive in god and the bibles teachings butnot church. I dont like the way it is run, it is like a business. I had to go a church a few weeks ago and it came across as a scam, they realy hit a nerve
Hypocrisy. I grew up in a strict household that strongly held religion on a pedestal and I saw way too many things that have made me turn away from the church. I havent turned away from God cause I still believe but I just choose not to attend something where people praise and worship their God and speak highly of their religion but then once away from the church lose all idea of what their beliefs stand for. Its like God said its not about what we do in front of others eyes but what we do behind or in private.
Its boring and not child friendly, cold and uninviting. It could become relevant, but the way it is now, is almost like a punishment as opposed to a spiritual experience.
most ppl dont believe in god, well i dont and no1 i know does either. no belief no need. all ppl need r morals, principals and respect.
I have been brought up to believe god is in your heart so you don't have to go to church to pray, but at this time I am more of a **** happens kind of person. And where is god when the world is messed up, he made it he should fix it. We could do with a few miracles!!!!!!!!!!!.
Choice I suppose, maybe a lot of people have seen how cruel the world has become and think god isn't listening anymore, though I personally don't think you have to go to church to believe in god or to pray to him, god is everywhere, its just considered polite and religious to attend church on the sabbath, there are so many houses of god for people to go to if they want to, but you can also bring god into your own home and pray to him their.
As a youngster I went to church all the time been bought up in a strict catholic back ground as I got older I just did not bother, just because I dont go does not mean I dont believe any more. I cant drive and it is far away and I cant walk or cycle as I have Arthritis, I would go more if I could.
yea the best way for the church and any other religious place to become relivent in my life would be if they all burned down and all religion was banned .. religion is man made and the biggest money making busness in the world .. if religion was banned then the world would be a happier place
Because people don't like being preached to and its usually boring.
They should make it more interesting, if adults find it boring, the next generation will not go either! How do you expect a kid to sit through a service?
I used to go often with my grandma before she passed away, i just don't feel right going on my own, non of my family are religious enough to go.
