I always notice very reduced activity on Sunday until the early afternoon and I wondered if it was the result of Church attendance or sleeping off Saturday night.
How many of you go to church on Sunday?
us heathens are here online, sunday or not.
I used to attend church regularly but got frustrated by not being able to ever round my family up in time to get there before the service had already started......now I find organized religion so uninformed, cliquish and distasteful that I can't be bothered.
What is this 'church' you speak of, and what is 'sunday'. That sounds vaguely Egyptian and pagan...
i like my sundae with a caramel sauce, mmmm.
Personally, I just tend to have more crap to do on the weekends, and it wasn't the beans, I swear.
I don't attend as often as I used to...and yes Bear, it is Cliquish.
I last regularly attended church at about the age of ten or eleven. I found the experience disillusioning instead of elevating.
Weddings...
...funerals....
....not all that much different!
I go to church regular. Do I get a star for attendance?

good place to pick up chicks....especailly chicks that are used to subjecting themelves to men....... :wink:
I don't believe in any organized church per se. If I have a need to speak with my creator, we usually do it one on one and it is not within the manmade walls of a defined church setting, listening to sermons and singing hymns. I go into nature...the beach, the forest, a mountaintop. I have never found a more fulfilling place to communicate.
don't go to church...I just take weekends off from the computer.

That is where I feel God the most too. I doubt the creator of all those things would prefer to be trapped inside a building all day. :wink:
Sunday mornings I roust out the lads and get them breakfasted. Then we head over to the assisted living facility where my mother lives. We get her down to the car, pack the wheelchair in the back, and go to St. Pat's for the 10:30 Mass.
My mother is only slightly less Catholic than the Pope and getting to church on Sunday is a big deal to her. The 10:30 is "family Mass" and she enjoys seeing all the little ones.
After that it's off to one of the local restaurants for lunch. The Lovely Bride is not into organized religion so she takes advantage of the time to sleep in and then have the house to herself for a while.
For the kids my rule has been, until Confirmation you come to church with the family. Then you're on your own.
