Re: Church
I was raised by my very Victorian grandmother and had to go to the Methodist Chapel three times on Sundays and youth group in the week. At the age of 16 I decided to change to a chapel in the nearby town. I did go on occasional Sundays, but other times I would get the bus in, go to the cinema for a couple of hours and then catch my normal bus back home.Re: Church

HmmmmmmRe: Church
I did go to church in my younger days, even went to a RC school, then I grew up, I became an atheist, which was a painful time but in the end very liberating. I no longer looked over my shoulder worrying that maybe a god (lower case g is deliberate) was looking on disapprovingly at my every action or inaction. I would recommend the experience to everyoneRe: Church
Re: Church
I go at Christmas and Easter and for weddings and funerals. I go through phases when I am more religious and go to just sit in the church at lunchtime, or I light a candle for people who are sick. My upbringing was immersed in Christianity. But not in a bad way necessarily. I envy those who have a strong faith because it gives them strength and they seem happier and with more of a purpose in life. There's a sense of community there which is really comforting and an unconditional support network that doesn't exist elsewhere.Re: Church
My father was a searcher so we went through every religion there was the Roman catholics, JW's , mormons Buddists and many many more came visiting and left us their message.
