Why I Hate Going to Church

In about 30 minutes the sermon's going to start, but I don't want to go. I mean like, I have the right to! I'm not Christian! I'm a free thinker who can worship anything I want to!

But my parents force me to go to church even though I just sit there doing absolutely nothing for about 2 entire hours. It's not that the people aren't nice or what, it's just that I find the belief of Christianity somehow very... Stupid.

No offence, Christians.

But to me it feels quite lame. They're always talking about how God made us in his likeliness and how he loves us all, et cetera. (And by the way, calling God a him is already being prejudiced.)

Yet what happens? Just because one single Jew doesn't believe in Jesus Christ, all other Jews are hated. And if they were correct and Jesus really revived from the cross, then there's no harm done! Even if the intention's there. And so, thanks to one simple action like that, when it's not even determined if Jesus is really God's son or whatsoever, what happens? Mad people like Hitler try to wipe out the whole population of Jews and tries to prove that Christianity is best.

That is pure narrow-mindedness. So what if he practices Buddhism, everyone's equal, you might think Catholic is better but that's how the Buddhists think, and you respect that. If God really made all humans to be equal, then why are some religions much worse than others?

And according to all I have heard in church, which is almost nothing but who cares, God says that people who don't believe in him will not get to go to Heaven or something. That's idiotic, really. It means that even if you're an innocent virgin who is well-rounded and loved by everyone, if you don't believe in Christianity you will go to Hell because you're bad.

Doesn't make sense, does it.

And despite everything they've said, in the end it sounds more like God wants us to lick his boots. They have parts where you just sing worship songs, but the lyrics always have something about humans willingly becoming the slave of God, to put it bluntly. And how we will promise to do everything God tells us to, because he's our master, we're the dog and we don't mind murdering Jews just because God told us to do as he commanded.

Something similar may be in other religions, but this post is mainly concentrated on Christianity. Maybe Christians out there will protest against me, but I'm sorry, this is the way I feel and you do anything about it. This dislike for Christianity is somehow rather natural, so even if I do believe in all that I still wouldn't be able to bring myself to like it.

Besides, the part where they sing worship songs sounds a lot like a punk rock concert. It's more like they're taking advantage of the church to show off their amazing singing skills, or whatever skills they have. Which I hate, because even if I don't like Christianity I still feel that they should respect the usage of instruments and respect the church.

And the only thing I really want to do in the church is to play with their instruments, but they only give us lame games rather than the instruments to try.

Sayon.
