[alex95]

So my mom forces me to go to church every Sunday but i hate church so when i go i dont do anything i just sleep because for some reason thats all that is in me i just automatically drop a sleep because its so fucking boring and my mom gets mad at me i told her church is boring and i dont wana be forced to go to church but she doesn't care what should i tell her?

[JackOfClubs]

Mass is boring. But going to Church is part of being Christian. If you are atheist, or believe in a different faith, you could tell her that.

Think of it this way: she thinks your salvation is at stake. If you don't keep a strong relationship with Jesus, she thinks you'll go to Hell. Which is eternal suffering of the worst pain imaginable. Obviously, she doesn't want you to go to Hell. She's thinks she's doing the right thing and being a good parent, obviously.

Best bet in skipping out: tell her that church isn't the right thing for you and that strengthening your relationship with jesus outside of a church is a better option for you.

I assume you're religious and not atheist? If you're atheist... I wouldn't tell her. It might really scare and hurt her.

>atheist that goes to church groups<

[ChaoticHarmony]

i agree with Grinchilla, its best to not tell her ur atheist if you are...might not go over well.

my opinion is that she should understand that you can have a strong relationship with Jesus and God, without going to church. all church is is a place of worship. one can worship in their own home, doing what they believe will lead them to the Pearly Gates. one shouldnt need to go to a church to have a close relationshipt with God.

i can't say much though, bc i dont know what denomination you are...some are more strict than others.

my advice is to just have a serious talk with her about it. tell her what you truly feel. dont sound mad, sarcastic, or whiny; just tell her the truth.

hope all works out well :)

If you really believe in God, pray for help. He will help if you are sincere

[Fiending_the_freedom]

well if you feel you are mature enough to make that desicion, then try sitting you mom down,very calmly and maturly explain that you think you are old enough to make this desicion on your own and that you do love god and want to worship him your own way, tell her that maybe if she stops forcing you you might go on your own, nothing forced upon you if exactly making you interested.

my mom doesnt care lol but i will pray to god

[enzenzz]

If you love God, how come you do not obey his commandments? All he's asking is for you to spend an hour a week to give him thanks and celebrate his majesty.

Now, that aside. You might have a different concept of a god than your parents or even your religion. If that's the case you can either argue that with your mom and expect her to even force you to go even more and even get one on one time with your preacher because of your crisis in faith.

If you wanna avoid all that mess, you can just attend the mass, participate, learn to love it, that way you won't find it boring.

[ThatDude93]

Prayer is the key dude. Church can be boring I know what you mean. Especially the more stritct denominations, maybe you can sit down with your mom, and see if you can go to a different church. Maybe one your friends attend?

Also, if you really do love God, and believe, you might wanna stop the cussing. It doesn't do anyone any good. They are just words with bad meanings, they aren't very Christlike.

OMG DUDE I HAVE THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM

Things to do to keep you occupied in church:

1) Try to count the number of RPMS the ceiling fans have
2) Count the number of times the AC turns on
3) Count how many times someone coughs
4) Watch TV on your cell phone silently
5) BUBBLE BREAKER!

[Kale]

tell her you want to join the church of satan or become a muslim or something. that's what i'd do, but i have liberal parents.

you can just try to find flaws in the minister's speech/see if he messes up. that always made me laugh when i went to church. it's what you make of it, really.

[Sirricharic]

I hate going to church with a passion I really do so try to say something to get you kicked out like if someone asks you if you like it here straight up say no I would rather be falling off a bridge.

i agree with all of you but i cant do any of this my church has all my friends their but its the pastor i hate his guts he took down the basketball court,he says young people arent supose to come to church to enjoy themself,and the worst Mother fucking part is he says theres a demon in us telling us to do what we want

[Maverick]

I never liked church either but its only a few hours a day. Going to church isn't that bad. Your mom isn't likely to budge on the issue so just go and once you're grown and on your own then you can do things your way. Honestly its a lot better than just trying to fight a losing battle with your mom.

[maestro15]

I'm Jewish and raised by a very religious Jewish family (I'm a moderate jew fyi). One day, i told my grandfather (the most religious of the family) that i didn't want to go to synagogue. I was afraid he'd hit me or punish me, but instead he held my shoulder and said "my boy, you dont have to go with us. as long as you're a good person and you respect everyone, you'll be in god's eyes" with a new york accent. he smiled and went with the rest of the family. I just stayed with my nanny!

I know what you mean. I'm Christian but I'm not really a practicing Christian. I find church boring and I don't want to get involved in a youth group either, they sound weird, no offense. I usually just make plans every weekend so my mom doesn't have a chance to bring up the church issue. For example...
Mom: We're going to church Sunday
Me: Can't, I'm going to be out late the night before.
Etc.

[CrashingWaves]

You should not have to go to church to believe in a religion, or to practice a religion you do not believe in.

i know! i hate those stuff too but i cant go outside or anything my moms scarred lol

[thrust of trust]

i don't like going anymore cuz i think the people are a bit odd. i mean like the old people. they look at me like "he will do great things for the lord". im surrounded by superstitious old folk which i am creeped out by.

Remember, you must consider the time that seniors today were raised in. They were raised to be Catholic, everything against God was wrong, etc. etc. I actually find the elderly who go to Mass very religious folk and take great admiration in it because they are. And really, it's the only thing they have left. They aren't superstitious, rather religious. Would you call someone of a different religion, such as Judaism, superstitious? It's just a belief, nothing more or less.

fuck yeah man i hate that shit

[Sage]

Church is lame. You should be out and about, rabblerousing and taking part in other youthful shenanigans.

[Appleton]

my mom makes me go but I've been told by someone that if I go there's a good chance I'll burst into flames walking through the doors. I haven't really been getting anything out of it lately anyways. Too much going on I guess. But it's been a great place to text my baby. :D

You do realize that everything in my PREVIOUS post explains this? You need to think first. And don't give me that, "oh but its so annoying" or anything insulting about them. Superstition is completely different from having faith, in my opinion anyway. You DO realize that maybe they just fervently believe in what they were taught? Like you do with your beliefs?

[LingeringLove]

I'm a very religious Christian, I go to church every Sunday too, it's very boring, but I somtimes take a bible from a pew and start readin that, but somtimes I count random stuff, like babies in the service, pink dresses, etc.
What your pastor said about the demon in all of us, is wrong, Satan is trying to lead us into temptation, no demon in anyone, unless they are possesed. Lmao.
Sometimes, if the sermon seems interesting, I pay attention. If I'm desperate I'll tell my mum I hafta go to the washroom, then wander the halls for a few minutes and then go back in.
Hope that helped at least a bit xD

I agree with everything you said...I am also quite religious...in fact I wanna be a youth pastor...I just couldn't think of what to say on here...

I go to a church where we like to have fun...our pastor is very funny and he jokes around...he puts the Bible into everyday words...he is great. So I am usually paying attention during service....My youth pastor is really awesome though...he really keeps us interested.

well i know this may sound shitty but my sister does the same i guess its because your girls girls have more faith and trust in things i guess... :c

It's not just that. I've seen many men do the same thing. It's not a matter of having trust in things, it's all about the faith. If it's something your sister fervently believes in, then that is how she will treat it. Nothing more, nothing less I suppose.

true but i cant see my self crying for the lord in church........ i sleep in church..

[Sugaree]

Ah, now I see what you're getting at. The "crying for the Lord" is just awkward for everyone. But religion can move a person to do that,, just like a movie can make a person cry or even a book do the same. If you don't want to go to church, then fine don't. But just know that there will be a point in your life, and please don't pull this off as bullshit, where you will start to go back.
