Why some Church goers don't question the Religion in terms of the things they do in church?

Asked by joscketSeper (323points) April 25th, 2010

I use to go to church just because I grew up with it. Just going through the motions.

Now that i’m early 30’s. I still go from time to time( not every sunday) but I sometimes feel like the priest is taking advantage of us. It seems like the religion wants to hypnotize us to do what they want.

Like why should i stay and listen to boring music. I mean, there are some churches that do exciting stuff or musical stuff. But the church i go to is pretty boring and the musicians many times are not good and they don’t even seem excited about it.

Another thing is I have ear problems, they insist on having loud amplified sound with and loud microphones for speaking. Why should i damage myself more just for them? I even wrote to the church and they ignored me.

Some churches just read the gospel and it’s the same thing everyday. And many of the priest that read the thing are pretty boring. The after commentary is something they just write and it’s like they are reading it.

Also, Confesion. Many church goers never question why they shouuld even tell their secrets to the priest. The priest is just another person, he’s not godly. I used to go to confesion but no i don’t see the point, i just tell it to god myself.

Anyways,
believing in god is good but is Church really necessary? Is it just something people do in order to fit in with the rest?
