Going to church

[Hongkongphooey]

Does anyone on here attend church on a regular basis? Been thinking of going for the last couple of days,however I've a really shit singing voice and don't want the congregation to take this piss.

the lad I'm best man for had to start going so he could get married in the church his mrs wants. he'd not been in a years and at the end of the service people started talking to each other and shaking hands. he panicked and said to the guy next to him "pleased to meet you"

I like it. You sing songs, here stories and get cash from a tin every week. Plus it finishes just in time for the pub opening. Handy!

I'm not particularly religious, but I've never minded going for weddings, baptisms, etc.

I like the idea of community that places of worship seem to foster-- you gather with like-minded people, sing a few songs, and have a cuppa after. Like going to the footie, but less swearing.

Is it easy to be a vicar

You should go if you're curious. Might turn out bad, but then again it might not. Like anything in life, won't know if you don't try.

 

[Some Random Guy]

I go when I'm obliged to or there is the promise of a decent piss-up

It's a bit like the footy. No one really gives a fuck but we'd all take the piss (in private) out of the lad who used to sit behind us at the SOL because he couldn't even clap in time, nevermind sing in tune.

I've never been to any kind of church service in my life. I quite like having a nose about the buildings when there's nowt going on, but I've got no interest in any of the stuff that happens in there.

Looks like we have a homophobe here, lads.

It does interest me that Cameron is saying "We're a Christian country" when the vast majority of people don't go to church.

The 2011 census found 59% of people in England and Wales said they were Christians - down from 72% a decade earlier.

As my mother-in-law to be would say, she knows lots of people who claim to be Christian but wouldn't give you their last 10p

I think that's a bit sad. Not in a "you're a saddo" kind of way, in an "awww bless" kind of way. You should give it a try.

You managed to avoid weddings, christenings and funerals too? Since you were born?

It's not less people being Christians, just we've been flooded by the muzzies man

Really, we'll still be a Christian country so long as we have a monarch performing the duties of Head of State and Head of the CoE.

You don't have to attend church to be a christian.

Figures from the British Social Attitudes Survey found that only about 15% of people actually go to church once a month.

This. And you don't have to be a Christian to attend church.

Aww. You sound scared of them! Grow up.

They practice their faith. Does that scare you?
When did you last go to church or pray?

Would you actually class yourself as a practicing christian?

No thanks . It's not as if I don't know what it involves. I've seen Songs of Praise.
