How do you feel about people whom are Secular.
Do you think they should live in Fear ??? Should people Be punished for not attending a weekly worship. Or is it possible , that due to our 24 hour 7 - Day a week work week ( at least here in America ) and That Due to Capitalism and
A " Phenominal " economy .....We simply don't have time for ourselves , let alone God . ( Your Creator here ) Do you feel that God , has been pushed out of your life , by Societal , and work place Demands on you ???
I have been hearing how Christianity is " under attack " This is interesting to me , Because you can only be under " attack " if you allow yourself to be in such a position in the First Place. I would Love to hear any Feedback , which you Care to Share. A.

Why on earth should people be punished for not attending a weekly worship? After all - the so-called "free" western world (America, Europe etc) has it's reputation as a free world, because it is a democracy - and that means allowing other human beings the freedom to think for themselves, and act accordingly. If people want to go to Church, or worship in any way they choose - then fine - I have nothing against that - let them get on with it and good for them. I have no problem wth people going to Church, or Synagogue or Mosque, and worshipping as their conscience tells them to do. But if I have no belief in organised religion, and no wish to "worship", why should I be punished for thinking and making my own mind up about things?

No people shouldn't be punished for not attending church. Some people don't believe in God, and that's a right that people in America have.
Church isn't necessary to being a good Christian, but it is helpful. My husband and I are active in church, but some people aren't able to be. Some people work on weekends, and, like my parents, some people have farms that during certain times, they aren't able to leave. I think God understands that, and as long as you find your own way to worship, whether it be in church or not, I don't think He minds.
In reality, a lot of people who ARE at church weekly, have a poorer relationship with God than people who aren't able to attend church.

I, as well as my husband, both know that you should gather together and worship God. We both are still Christians, but haven't been to a church since my sisters wedding a few years back. We don't go to church anymore. One reason is that I'm a Catholic and he's a Baptist. 2 very different ways of worship and we still had problems with the political problems within our church, well mostly him. I see the hypocrisy within the Roman Catholic church and decided not to attend. Then there are our children. If I go to church, I'll go myself and since I'm a SAHM I need to take my children with me. As with that, I'll spend most of the mass outside. So the point is I won't be able to do anything.
So I just live my life well and as close to the bible as I can. I'll raise my children to do the same.
