Church Go-er.
I'm not big into church, I believe in God, but I can't stand going to church. I get bored out of my mind, and idk I just don't like going at all. I hate youth group too, everythings lame, and theres two girls there that are even close to my age, and I hate em both. My moms always trying to get me to go to church with her, but IDK how to tell her I don't like it at all!

Want to answer more questions in the Miscellaneous category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Spirituality?
Well first off, going to a house of worship, i.e. church....etc, is a way to be closer to God. it is a holy place and you should feel honored to be there, but just be straight with your mom. maybe if you learn and understand your religion more, you will enjoy going to church.

If your bored at that Church, why not try another one? You might be surprised at what you find. There might be a Church out there that you like better than the one your in now. Who knows?
I don't know if your youth group is anything like mine [but by the sounds of it, it's not.. because mine is not "lame" at all], but maybe you should find a youth group with a good pastor. A pastor who actually gets involved with the teens in the group. Our youth pastor gets involved [we have teen explosions (which are basically where a few other youth groups come and we worship God and we do dramas)& outings (girls night out, which his wife takes us on.. and boys night out, which he goes with the boys.. plus, concerts and youth conferences)], plus he's there whenever you need help. Some people don't think it's good for a youth pastor to get so involved with their teens, but i love it. I don't know what i would do without him & his wife. So, maybe you should look for that in a youth group.
& about the "hating the two girls".. keep this scripture in mind [it always helps me].
Luke 6:27-28 says;;
"But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you."

I know what you are saying. I belive in god but I dont go either. I dont see how someone can do something bad on saturday go to church on sunday ask him to forgive them and then turn around and do it again on monday. Its stupid. Tell your mom that you belive in god and all but church is not your thing tell her she should respect your choices I dont know your age or anything but it sounds like to me that you are old enought to make your own decisions. Just tell her that yall have to have a truthful and serious talk. Tell her straight up what you want to say.
Good luck.

AHHHH i knew i wasnt the only one who was creeped out/wierded out by church!!! well my suggestion is juss straight up tell your parents that you dont like going to church, but be sure to give them reasons too. tell them that you do believe in a higher being, but that you dont feel the need to express your belief by going to church. remember, no one can tell you what your religion is except you, church should be a choice, not a requirement. if you ask me, it feels a little cultish, but hey, we cant all have piety. good luck with your parents!

tell her that THAT particular church doesnt interest you. let her know that youre willing to actually go to church- but that you wish you both could find one that you enjoy. hope i helped!- good luck!

You'd think youth group would be a little more fun, but I guess not. Well maybe it's just THAT church. Can you look around your area and try out different churches and see if you like any of them? Or go with some friends from school to their churches and check those out.
But if your dead-set on not wanting to go to church at all, thats fine too. Going to church is not required. I think it says that somewhere in the bible, I can find it for you if you give me a little extra time.
Maybe if you show this verse to her?
It talks about how it's not required but it helps because your fellowshipping with other christians.
I'll find the verse and edit the question.
So check back on that =)
