I use to go weekly but latley I have had to work on the weekends and have been to exhausted for the week night services. But things are taking a turn for the better and starting this weekend rendering will be done and I won't have to come in on the weekends for awhile. So next month the answers yes.

In Junior/Infant school we were all taken on a trip to church each year I think, (so from ages 5 to 11). Since then I have been in a church twice, though both were to watch my (now ex-)girlfriend play the trumpet or cornet... so I haven't been to a service in 10 years.
I go to church for Christmas as a family tradition and the church does a lot of fun stuff around Christmas too so it's alright.
I don't show my appreciation for life by praying and giving thanks... I show my appreciation for life by getting out and enjoying it.
Besides, consider this.
1) The average lifespan in the U.S. is 78 or so.
2) The average amount of time spent at Church on a Sunday is about 3 hours (a fair assumption).
3) The number of weeks in a year is 52 (let's exclude all those extra days/weeks).
Even with all these assumptions, this means that the average person who goes to church weekly will spend about 507 days of their life in church; that's over a year and a half of your life in church.
4) The average lifespan in the U.S. in days is 28,470 (78 * 365).
If we divide average lifespan in days by the average days spent in church by a person, we get a number around 56.
Just consider that for a moment: For every 56~57 people who attend church weekly all their lives, the church has effectively killed one person.
Never been, never planning to go.

Hilarious. I'm going to have to use that in the future.

That's an...interesting way to put it hehe.
I go to church weekly. If I was on my own, I'm not sure if I'd keep going every week, but that's not something I really feel like talking about.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release. (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

i believe in god and it dose not cost me a thing. in fact they have proven that having belief in something an have a positive effect on your life. Now your more then welcome to keep not believing but when the time comes and we punch our ticket think of this. If i am wrong i am out nothing, but if you have been wrong you will be out every thing.
