Church and Partying

I am always asked if I go to church? My answer is No. I am not against religion nor the church. I just happen to have stopped going to church as I am a sinner. Ironic because we are all sinners and church is for us sinners to attend and hear the good word.

I spent my whole childhood reading the bible, books on the bible, and other religious books. Not because I was forced nor because I felt it was my obligation. I just read these topics because I have always loved reading and learning different things in order to expand my mind to thing in other peoples perspectives.

I have learned so much about these books on how to live life, and the consequences of our mistakes. I see the bible as a book of reflection on our lives. As sin has existed since the day's of Adam and Eve. Sin is not new. People killing, stealing, lying, having sex before marriage, sex with a married woman or man, prostitutes, rape...everything that exist today existed back in the day. Except maybe Ipads, Android Phones, and Laptops.

I do not attend mass because if I do I will stop being the person I am currently and seclude myself from the world. I do not currently want to seclude myself completely...maybe until I get married and have children. I am partially secluded as I spend hours doing homework. I do not want to remove my weekends from my fun days. I would also feel like am a hypocrite going to church then afterwards going cruising around looking at cute or hot guys, dancing tribal (trival) with my friends, and laughing and making jokes about other people.

I know that people do not seclude themselves just because they attend church mass (Catholic), but I feel I would need to do that in order to be able to live a life based on church teachings. Temptation is very eye catching.
