Forced as in I was young & my gran insisted I went to brainwashing sessions every sunday.
No place for the church as in it doesnt fit into modern life, I dont have any time for it & think christianity is a crock of shit...same goes for any religion!!

One of my uncles is a priest
He said" Da Vinci Code is a load of crap, its just a book that people want to believe in"
Oh the irony....

Think the lyrics to this song by Brian Mcfadden says it all IMO. Religious beliefs drummed into people too young to understand 
I was born in the heart of Dublin
Back when being gay wasn't cool
Made get on our knees every Sunday
with the other fools
We were warped by the Christian Brothers
In the cell blocks at our schools
Get a handprint on your skin
Before you break their rules
Go hit me now
That I'm twice your size
Brushed off the accusations
And bowed before your lies
This is the city that raised me
With the religion they gave me
Now I'm old enough to know my own mind
And it was leaving that saved me
I seen so much that has changed me
Just break with your past
Feed your own mind
This Irish son has moved with the times
Weddings deaths or baptizing children
That's my debt paid to the church
I don't need that kind of salvation
When I get hurt
Don't fill my head with sermons
And force me to believe
This is the city that raised me
With the religion they gave me
Now I'm old enough to know my own mind
And it was leaving that saved me
I seen so much that has changed me
Just break with your past
Feed your own mind
Cos' this Irish son has moved with the times
Our father who art in heaven
Come down here and make your presence known
We can't do it on our own
The lunatics let run the asylum
How can we find peace inside your home
When you can't trust your own
This is the city that raised me
With the religion they gave me
Now I'm old enough to know my own mind
But it was leaving that saved me
I've seen so much that has changed me
So just break with your past
Feed your own mind
Cos' this Irish son has moved with the times
Cos' this Irish son has moved with the times

Yeh i go.
I am quite annoyed because people have this huge perseption of how church is like nower days, that you sit on wooden chairs in your suit and listen for 3 hours then go home.
here is me churches website www.sublime.org.uk have a look and see what you think. Take a peek in the gallery.
Joe
P.s. sorry for the bad experiences you have had.

If you believe in God/Christ etc. why do you need to go to a building to pray, if God is meant to be all around us? Surely you can pray or whatever anywhere?
And as for your other question, my mum is Christian, my dad is muslim, I'm meant to be Christian as well but since leaving school etc. I'm more of a realist - as I was once saying to my mum recently, how do YOU know everything that has happened in the Bible/Koran etc is true and actually did happen?
In my opinion, it's all just a load of stories, whether they are true or not, is (and always will be, I feel) debatable.
At the end of the day, I know the difference between right and wrong, so I will live my life doing good things (and well let's face it bad things too LOL but more good than bad ) I don't feel the need to be a sheep...
Sorry if I've offended anyone, but I don't GAF, it's my opinion and take on religion.

I'd rather cut Kolins sausage off and make him eat it whilst driving Stchevens car downhill than ever set foot in a church.
