The "extracurricular" activities like summer camps, vbs, family trips, bbqs and etc were all very fun, everyone is kind even if they dont like you or think youre weird. But boy did my dad waste so much of my time shoving church down my throat. It wasnt just Church on Sunday morning but Wednesday nights as well and then there was also Awana (sunday night). A program where they made you memorize bible verses weekly, had what was basically a mini sermon, though we did get gym time for stuff like dodgeball and every year we had a wooden car derby. I felt tinges of being religious and prayed but never thought I felt like the others did. I only sang in church not because I "felt the holy spirit" but I just enjoyed singing. When I got to highschool age I starting half ditching. They had three different time slots at my church and my dad always wanted to go to two of them. So I would stay for one sunday school session or sometimes half of one. After that I would sneak off to a separate building no one used after 8am sessions and would go read comic books and take teachers candy. But I still think it was mostly a waste of time. The amount of sleep/homework/friends I could have been spending time with instead. Ever since my family split up I have never gone regularly, just here and there with mom to make her happy.
