Board_hunter567 08/19/25 12:24:32 PM #53:	Performatively, for the grandparents. Didn't much care for it outside of the stained glass and Easter potlucks. Only time I choose to go is if there's a free organ or bells concert. Evolician posted... Why does anyone go to church You can read the Bible / pray at home or basically anywhere at any time. Why do you need someone to explain the Bible to you when you can just read it yourself? If you still just really want some pastor guy to explain it to you, why not just watch him on TV? It's a set meeting place every week for group activities. Back in the day it was a cornerstone of local culture and even today it's still meaningful for some to have a connection with a community. The networking opportunities can also still be very impactful on personal and career advancement. With the loneliness epidemic I totally understand why the decline in church attendance has slowed. It's indoctrination but something as basic as singing along with others probably has a measurably positive effect on mental well-being. Others benefit when receiving guidance they're otherwise struggling with, which unfortunately can lead to zealotry. --- http://i.imgur.com/szMsu.png Validate your purchases and discredit the purchases of others whenever possible.
