Why I Believe some people don't go to church
Ok before I explain why I believe some people don't go to church please understand that I'm not knocking or making fun of the idea or anyone that does goes. I just want people to understand my theories on this. Why I believe some people don't go to church comes down to these things. 1) It seems like to me its more of a dog and pony show than it is about fellowshipping with other believers. 2) They see things that are too much like the world in church I can relate to this one. 3) They just don't care or believe at all. 4) They've tried to go and tried to learn only to get rejected by others in the church. 5) They've been bullied by others in the church. I'm sure there are others but those five spring to mind. I'm going to talk a little bit about the five reasons a bit. The first one about being a dog and pony show while I do believe that people should dress nice not everyone who goes to church has hundred dollar suits or can afford it. The second one about seeing things that are too much like the world I said I can relate to this one. Let me explain how when I go to a church and it seems more like a social click who drives the best cars, has the best clothes or feels like junior high and high school garbage than it is about people it makes my soul and heart sad and almost super depressed. Im not saying people need to be perfect because no one is but when it seems to be all about who has the most money I personally don't want to be there. My third reason they don't care or believe at all. Some people don't believe there even is a Creator but they believe in evolution I can't really say a whole lot about this one. My fourth one they try to go to church only to get rejected by others. I guess back when I use to go I cared too much what people thought about me but I would always try to treat people with respect and still get rejected. My theory is if you reject me why should I even accept you when I"m trying to love like the Creator loves his brother or sisters. I personally don't want to waste my time on anyone who thinks I'm a nobody. The fifth and final point about being bullied in church. I've experienced this one too. I told this one guy at this church one time that I listen to christian rap and christian rock and he told me I was going to hell. Im not a violent person but it was one of the few times I almost felt like striking someone in the Creator's house. Another comment that lingered in the back of my mind when he told me that was if I'm going to hell I'll have a seat waiting for you thats warm. So that is the five reasons off the top of my head why some people don't go to church. I even just now thought of a sixth one which is this. It seems to me the hearts of so many people just aren't lined up with the truth. I admit my heart may not always be right but I feel it takes a bigger man or woman to admit that. I want to see people in the church start being honest and stop being so self righteous. Please understand I don't think everyone who goes to church is but to me the ones that are ruin it for me. There is a scripture that says guard your heart for it is the well spring of life. I personally don't want to act or become like a self righteous person. While I may think I'm right alot I'm righteous enough to admit that I'm not right all the time. So I would love to hear your comments on this. Do you have any of your own theories why some people don't go to church? I encourage you to share. Thank you for reading my Interesting Random Theories Blog.

You totally nailed it right on the head. I too like a lot of christian music. I like some bands like Officer Negative, Outer Circle, Crashdog, 90 LB Wuss, Blah, Crux, Dogwood, MXPX, Spudgun, World Against World, FBS. I also like some christian rap like L.A. Symphony, Redcloud, Grits, Pettidee, Mr.Del, Tapwater are just some of the christian rappers I like. Too many churches are there way or the highway. It's not about their way its about His way.
