That was an awesome post and so true. Sitting in a garage no more makes you a car than going to church makes you a christian.

I also started to read Radical but had to stop. I couldn't handle it - it stressed me out way too much. I think that it's easy to get overwhelmed by the "bullet points" at church. I think it's good to remember that Jesus loves us just the way we are and He wants to meet us where we are. He knows that we're going to mess up for the rest of our lives, but because of his grace, He calls us worthy!

I just started following your blog and was so happy when I saw this post! I consider myself a lover of God and a christian...but I dont go to church. Never have. I just dont think you have to go to a place of worship to recognize god and show you love him.

I agree with you completely!!! At my house we both...

I agree with you completely!!! At my house we both decided that we are more spiritual than religious if that makes sense. We don't go to church but we love Jesus. Well said.

Caroline, this is a wonderful post. I know who I am and what I believe in. I currently do not a attend a church because I, like you, don't like it. I am a good person and a believer but I don't find it necessary to attend church to make me a better person. Maybe one day I will change my mind but for now I am content with my faith.

I love that quote by Ann Rice. I'm with you. For me, I quit going to church service because I felt like I was being "sold". If you haven't read Don Miller's book "Blue Like Jazz", you must! It helped me feel comforted in my own faith instead of feeling like I was an outcast. The book is all about discovering Christianity in unorthodox ways.

Thank you for posting about this. I have struggled...

Thank you for posting about this. I have struggled with the same things for a while now. It's nice to see that you have gotten family support, because I have not. They just don't get it! It's really helpful to know there are others out there that feel the same.

Seriously love that you wrote this! A lot of my gi...

Seriously love that you wrote this! A lot of my girlfriends jumped on a bandwagon this past semester. They started a small group, started going to this huge non denominational church and pretty much started changing who they had been their whole lives. It wasn't for me to say the least. I'm a Christian, grew up in a Christian home, but don't go to church & I don't enjoy the small group thing. I am ok with that, and I'm glad you are, too! There's absolutely nothing wrong with having a different relationship with God than someone else! Thanks for posting, I needed to read this today! :)

I so love this post and appreciate your honesty. I struggled through college with my faith and now, at 30, married, with bunches of kids, I still get confused sometimes. However, I don't let it distract me from the fact that I love Jesus. I can love Jesus and my martini at the same time, even. I love being comfortable with who I am in my faith. All around me, people "do" religion and Christianity and spirituality differently. I did that. I love to absorb their knowledge and opinions. My husband is an Agnostic who is really exploring religion on his own terms and we just love to have some good talks about it!
