I want to go to church but the cost of acknowledging belief...is terrifying...and the anxiety is too much to overcome. So I just stand across the street and watch the people who come and go and long to be apart of it all, but know that I am not, and probably will not be again.

this is really pretty...... the black and white tones look really good.. this makes me think, when I went to this memorial last week, most of the people on 'our side' of the family were not christians.. and the grandma and grandpa actually turned off their hearing aids during the sermon!! > (which I thought was hilarious) and i was sitting next to the grandma and she said to me, 'you know I'm not a christian' and I said 'it doesn't matter - theyre just people'.. to me its just words you know. religion is the feeling, people being together and caring for each other, to me the 'words' and all are just a matter of personal style.. ^^ the problem is when religious people want you to use their terms and their style.. its better when people can use their own to me.. either way I love this pic..
yeah, this one is just a little wooden church, but since I was raised catholic I do prefer the big stone behemoths. I think they are prettier, but not really necessary.
and when I say the cost of acknowledgment, i don't really mean the tithing, i don't mind tithing most because I have no money to tithe. I meant more of....when you accept that there is a god, you also accept that there is a purpose to life, and consequences for your actions, and that what you do with your life is not just a single moment but a dedication to something else...and that is scary...you also have to make sacrifices...and time out of your day for religious practices..

they took their hearing aids out, eh? That sounds like something my dad would do
it's just one of those little inner arguments...I went to catholic school (until I got kicked out) but at home my mom and grandpa didn't really care about going to church...then i went to live with my adoptive parents and they didn't really care aboutgoing to church...but now that I moved out and both sets of parents are older they all are going to church! and it makes me want to go...people who go to church seem so happy.

I wish it were that easy! I have severe anxiety that keeps me from doing a lot of things. Even thinking of going into one makes me feel all gross If I actually tried to go I'd probably hyperventilate

LOL, you have to pay to simply acknowledge that you believe? That doesn't sound like a church, that sounds like a scam.
