Church Friend Day

I consider myself Agnostic, even though I was baptized catholic. Thus, I don't go to religious events on my own doing.

That said, I have gone to a religious event or two because a friend has asked me to simply to keep them company. I wasn't being asked to convert or anything, just to be there, and I have no problem with that. The places I've gone aren't picky about you participating really.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

So you guys'd have gone to this shindig? Even with a service involved? I dunno, it seemed kind of like a "come be our friiiiiiends and help our congregation grooooow" kind of thing. The conversion vibe was strong, but I feel bad about assuming it.

How would you deal if you were ambushed?

It really depends on who it is. There are people I'd go to things with and those I would not.

The reason I went to the service that I did was because I had a friend very confused about her spirituality and she was trying different religious practices to see which one she felt she fit in. She wanted company, and so I was happy to accompany her to one of them.

Now if I had a friend who was very heavy into a religion who asked me to go to service 'just because', I would probably decline, unless it was a party or gathering that involved mingling. I'm not a fan of religious service or sermon, so won't go for those reasons.
