Which isn't that often, anyway, because I don't want to bore God with my shallow complaints.

When I say non-practicing is that they don't go to church regularly AND they don't fully adhere to the church's doctrines. Reasons may vary: they see it plainly as a routine, or see it mor of an obligation to church as oppose to obligation to one's self, spiritually un-inspired etc.<br><br>I honestly believe that humans are born with an innate good nature in their hearts regardless if they have a religion or not. But, I also believe that a Supreme Being put it (good nature) it there.<br><br>I completely agree with you on this - "...but if you still do things that aren't necessarily good, then that devoids the whole hearing mass thing. It just makes one a hypocrite."<br><br>This is a nice post.

Because my primary reason for going to church is clear: that is, to render at least an hour of my week to serve God, in the way that Jesus has taught us. <br><br>Praying is good but overcoming your human weaknesses (of feeling unproductive hearing homilies, falling asleep during mass, becoming unattentive, etc.) would be better in showing Him that you are doing your best to nurture and deepen your Christian faith.<br><br>Come on, you can do it man.
