good, be urself and don't do something bcus others are doing it, don't even feel guilty bout not to church cus if shows that ure not blinded by wat people force themselves to see. just like u said religion should be between u and God.

Marissacooper:

Don't you think it's bad that I don't go to church? Cos people around me tell me that church gathering is important and staying at is putting a lot of doubt in my mind..

jiggaz:
My brother sister, i understand you perfectly well.... You see, that is the problem with religion in Nigeria. It is a shame that Christians have turned Christianity into a religion and that is not what Christ made it to be.

I know the kind of Church you are looking for, but i don't think you will find it in Nigeria. You cannot find a 100% Grace-based church in Nigeria. Just find one that still teaches Christ and attend.

I left my former church becos of this same issue of Self Righteousness, Being Judgemental & Hypocrisy...

Read this article, it addressed your situation, you will love it.

I'm very confused about religion and this is not something that just started, I never liked attending church services right from childhood. The thing got worse when I got into the uni, and it's making me depressed. When I got admitted I started attending my church fellowship in school, right from time I never liked the people in my fellowship because I feel they are bunch of hypocrites and very judgemental. They preach the truth but they don't practice it. I never got along with them because of this, I've quarreled with them, I've warned them that religion is a personal affair and how I leave my life is between me and God and it's non of their business. Right now I don't go to church anymore because anytime I go I feel disgusted. I've tried other churches but nothing is working, so many questions tormenting me, I don't wanna turn to an atheist or agnostic. I've been really disturbed and depressed, shutting everyone out of my life. It's really affecting me. Please help, I'm in my late teen and I feel I'm too young to be having these thoughts.
