I was 6 when I asked if I have to go to church still, my Mom said no, if I don’t want to. I was shocked, she said she only wanted to expose me to how she grew up and let me make my choice. I went several times after that. As I got older I saw the very thing that had made me not want to go in the first place. I watched a church put its bottom line before it’s congregation and I was out.
