That's right, made this promise to myself. This thought suddenly came to me when my sis asked me again, for the umpteen times, to attend service at her church on Good Friday.
I am an atheist for the longest time, and yet she never gives up trying to convert me. So, I politely declined her. Not wanting to suffer through another torturous session in a bunch of people so eager to believe in some un-proven deity.
At her invitations I have been to countless church services, including a introductory session on the Alpha Course. She asked me to keep an open mind. Told me to learn more other faith, in particular, that of her own. But each service just got me more bored and unconvinced.
So finally I decided, church going for me is a colossal waste of time. Why should I waste 4 hours of my life sitting in the pew, listening to those religious litany which are based on nothing but blind faith? There are hundreds of religions out there, I don't see my sis keeping an open mind about them. I don't think she even knows about these religions as well as I do, she should be the one who should be finding out other faiths.
There is a limit to openmindedness, because not every idea is equally plausible and worth investigating, religious beliefs are those bad ideas. So finally, I have sworn to myself, never would I step into a church and waste my time to listen to someone preaching about a 2000 year old faith.
