Just a question popped in my mind
You see, all religions in this earth (whether they bow to God or Devil) all have some kind of church, a place for you to gather, being close to your ultimate being, and pray for it.
And somehow, while in my ID card I'm a Buddhist, I don't actually go to temples, well, once a year at least, but that's that.
Not that I'm an atheist or something, I believe in God, I believe that a higher being is there, it's just I can't see it.
But somehow I'm not that motivated to go to temple, I don't like rituals, I like it simple: say something in your mind "God, I blah blah blah", with any languange and it's over, hope The God heard my prayers, anywhere anytime, no need to go to a particular place, at a particular time, surrounded by sacred items and artifacts, with the Bishop sitting in the front line leading the faithful followers, and pray with foreign languange (I'm a Chinese by bloodline, but I can't speak, read or listen Chinese, be it Kantonese or Mandarin). It just annoys me., they say God is everywhere, he'll listen to you, and watch you all the time, no barrier in all form, languange, matter, whatever.
I just live a simple life. I just do things that the society think as "good" and I try to avoid sins, and that's that. I do no evil, and thus I hope I'm not one The God will consider "sinful being, with Hell as his only place to live the afterlife". I don't even pray that often, maybe 20 times a year, with scheduled prayer in the class at 7 am disregarded.
Do you go to temple/church/mosques often? And do you think we really have to go?
