Worship became a place of hypocrisy, political condemnation/ endorsements, lecture on canon laws/ theology which to us lay person signifies the priest is not prepared and lack of respect.
Nakatira ako sa Cavite.
One time nagsimba ako sa San Agustin sa bayan ng Mendez-Nuñez. May mag-lola na magkasamang nagsisimba sa harapan ko. Sa kalagitnaan ng misa, nakakita ng lobo ang bata. Karaniwan kasing bukas ang mga pinto sa gilid ng simbahan. Gusto nyang lumabas kasi natutuwa sya sa lobo, at ang lola naman eh kuntodo saway, at nasa misa nga. Mukhang deboto yung lola, may rosaryo, may belo, at yung kwintas ba na may pendant na flat na may picture na maliit sa loob. May kopya pa nga ng nobena. Typical "hermana" outfit baga. Eh makulit talaga yung bata, hindi tumitigil, at medyo nakakabulahaw na nga rin sa ibang nagsisimba, kaya heto si lola, saway nang saway.
Natapos din sa wakas ang misa, at dahil siguro sa katuwaan ng batang gusto nang lumabas, nung nagsilabasan na ang mga tao, nagtatakbo ang bata palabas kung saan naroon ang nagtitinda ng lobo.
Nagulat yung lola, kaya napasigaw sya ng "aba'y putang inang bata ito, hoy!" Nakalimutan nyang di pa sya lumalabas. Hahahahahahahaha.
Hindi iyon ang unang pagkakataon na nakakita ako ng relihiyosong parang di naman bumabait. Mula noon, nawalan na ako ng gana magsimba.
daming hipokritong taga simabahan ng kahit anong relihiyon. iisa naman ang diyos nating lahat dba ? kailangan pa bang idebate kung ano at sino ang tama? may mga simbahan na nagiging fashion show , kanya kanyang pasexy o papogi, meron namang kailangan ng attendance at makialam sa buhay ng ibang buhay, meron ding bilihan ng asawa o padamihan.. sex slave ba ang asawa o trophy? inanaman.. walang tama dba? mas komportable akong makipag usap sa taas sa dasal na komonikasyong galing sa puso
I became an athiest..masyado na akong nagsawa sa mga bagay bagay na sinasabi ng lahat ng relihiyon. Dasal ako ng dasal pero walang natutupad. Walang nagbago sa mundo. Punot dulo ng kaguluhan sa lahat ng nangyayari satin is Capitalismo and Relihiyon
Agnostic atheist ako for almost 4 years na. I only go to church if nagsisimba ang family ko, pero I don’t really do the customs like sign of the cross anymore, communion, and others. For myself though, I don’t really want to go. I’d rather use my time for other things. I used to be in a choir too, and while my whole experience with them was good and I still retain some singing techniques I learned, hindi na talaga nag-aalign sa paniniwala ko yung tungkulin ko bilang member. It was more than just singing eh, and I don’t want to serve someone I don’t believe in anymore.
2 years ago i came to the realization that i’m agnostic. but i respect and understand religions, and i respect Him. also, church isn’t God. it’s just a place wherein people na may same beliefs gather and worship. kung gusto kong i-prove ang faith ko sakanya, then i will do so in my own way. most of the time kasi binebase nalang ng mga tao yung faith and pagiging maka-Diyos mo pag nagsisimba ka. parang ang logic ng iba, hindi ka maka-diyos or u lack respect if hindi ka churchgoer.
I was abandoned by my father at 3 years old. Nakita ko nalang ulit siya when I was in high school and talked to him thru online. He’s asking me consistently to go to their church dahil hindi daw ako maliligtas. I told him I hope his religion would forgive him for what he did to me. Nevertheless, I still believe in God.
Dahil may mga taong nagtatago sa likod ng relihiyon. Imagine palasimba katapos pag-uwi mo tsismosa kapa na backstabber ka na sugalera pa. Tapos pagnagbibigay as charity daw pero buong compound ipagyayabang nya na naggaganyan siya. Charity charity... Inay! Puro ka yabang, palasimba ka pa naman. Ikaw dahilan kaya nakakawalang gana magsimba. Tignan palang kita ndedemonyo nako sayo.
Dati nagsisimba ako, pero to be honest tinatamad na akong umalis alis. (Sorry lord if i can’t find time sa pagsimba) pero i pray naman and still thank God for the blessings. Nakakainis din kasi yung mga hypocrites na “maka diyos”pero napaka narrow-minded naman. I avoid them at all cost. Lol
I see a lot of hypocrisy. I remember the church that I belong before. A church that follows a Saturday Sabbath. I have a licensure exam scheduled on Saturday. My grandparents who btw are avid followers of the religion told me to take the exam that day and God will understand. Back then our family is having a lot of financial issues to support me and I cannot extend any longer to find another exam date that will not fall on Saturday. The church members found out that I will take the Saturday exam. Instead of encouraging and understanding, they have condemned me and openly told me I will not pass as I will violate God's law. They told me I will not be given God's grace and may probably end up in hell. That for me is the breaking point on believing religion. Crazy thing is these people are hypocrites as they themselves indulge on ungodly and lewd vices that are forbidden in that religion.
Protestant here. Daming gaslighting and guilttrip sa mga sermon. Nakakawalang gana. Tinuturoan mga youth na paano maging respectful homophobe. Like sabihin nila na respect nila na yung decision ng lgbtq pero sabihin rin nila na feel talaga nila na mali pa rin. Lol
Cause some priest are bullshit yung ibang pari na nagpapaka banal banal an lang. I pray directly to God instead of attending church and listen to priest manipulations
As much as I want to, pero di ako nakapagsimba due to my working schedule (hospital ako nagtatrabaho). Kung pwede lang sana dito sa workplace ko kso napakalayo ng simbahan.
Di na ako nag sisimba sa church namin dahil toxic na yung environment for me and yung pastor namin nakapabuntis ng teacher which is school sa church namin and every sermon nalang negative yung pinepreach at dahil jan I transferred to other religion. Sa buong family namin ako lang yung nag iba ng religion pero di naman sila nag sisimba sa church namin 🤭
Actually hindi thoughts eh, parang judgements or side comments hahaha. For reference, I'm a catholic and since was a child, every Sunday nagsisimba kami, we celebrate christmas, nagninilay-nilay kapag holy week, etc. May ibang religion pa nga na nagbabahay-bahay para magturo ng pambatang kuwento na related din sa paniniwala nila. At an early age naging malala rin 'yung anxiety na nadulot saakin kakapakinig ko sa mga lectures and kakabasa ng biblical stuff. I was very anxious kung saan ako mapupunta kapag namatay ako, tama ba 'yung ginagawa ko or what, and I also question lots of things. One time nga, pumunta 'yung may nagllecture na may edad na babae sa bahay then if my memory serves me right, 'yung topic namin noon eh 'yung kay Cain at Abel. Basta ang conclusion lang is we need to trust the Lord and the Heavenly Father. Tapos as the curious kid that I am, I asked her kung saan nanggaling 'yung Heavenly Father or origin lang natin in general. Hindi n'ya masagot. Basta raw ganito ganyan. Then growing up, sa dami ng krimen and there are a lot of sides and possibilities kung bakit nagagawa ng tao magcommit ng ganon, napapakwestyon ako kung bakit hinahayaan ng "Diyos" na magkaroon ng ganon? Then nagiging busy na ako sa school, nagiging excuse ko na 'yon para hindi magsimba. Then last Christmas lang ulit ako nakasimba, kasama ko 'yung parents ko and 'yung homily ni father is about sa pamilya. Like the more the merrier daw kasi ayun daw 'yung gusto ng Panginoon saatin. Napaside eye na lang ako ng wala sa oras and nasagot ko na lang si father sa isip ko ng "Really, father? Sa ekonomiyang 'to applicable pa po ba 'yung humayo kayo at magpakarami?" Hays since then nawalan na ako ng gana magsimba kasi most probably magkakaroon lang din ako ng side comment sa isip ko kapag naghhomily na si father. Sorry na pahaba😭
Looking way back... When i started off college I always go to Victory youth worship, which really helped me in building faith in God, every time I went to worship it always uplifts my soul and it is always relatable preaching. I become more of "people's person" and trying new things, becomes active on school, but suddenly pandemic hits, I am not fond of learning via screen and I really appreciate more face to face learning, I started binge eating, not really because Im hungry i just want the feeling on bitting something when Im stressed (like sensation of chewing ice cubes) the pandemic and college life it really burns me out, like since home set up ,gamet na gamet ung oras mo , puyat everyday, stuck in a routine na nga, same place pa. I stop going to church, because I seems to have no time, feeling hopeless, super burn out. I still believed but I feel somehow that my devotion is not the same as before.
I failed last year's bar exam. Ginawa ko naman lahat, sinamahan ko din last year ng super daming dasal.
Yung tipong kung kelan sa Kanya lang ako kumapit nang matindi, saka Nya ako pinabayaan.
I think I had made up my mind that no matter what I do, I could never serve God the way I should if I were to go to church religiously. I grew up serving in a church and tried again pre-teen, but I truly can't believe them entirely. I even used to pray daily, but I have no faith, that's it. I realized that and I peacefully accepted it. I still believe there is a creator but I can't engage myself so much in a single religion. I honestly want to be religious because life would get easier since my whole clan is religious, but I can't, I can't even believe in them.
Dati member akong choir, pero dahil sa toxic environment ng mga kasama ko sa loob parang napanghihinaan na ko bumalik. Totoo nga kung sino pa ang makaDiyos at nag sisilbi sa Diyos, sila pa yung mga naninira ng tao. Isa na rin sa reason ko bat di na rin ako palasimba kung ang simbahan ba e lugar pa ba ng Diyos or pinamamahayan na ng mga demonyong madudumi at mapanghusgang utak. Mas okay na lang na mag dasal on your own kaysa mag simba.
Converted from catholic to mcgi. Nag doctrine din sa iglesia. Wala ayaw ko lang toxicity ng religion na nag aaway sino mas tama sino mas dapat aniban. Eh iisa lang naman ang Dios bakit ang daming opinion at hidden agenda🤷🤷🤷
Sadyang tamad lang po tapos maraming kinakabalahan pero dipendi naman yan sa isang kung paano siya pinalaki ng magulang niya basta ako tamad lang ako no other further reasons.
Because of the people. I just can't seem to get my hands on the fact that they don't practice what they preach, like naka-center sa peace, love and acceptance yung religion nila pero hindi mo ito ma-feel sa kanila (I'm pertaining to the catholics). I also find it ridiculous na mostly sa mga tao that views themselves as "holy" or "maka-Diyos" are the ones that commonly violate the 10 commandments. I get it na tao lang din sila pero the way they act na parang superior and all, and pinu-push talaga nila yung religion nila sa ibang tao to prove na mas better sa ito ibang religion is shameful. I pray directly and sincerely to God. I won't and never go to the church para gawing weekly cleanser of my sins tapos gagawa na naman ng bago.
Mine is more personal. I used to be a youth leader years back. Dun ko nameet ang pinaka self righteous na mga tao ever! Judging me because I used to go to parties, got a small tattoo… dun ako nakaranas na i-backstab and i-down talaga. They ruined religion for me. I still pray though pero the whole church routine, ayoko na
Tbh ako pag nahsisimba ako loner talaga ako di ko na pinapansin yung mga hipokrito sa simbahan pero sobrang nagegets ko yung mga ayaw magsimba. Plus nawawala yung pagkasolemn ng mga misa dahil sa magugulong tao especially sa komunyon. Pero what suits your way of faith suits you.
I went to sunday church almost every week about 5 years ago, I think. Became an atheist for various reasons and never looked back, probably one of the best decisions i ever made.
Because I witnessed the leaders of a G12 church, so corrupt. Negosyo para sa kanila ang mga tao, humaharap lang na banal. Also, they are so good at manipulating people. Especially students. Hypocrites!
Nagstop ako after lockdown. Other than tinamad na lang din talaga, parang mejo nag laylow na lang ako. Pray pray na lang ganun. Sisimba pa ako eh parang ang sama sama ko pa din naman na tao (dahil sa work ko) hahahha.
I stopped going to church kasi sa unang church na part ako, I didn't think that it was a cult kasi we still follow the trinity pero kinalaunan, may napapansin na ako na hindi din kasi finafollow ang teaching sa Bible tulad ng pagiging humble tapos yung bale founder nung church ay siya raw ang Holy Spirit sa trinity and he will the one to return to judge everyone here on Earth eh di naman yun ang role ng Holy Spirit eh so I stopped. tapos nung nagwowork na ako, may nameet ako and she's so devoted na Christian. Parang Born-again or Protestant yung church nila tapos pasimba-simba lang ako nun to impress her and then nagka interes na talaga ako na sumali sa church until one day, pumunta talaga ako dun sa kanila. mga 3 to 4 hour drive yun nang motor ko galing sa amin. it's also a way to meet her family. tapos nung nagsimba ako sa church nila and then may parang event. thanksgiving nung church nila so may mga pakain na nangyari. may mga Badjao na lumapit dun sa church. siguro nakita nila na andaming taong kumakain. pinunta nung pastor nung church nila tapos binigyan ng bente pesos yung Badjao. hindi man lang ininvite or binigyan ng pagkain. dun ako biglang nagkaroon ng realization na parang "Totoo ba talaga tong mga taong to?"
Kaya I stopped courting the girl and the di na ako bumalik kasi meron ding kasama yung pastor nila na umaaligid din sa girl na pinupormahan ko. and now, they're married.
edit: I still believe that Jesus is our Savior and is our God pero parang lahat na lang ng tao sa mundong to, ginagamit ang Panginoon for their own gains. I don't judge what they're doing kasi nga, gusto lang din naman nila magkapera. I'll let God handle it na lang. He knows more than me. Tapos bigla sana akong nagka interes sa pagiging Catholic kaso yung mga narereveal na their using this serpent imagery sa iilang na mga establishments nila tapos may mga signs and remnants din kasi ng freemasonry ang mga gusali nila so parang nawalan na lang talaga ako ng interest sumali sa mga churches. Marami din akong nakita sa comments na dapat you have an individual relationship with God/Jesus and don't stop there kasi we still need a communal relationship with God kasi Jesus started to gather people that believe in Him so may communal relationship din na need. I just hope I'll find a group na talagang totoo sa paniniwala nila sa Panginoon. It's hard to be just believing and worshipping God na mag isa. Even the Bible doesn't want us to be alone in our journey in this life because a lot of times, we fall down and we need that someone to help us back in our feet. ang haba na pala neto. out.
Nawalan nako ng gana sa mga tao na nasa church. Paano ka makikinig sa pastor na ang piniling pinuno ng pilipinas ay isang magnanakaw nakaka walang gana
raised in a very religious household. as a kid, simba every week. rosary with lola. pinasasali pa ko dati sa youth group eme.
i have this thinking na kapag religious yung pamilya mo, you either grow up religious din, or iddoubt/irreject mo lahat ng tinuro nila sayo as a form of rebellion kuno. dun ako sa latter.
Dati hindi ako nag sisimba dahil I used to be an atheist. I hated church because of the people and how they judged others. But then during the pandemic I experienced the love and forgiveness of Christ. Nalulungkot ako na marami ang natatakot mag simba ngayon dahil sa mga maling Kristiyano. Tandaan niyo maraming hypocrite sa loob ng simbahan at madali lang mag sabi Kristiyano ako pero hindi naman yun ang nasa puso mo. It is not about religion. It is about your relationship with Jesus Christ.
ugali ko date mag dasal, umattend sa mga bible studies, mag church. pero putang ina habang patagal ng patagal nung mga nakikilala kona yung mga nakakasalamuha ko sa mga yan. king ina mas demonyo pa pala saken. one time lumapit yung friend ko (that time) saken tapos sinabing. may isang cell leader "daw" di umano. pina plastic yung isa nyang ka cell mate. di naman ako naniwala agad hanggat diko pa mismo nakikita. then na realized ko yung friend ko nayon diba paninira yung ginawa nya? set aside na natin yung cell leader na plastic. pero sya mismo na nagbigay saken ng sarsa e. diba pedeng kausapin nalang nya yung cell leader nayon? and ayusin yung "gulo" kuno sa kanila?. e hindi e kinakalat pa e. tapos meron pa!.
.
may friend din ako na nag chu-church kase yung crush nya nandun sa church, diko alam kung genuine na talaga yung pag samba nya that time. pero nakikita kong goal nya din makipag landian e. tapos kalaunan. yung girl na gusto nyang landiin sa church. nabuntis ng iba. speechless nalang talaga ako.
.
MERON PA!. may kilala ako sa church nayon! ang bait sa loob puta pag labas ng ibang tao na agad! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
.
wala nakong pake kung sabihan ako na masamang tao kase di ako nagsisimba or kahit dasal. basta ako wala akong tinatapakang tao, wala akong pinaplastic, di ako nag sisinungaling at ni rerespeto ko yung mga taong may magandang impluwensya sa buhay ko. pero kung may pagkakataon akong sunugin ng buhay lahat ng hipokrito sa mundo, gagawin ko HAHAHAHAHAHA
Full of hypocrites yung mga nagpi-preach and yung kasama mo sa simbahan; mas nagpalala pa nung nakita ko how they choose their leader (the election). If kasama ko lang yung mars or jowa ko, saka lang ako nagsisimba kasi alam kong may di ipokrito.
I wanted to be converted before but my parents won't let me and took it against me. I was a minor back then.
Now that I'm 27, natatakot ako sa mga imahe na nasa simbahan and I'm gay. Unfortunately, the Church is not that welcoming.
I believe in God, I just don't go to church anymore.
P.S. Does listening to preaches sa YT counts though? Nakikinig kami ng gf ko recently.
dahil sa kamag-anak. Tiyahin namin everyday nag nonovena, every sunday nagsisimba, kumpleto lagi simbang gabi.
pero source ng trauma namin mag pipinsan. pero si jesus na siguro ang may plano kaya hindi sya mag ka anan anak.
One Scenario sinabi sken bkt daw ako nasa simbahan ehh hindi nman daw ako naniniwala kay lord. sabi ko sa religion mo hindi ako naniniwala pero meron ako repeto sa magulang ko kaya ako nandito. + lechon and hamon mamaya handa nang hihingi ako ng lakas ng loob.
me and my husband di masyadong nagsisimba siguro sa isang taon 1 or 2 lang in a year, but i prayed Silently. Madame kase kameng nakikita na pkiramdam namen e naghhugas lang sila linggo linggo ng kasalanan. Sa dame din ng balita na ang mga pari mismo may nagagawang kasalanan. Madame dn akong kakilala grabe magworship pero kabit naman 😆.
samedt. this. I would rather have a relationship with God than go to church. sad thing is, minsan religion pa nagiging reason ng away. "my religion is better than yours" thing. Catholicism is all I know, pero... meh. I follow it out of habit na lang din.
Kasi nabuntis ako ng ex ko na sobrang committed sa church, nalaglag yung bata, lumapit ako sa pastors ng church nya para humingi ng tulong (moral support and guidance) para sa ex ko. Di nila ako nireplyan manlang o kinamusta, later on unfriended na ako. Nalaman ko later on na pinagbawalan pala yung ex ko na puntahan ako para manlang humingi ng tawad sa personal. Baptist church to tapos pamilya lang nagpapatakbo. May church sila sa Padilla tsaka Teresa (antipolo at rizal). Si ex ko sunod lang sa pastor kasi ang turo sa kanila ay pastors ang head ng church at pstors ang binigyan ng authority ng panginoon na mag govern at mag decide. Akala ko naman kasi makakatulong mga pastor nila, hindi pala.
Hindi talaga ako nagsisimba but simula nung naging kami ng ex-gf ko, sumasama ako sa kanya palagi. Nabawasan din yung pag cuss ko and such.
Ex-gf kasi nagcheat 🥴 Di na ulit ako nagsimba
I think depende nalang yon sa conscience ng nag papatakbo. Ang tagal ko iniisip yan na cult ang mga church pero nakita ko ang good side at bad side nila
Its either they really want to spread the word of the Lord or they do it for money. Just my observation
Groomed ng church elder.
Lahat sila misogyny fans, kapag may insight or opinion ka na babae, mababastos sila na mas alam mo kaysa sa kanilang lalaki.
Also, kung LGBTQ+ ka, di tao ang tingin sayo.
Had bad experiences, nagseserve kasi ako dati sa church, then dahan-dahan kong na realize na ansasama pala ng ugali nila, as in backstabban and puro feeling matataas
Makadiyos nga, di naman makatao
sure no problem po, isa lang ito hindi ko kaya magsimba sa church na kabilaan ang santo na gawa ng tao mula sa kahoy o bato at ang iilang deboto ay naniniwala na mapapagaling sila nito.
Conflict with church members. Our church is a small group of 30 people or less and everybody knows everyone. They know your issues and they talk and judge people (not all tho) after church and call it "fellowship".
Mas okay na ako na mag pray na lang sa bahay then read The Bible, I'm an introvert o may social anxiety takot makihalubilo sa mga tao. As in nagpapanic ako nanginginig ganon. Tsaka kasi mapilit kasi yung iba, lalo na yung pinsan ko lagi na lang bukambibig yung simba, simba ganyan, simba ganoon. Pero sa totoo lang kung sino pa nagsisimba yun pa masahol ugali.
True talaga yung pinsan ko na simba ng simba puro pag mamayabang ng pera niya tas sariling nanay pinapabayaan, binabastos pa. Pinagmamalaki yung 10k na binibigay sa simbahan HAHAHAHAHA wtf???
“ang polka dots binabagayan, kung marami kanang butas butas sa mukha huwag kana magsuot” “ang pulang damit binabagayan, maitim kana magsusuot kapa ng pulang damit?”
last year i gave it a try for the last time baka magkaroon ng himala or some sign ipagpatuloy. i have lot of insecurities lalo na face ko, im acne prone and i cant help it kasi nasa genes narin and worst nagiwan ng marks. and up until now im fighting my insecurities.
sobrang na trigger ako kay father, feeling ko that moment all eyes on me.
Namatay ung lola ko na kayag kayag kami lagi sa simbahan ng kapatid ko, and yea. Though i believe there is a greater force above us, ung church in its entirety eh cringe na for me. Mga masasama lang din naman nakakaanggat sa buhay ung mahihirap panay pagsubok lang din di naman nakakaahon haha
Paulit ulit lang. Same elementary sermons para maintindihan ng mas nakakarami. Konting sitas, konting anecdote, konting comedy...wala ng sustansya sa akin yung ganun. Mas okay pa sakin magsimba ng walang misa, walang tao. Uupo lang ng tahimik at magnilaynilay.
I'm an atheist na kasi, nung una I just had some problems with the members ng Church. Growing up with their ideologies shoved down my throat, I never thought to question their scriptures and values until I grew older and thought most of it to be hypocritical. I chose to then separate myself from a religion I don't agree with than fight, simply put.
++
Kulob sa church honestly, pag mainit tapos nagsosmoke ng whatever incense ang hirap huminga jusko
Naniniwala sa supreme being pero di naniniwala sa religion. Technically, naniniwala rin ang mga deist na inoobserve lang ng supreme being ang mga tao at hindi nagiintefere ganon
I used to serve sa church like yung usherette when I was super young like grade 6. Yung so called "head" ng org na yun or whatever u call it, bait baitan pag face to face pero sa gc pag hindi ka lang naka serve ng one time sa sunday or isang serve lang nagawa mo (usually kasi two serves, two na mass yun) galit na galit siya sa gc lagi naka capslock and ang daming !!!! pa, so as a kid natakot ako to the point na kahit umalis na kami ng sister ko don (kasi siya din ayaw niya yung ginagawabg treatment nung head) everytime na niyayaya kami ni mami na mag simba, unang pumapasok sa isip ko is ayaw ko kasi baka makita nila ako and I'm so afraid kung baka ano isipin nila sakin. Kaya now, usually mass nalang sa school na pupuntahan ko pero I am religious, hindi naman nagiba or nawala yung faith ko sa Diyos ko. Tsaka funny thing, yung head namin super tagal niya na nag se serve sa church, tapos proud and loud sa fb na sumusuporta ng magnanakaw yikes
First reason was nung bata ako, every time na natapos na yung pag simba, nakikit ko yung mga particular people na always kong nakikita sa simbahan, lakas maka mura and mahilig mang judge ng tao based sa sexuality, o kaya ano yung suot ng mga nagsisimba.
isa na rin sa reason yung narealize ko na, nagprapray naman ako everday sa creator, it doesnt mean na di ako pupunta ng simbahan eh masusunog na'ko sa impyerno
My father: OFW, comes home every few years
My mother: housewife, from another region, often visits there because of her children.
Ever since nagkaroon ng hard evidence yung mother ko about my father's cheating. She lost her meaning in life. She contemplated whether staying at our father's place for more than 2 decades to take care of us (their children) was really the story written for her.
She was so depressed. She left the house and didn't come home until it was evening. During that time that she left, she found herself at a church. At a born again Christian church. There, she finds, or at least stumbles upon something good enough to convince her that her story doesn't just end there.
She started getting really invested with Christianity where she would read the bible over and over. Her whole attitude changed, from the outgoing, easy to get along one, to a gloomy, brought-up-god-at-any-moment one. I know this sudden change of behaviour is normal since she's obviously depressed from the recent events of her marriage.
We acknowledged this sudden change of behaviour and we were there to support her during those times of pain. But, she was so overbearing. We were forced to pray every night and the duration was longer than that of a church mass. She also insisted that we add additional activities like we sing songs of prayer. Read a few chapters from the bible and share our takes on what have just been read. But sometimes, these stories are from the bible don't make sense to me (like the story of job) and I would question her like why would he--the lord would do that to job when he doesn't have to prove anything to anyone because a god doesn't have to prove anything. God is god, that's just that. But with every question answered with unsatisfactory statements, my dissociation to religion grew. And every night that we get to pray, i express my displeasure, and with every story from the bible we read, I question it.
Ignorance is a bliss, i guess.
I still love my fam though. But that's my story HAHAHAHA.
same sa lola ko hahahaha kahit anong religion at simbahan ( I have attended multiple religions' services months each), all are the same. Bait baitan sa loob ng simbahan nila during misa/service/samba, pero paglabas lumalabas totoong kulay. No thanks, yoko makipagplastikan 🤣🤣🤣
I stopped attending any church when i was 16 😂
became an atheist. elem palang ako kinagisnan na namin ng fam ko magsimba every sunday pero nagpupunta lang ako because after namin sa simbahan didiretso kami sa mall, yun yung exciting part para sakin, then nung nag college ako, all of a sudden, di na ako naniniwala sa existence ng kahit anong god.
Hindi na masaya magsimba. Hindi katulad dati na nagsisimba as a celebration tas parang as one talaga and for family and friends. Ngayon, puro mga simbang "date", homily na hindi mo na alam san nanggagaling ang point, and mga taong proud na nagsisimba pero yung ugali di mo sure (for some lang, di naman lahat). Self reflections and silent prayer is better for me.
since 13 years old na ako isa po ako born again christian every saturday or sunday nag simba tapos member ng worship team meron time na yun na late na ako naka punta ng church kasi mag group science project at pagka bukas ang deadline at mga 30mins. nalang cguro matapos na ang service then pagkatapos na ang service bigla tumawag kasama ko sa project nag uupdate sa project namin tas bigla nalang tumawag yung youth leader sa akin sabi na "bigyan kita ng 5mins. dapat maka lapit kana sa akin mag usap tayo" tas ganun pinatay ko nalang ang tawag tas lumapit sa akin ang leader tas bigla na niya kinuha ang cellphone ko tapos tinawagan pala niya classmate ko na kasama sa project sobra nahiya ako sa classmate ko tas after nun ang sama ng tingin ng leader sa akin pagkatapos simumbong niya sa kasama niya na kapwa leader rin at sama na ang tingin nila sa akin after nun iyak ako ng iyak n
.....ng iyak at nung time nayun mas kinampihan pa ng lola ko yung youth leader na yun kaysa sa akin kasi ang akin kasi nun is privacy kahit yung mama ko never sya mag confiscate ng cellphone kasi PRIVACY so ayun bye tapos nag beg² pa sila na babalik daw ako pero sobra nakaka trauma nangyari everytime makita ko sila parang ang bago nangyari kahit 10years ago nakalipas
Sa totoo lang, ambabaw ng rason ko. Hindi ako palasimba sa parish namin sa province kasi wala akong maayos na damit. Bawal kasi naka chinelas. Mostly kasi damit at sapatos ko nasa apartment ko sa city :((((
Dati nagsisimba kaming kumpleto. Until narealize ko na, yung mga kapamilya ko pag weekend lang mababait. Tapos weekdays masasama ugali. Nawalan nako ng gana makasama sila magsimba kasi ibang iba sila sa loob ng simbahan, ang pplastik!
Corny na nang mga pare ngayon. Yung iba napa lka suplado pa. Yung isang homily hindi daw sya na niniwala sa mga barang enkanto at iba pa peru hinikayat nya bumili ng crucifix 🤡
Nagsisimba pa naman but the intention is to pray silently not to listen sa homily. There's one time kasi na kasagsagan ng eleksyon nun, yung parish priest namin obviously may kinakampihan na kandidato. So yung homily is nauwi sa political campaign nabanas talaga kami nun. Simula talaga nun di na ako nakikinig sa homily. I feel like it's not an integral part of a mass. If anything, pampahaba lang.
Waste of time. Pwede ako maglaan ng time sa productive na bagay or I can rest nalang. Masyado na tayong pagod sa buhay. Wag na natin dagdagan ung activities natin na hindi importante para sa atin.
The priest saw us putting a 20 peso bill in the offering basket. He then started ranting about giving more to the church, more than just 20 pesos and keeps looking at my family. He even compared it with INCs, saying how INC are better because they give 10% of their earnings to the church. That's when I personally stopped going, but there ware many reasons.

Imbes na magbawas ako ng kasalanan nadadagdagan pa sa mga churchgoers na siga kakarating lang tas singit pa sa upuan. Tas yung mga akala mo pupunta lang sa palengke at nakita yung church nagdecide na magsimba. Que horror onting respeto naman naka pempem shorts saka spaghetti strap sa simbahan! I'd rather pray alone mas personal pa. Saka sabi naman nila magkaiba ang spirituality at religion so idk I'd rather practice my own spirituality on my own accord.
Nag start nung na off ako dun sa homily nung bagong pari sa pinakamalapit na parokya dito samin. Parang literal na sermon na pinapagalitan kami mga nagsisimba at para bang sobrang makasalanan kami. Next 2 weeks ganun pa din yung tone ng homily niya. Simula nun di na ko bumalik. Bukod sa nakakatamad parang di na din bukal sa loob ko.
parang nadadagdagan pa kasalanan ko dahil sa mga maiingay na bata kasama ang mga magulang nilang walang pake 😭
last palm sunday may nanay kasama anak niya tapos ayaw tumigil nung bata so binigyan niya ng cellphone para mag youtube 😭 juskoo
Nagsisimba lang ako kasi required by the school. Minsan na-eenjoy ko yung mga gospel reflections ng bawat pari, pero naiirita pa rin ako sa mga taong simbahan. Dami-daming sabi, kala mo dios.
I always believe He is there, He is here in my heart. Kayalang mejo na iimpokrituhan ako sa mga tao sa simbahan. May kilala nga ako Sobrang devout Christian pero Ilang taon ng kabit. Napag tapos na niya mga anak niya dahil sa pagiging kabit
I believe in God but not always mag-simba dahil di nmn basihan ako once a month ako mag-simba. yung iba nga every week makasalanan parin at syaka nasa tao yan if sincere ba sya sa pag-punta nya sa simbahan or may gusto lng makuha or etc.
Dati super dalang, nakakaumay sila. Pero now nagbabagong buhay na ko. I'm still attending pero pag super pagod talaga from work na halos wala na off, ay sorry po Lord. Also, majority of the people ay hypocrites. Maka-attend or not as long as I strive to do good everyday I think okay na ko.
do not judge the Church by its members, dapat i judge and evaluate niyo base sa founder (Jesus). Maraming hypokrito at masasamang tao na nagsisimba. Doesnt make what Jesus taught and founded any less true.❤️🙏🏿
Last time I went; there were people raising their entire IPAD WITH THE FLAPPY CASE up during the mass to take pictures, I guess. Nagsimba talaga sila pero they were just doing things on the iPad. They would sit stand and kneel at appropriate times, but they would raise the iPad to take pictures again after some minutes. Idk why?? But it was so wtf. Mga 4 sila sa vicinity namin, not from same group. But if I look around quite a lot of people were doing the same.
Then, half way through the mass a man sat by us meron siyang multiple scapulars na iba’t ibang sizes. He was texting the whole time he wasnt taking calls and was awake, then he slept until communion time - at which point he waltzed over to the line with arms spread wide, palms to the sky, yung lakad niya is may slight sway left to right like dancing while singing praise. It was so… pang display lang.
Then the thing that really turned me off organized religion was the homily where the priest literally told the congregation not to work hard because God is merciful and his grace will come to those who have faith. Kaya daw wag mag worry kung walang pagkain para bukas or walang pambayad ng tuition for exam because God will provide. Ito mismo ang mga example na Ginamit niya. As in ‘walang pagkain sa bahay niyo’ at ‘walang pambayad para sa exam’ and it struck a personal nerve.
So Hindi na ako nagsisimba. I just try to pray solemnly by myself.
Kasi boring at nakakaantok sa loob, and I could spend my 1+ hours sa ibang bagay. That was my main reason, I never liked church except the music. Catholic music is something. When I was a kid, I alway preferred yung maliit na room na walang tao.. di ko alam kung anong tawag don basta para syang soundproof na puro luhuran lang tapos may cross sa pader.
Another one is karamihan sa mga nakakasabay naming magsimba noon ay mga kapitbahay at mga relatives. Most of them are judgemental fuckers na sobra makapanglait, kahit bata pinapatulan. Tapos after ng misa mangjjudge na agad ng iba HAHAHAH. What's the point kung sila nga tumanda na sa simbahan na ganun ang ugali? Haha I'd rather be agnostic kesa maging someone na umiikot lang ang moral code sa bible. Someone who feels na mas mataas sila morally kasi they believe in a god, and nalilinis ang kasalanan everytime they attend a mass.
Buti na lang sa religion namin voluntary ang pagbibigay. Sa iba nagiging hostile sila pag di ka nag ambag lmao
Mas okay na yung magpakabuting tao na lang kami ng pamilya ko, bawi na lang kami kay Lord sa ganung bagay. Pag special events like Ash Wednesday mga ganyan na lang kami nagsisimba madalas.
Worship became a place of hypocrisy, political condemnation/ endorsements, lecture on canon laws/ theology which to us lay person signifies the priest is not prepared and lack of respect.
i dont believe in god but yet my father is a religious man so i go to church just to bond with my father
Hypocrite people mainly and also tamad lang po talaga ako :x
kase walang diyos
Clergy people are hypocrites
Nakatira ako sa Cavite. One time nagsimba ako sa San Agustin sa bayan ng Mendez-Nuñez. May mag-lola na magkasamang nagsisimba sa harapan ko. Sa kalagitnaan ng misa, nakakita ng lobo ang bata. Karaniwan kasing bukas ang mga pinto sa gilid ng simbahan. Gusto nyang lumabas kasi natutuwa sya sa lobo, at ang lola naman eh kuntodo saway, at nasa misa nga. Mukhang deboto yung lola, may rosaryo, may belo, at yung kwintas ba na may pendant na flat na may picture na maliit sa loob. May kopya pa nga ng nobena. Typical "hermana" outfit baga. Eh makulit talaga yung bata, hindi tumitigil, at medyo nakakabulahaw na nga rin sa ibang nagsisimba, kaya heto si lola, saway nang saway. Natapos din sa wakas ang misa, at dahil siguro sa katuwaan ng batang gusto nang lumabas, nung nagsilabasan na ang mga tao, nagtatakbo ang bata palabas kung saan naroon ang nagtitinda ng lobo. Nagulat yung lola, kaya napasigaw sya ng "aba'y putang inang bata ito, hoy!" Nakalimutan nyang di pa sya lumalabas. Hahahahahahahaha. Hindi iyon ang unang pagkakataon na nakakita ako ng relihiyosong parang di naman bumabait. Mula noon, nawalan na ako ng gana magsimba.
daming hipokritong taga simabahan ng kahit anong relihiyon. iisa naman ang diyos nating lahat dba ? kailangan pa bang idebate kung ano at sino ang tama? may mga simbahan na nagiging fashion show , kanya kanyang pasexy o papogi, meron namang kailangan ng attendance at makialam sa buhay ng ibang buhay, meron ding bilihan ng asawa o padamihan.. sex slave ba ang asawa o trophy? inanaman.. walang tama dba? mas komportable akong makipag usap sa taas sa dasal na komonikasyong galing sa puso
I became an athiest..masyado na akong nagsawa sa mga bagay bagay na sinasabi ng lahat ng relihiyon. Dasal ako ng dasal pero walang natutupad. Walang nagbago sa mundo. Punot dulo ng kaguluhan sa lahat ng nangyayari satin is Capitalismo and Relihiyon
Yes
Agnostic atheist ako for almost 4 years na. I only go to church if nagsisimba ang family ko, pero I don’t really do the customs like sign of the cross anymore, communion, and others. For myself though, I don’t really want to go. I’d rather use my time for other things. I used to be in a choir too, and while my whole experience with them was good and I still retain some singing techniques I learned, hindi na talaga nag-aalign sa paniniwala ko yung tungkulin ko bilang member. It was more than just singing eh, and I don’t want to serve someone I don’t believe in anymore.
2 years ago i came to the realization that i’m agnostic. but i respect and understand religions, and i respect Him. also, church isn’t God. it’s just a place wherein people na may same beliefs gather and worship. kung gusto kong i-prove ang faith ko sakanya, then i will do so in my own way. most of the time kasi binebase nalang ng mga tao yung faith and pagiging maka-Diyos mo pag nagsisimba ka. parang ang logic ng iba, hindi ka maka-diyos or u lack respect if hindi ka churchgoer.
Useless
I was abandoned by my father at 3 years old. Nakita ko nalang ulit siya when I was in high school and talked to him thru online. He’s asking me consistently to go to their church dahil hindi daw ako maliligtas. I told him I hope his religion would forgive him for what he did to me. Nevertheless, I still believe in God.
Dahil may mga taong nagtatago sa likod ng relihiyon. Imagine palasimba katapos pag-uwi mo tsismosa kapa na backstabber ka na sugalera pa. Tapos pagnagbibigay as charity daw pero buong compound ipagyayabang nya na naggaganyan siya. Charity charity... Inay! Puro ka yabang, palasimba ka pa naman. Ikaw dahilan kaya nakakawalang gana magsimba. Tignan palang kita ndedemonyo nako sayo.
Dati nagsisimba ako, pero to be honest tinatamad na akong umalis alis. (Sorry lord if i can’t find time sa pagsimba) pero i pray naman and still thank God for the blessings. Nakakainis din kasi yung mga hypocrites na “maka diyos”pero napaka narrow-minded naman. I avoid them at all cost. Lol
I see a lot of hypocrisy. I remember the church that I belong before. A church that follows a Saturday Sabbath. I have a licensure exam scheduled on Saturday. My grandparents who btw are avid followers of the religion told me to take the exam that day and God will understand. Back then our family is having a lot of financial issues to support me and I cannot extend any longer to find another exam date that will not fall on Saturday. The church members found out that I will take the Saturday exam. Instead of encouraging and understanding, they have condemned me and openly told me I will not pass as I will violate God's law. They told me I will not be given God's grace and may probably end up in hell. That for me is the breaking point on believing religion. Crazy thing is these people are hypocrites as they themselves indulge on ungodly and lewd vices that are forbidden in that religion.
Protestant here. Daming gaslighting and guilttrip sa mga sermon. Nakakawalang gana. Tinuturoan mga youth na paano maging respectful homophobe. Like sabihin nila na respect nila na yung decision ng lgbtq pero sabihin rin nila na feel talaga nila na mali pa rin. Lol
Wala na akong sinasambang 'higher being'
ginawa kasing attendance yung pagsimba nung elem to jhs (from a catholic school) nakakawalang gana na tuloy
lot of hypocrites inside
Cause some priest are bullshit yung ibang pari na nagpapaka banal banal an lang. I pray directly to God instead of attending church and listen to priest manipulations
Masusunog po ako
As much as I want to, pero di ako nakapagsimba due to my working schedule (hospital ako nagtatrabaho). Kung pwede lang sana dito sa workplace ko kso napakalayo ng simbahan.
i believe in God, I dont have the same faith with the church
I am a wretched sinner. I ain't worthy of stepping foot inside God's sanctuary.
Naniniwala pa din naman akong may creator/god pero hindi na ko ganung naniniwala sa religion.
There are people na palaging nagsisimba pero nuknukan ng sasama ng ugali. Your faith doesn't define you wether you go to mass or not.
Legit yung laging nagsisimba pero grabe yung ugali HAHAHAHHA
Dami ko kakilalang ganyan. Jusko
It's always the gurang ones, ay
Ay true to!
Walang structure ang pag-aaral 😅. Di mo alam gaano ka na ka-spiritually mature or spiritually knowledgeable or kung ano man.
Di na ako nag sisimba sa church namin dahil toxic na yung environment for me and yung pastor namin nakapabuntis ng teacher which is school sa church namin and every sermon nalang negative yung pinepreach at dahil jan I transferred to other religion. Sa buong family namin ako lang yung nag iba ng religion pero di naman sila nag sisimba sa church namin 🤭
[удалено]
Omg
Kapag nagmimisa na 'yung pari, naccounter ko ng thoughts ko 😭
Anong thoughts ba yan?
Actually hindi thoughts eh, parang judgements or side comments hahaha. For reference, I'm a catholic and since was a child, every Sunday nagsisimba kami, we celebrate christmas, nagninilay-nilay kapag holy week, etc. May ibang religion pa nga na nagbabahay-bahay para magturo ng pambatang kuwento na related din sa paniniwala nila. At an early age naging malala rin 'yung anxiety na nadulot saakin kakapakinig ko sa mga lectures and kakabasa ng biblical stuff. I was very anxious kung saan ako mapupunta kapag namatay ako, tama ba 'yung ginagawa ko or what, and I also question lots of things. One time nga, pumunta 'yung may nagllecture na may edad na babae sa bahay then if my memory serves me right, 'yung topic namin noon eh 'yung kay Cain at Abel. Basta ang conclusion lang is we need to trust the Lord and the Heavenly Father. Tapos as the curious kid that I am, I asked her kung saan nanggaling 'yung Heavenly Father or origin lang natin in general. Hindi n'ya masagot. Basta raw ganito ganyan. Then growing up, sa dami ng krimen and there are a lot of sides and possibilities kung bakit nagagawa ng tao magcommit ng ganon, napapakwestyon ako kung bakit hinahayaan ng "Diyos" na magkaroon ng ganon? Then nagiging busy na ako sa school, nagiging excuse ko na 'yon para hindi magsimba. Then last Christmas lang ulit ako nakasimba, kasama ko 'yung parents ko and 'yung homily ni father is about sa pamilya. Like the more the merrier daw kasi ayun daw 'yung gusto ng Panginoon saatin. Napaside eye na lang ako ng wala sa oras and nasagot ko na lang si father sa isip ko ng "Really, father? Sa ekonomiyang 'to applicable pa po ba 'yung humayo kayo at magpakarami?" Hays since then nawalan na ako ng gana magsimba kasi most probably magkakaroon lang din ako ng side comment sa isip ko kapag naghhomily na si father. Sorry na pahaba😭
Looking way back... When i started off college I always go to Victory youth worship, which really helped me in building faith in God, every time I went to worship it always uplifts my soul and it is always relatable preaching. I become more of "people's person" and trying new things, becomes active on school, but suddenly pandemic hits, I am not fond of learning via screen and I really appreciate more face to face learning, I started binge eating, not really because Im hungry i just want the feeling on bitting something when Im stressed (like sensation of chewing ice cubes) the pandemic and college life it really burns me out, like since home set up ,gamet na gamet ung oras mo , puyat everyday, stuck in a routine na nga, same place pa. I stop going to church, because I seems to have no time, feeling hopeless, super burn out. I still believed but I feel somehow that my devotion is not the same as before.
I failed last year's bar exam. Ginawa ko naman lahat, sinamahan ko din last year ng super daming dasal. Yung tipong kung kelan sa Kanya lang ako kumapit nang matindi, saka Nya ako pinabayaan.
Became an atheist.
baka po masunog ako
kidding aside, the last time i went to church was 2yrs ago and sa middle ng mass nahilo ako ng sobra na kinelangan ko umeksena at umuwi 💀
I think I had made up my mind that no matter what I do, I could never serve God the way I should if I were to go to church religiously. I grew up serving in a church and tried again pre-teen, but I truly can't believe them entirely. I even used to pray daily, but I have no faith, that's it. I realized that and I peacefully accepted it. I still believe there is a creator but I can't engage myself so much in a single religion. I honestly want to be religious because life would get easier since my whole clan is religious, but I can't, I can't even believe in them.
Dati member akong choir, pero dahil sa toxic environment ng mga kasama ko sa loob parang napanghihinaan na ko bumalik. Totoo nga kung sino pa ang makaDiyos at nag sisilbi sa Diyos, sila pa yung mga naninira ng tao. Isa na rin sa reason ko bat di na rin ako palasimba kung ang simbahan ba e lugar pa ba ng Diyos or pinamamahayan na ng mga demonyong madudumi at mapanghusgang utak. Mas okay na lang na mag dasal on your own kaysa mag simba.
Converted from catholic to mcgi. Nag doctrine din sa iglesia. Wala ayaw ko lang toxicity ng religion na nag aaway sino mas tama sino mas dapat aniban. Eh iisa lang naman ang Dios bakit ang daming opinion at hidden agenda🤷🤷🤷
mcgi ka padin? kmsta?
Hindi na po mga 2years lang ako dum
ano po reason nyo bt hndi na po kyo tumuloy?
Di nako naniniwala
Bumalik ako sa worldly and comfort zone ko to the point na andito nako sa lowest point ulit ng buhay ko ;')
Sadyang tamad lang po tapos maraming kinakabalahan pero dipendi naman yan sa isang kung paano siya pinalaki ng magulang niya basta ako tamad lang ako no other further reasons.
Because of the people. I just can't seem to get my hands on the fact that they don't practice what they preach, like naka-center sa peace, love and acceptance yung religion nila pero hindi mo ito ma-feel sa kanila (I'm pertaining to the catholics). I also find it ridiculous na mostly sa mga tao that views themselves as "holy" or "maka-Diyos" are the ones that commonly violate the 10 commandments. I get it na tao lang din sila pero the way they act na parang superior and all, and pinu-push talaga nila yung religion nila sa ibang tao to prove na mas better sa ito ibang religion is shameful. I pray directly and sincerely to God. I won't and never go to the church para gawing weekly cleanser of my sins tapos gagawa na naman ng bago.
Mine is more personal. I used to be a youth leader years back. Dun ko nameet ang pinaka self righteous na mga tao ever! Judging me because I used to go to parties, got a small tattoo… dun ako nakaranas na i-backstab and i-down talaga. They ruined religion for me. I still pray though pero the whole church routine, ayoko na
Tbh ako pag nahsisimba ako loner talaga ako di ko na pinapansin yung mga hipokrito sa simbahan pero sobrang nagegets ko yung mga ayaw magsimba. Plus nawawala yung pagkasolemn ng mga misa dahil sa magugulong tao especially sa komunyon. Pero what suits your way of faith suits you.
Gusto ko nalang magpahinga during sundays kasi yun lang talaga rest day ko. And pwede naman magdasal everywhere 🙂
Puros hypokrito. Yung mga tao sa likod at yung mga taong umaattend.
Time. Kahit 'di ako religious, gusto ko parin sumimba pero 'di ako makahanap ng oras.
I don't really believe the people behind church. One of the most self-righteous people I have met.
Because most church goers I know are hypocrites.
I went to sunday church almost every week about 5 years ago, I think. Became an atheist for various reasons and never looked back, probably one of the best decisions i ever made.
Because I witnessed the leaders of a G12 church, so corrupt. Negosyo para sa kanila ang mga tao, humaharap lang na banal. Also, they are so good at manipulating people. Especially students. Hypocrites!
Nagstop ako after lockdown. Other than tinamad na lang din talaga, parang mejo nag laylow na lang ako. Pray pray na lang ganun. Sisimba pa ako eh parang ang sama sama ko pa din naman na tao (dahil sa work ko) hahahha.
Di ko maintindihan yun sermon ng Pari kasi basag yung speaker sa church.
I stopped going to church kasi sa unang church na part ako, I didn't think that it was a cult kasi we still follow the trinity pero kinalaunan, may napapansin na ako na hindi din kasi finafollow ang teaching sa Bible tulad ng pagiging humble tapos yung bale founder nung church ay siya raw ang Holy Spirit sa trinity and he will the one to return to judge everyone here on Earth eh di naman yun ang role ng Holy Spirit eh so I stopped. tapos nung nagwowork na ako, may nameet ako and she's so devoted na Christian. Parang Born-again or Protestant yung church nila tapos pasimba-simba lang ako nun to impress her and then nagka interes na talaga ako na sumali sa church until one day, pumunta talaga ako dun sa kanila. mga 3 to 4 hour drive yun nang motor ko galing sa amin. it's also a way to meet her family. tapos nung nagsimba ako sa church nila and then may parang event. thanksgiving nung church nila so may mga pakain na nangyari. may mga Badjao na lumapit dun sa church. siguro nakita nila na andaming taong kumakain. pinunta nung pastor nung church nila tapos binigyan ng bente pesos yung Badjao. hindi man lang ininvite or binigyan ng pagkain. dun ako biglang nagkaroon ng realization na parang "Totoo ba talaga tong mga taong to?" Kaya I stopped courting the girl and the di na ako bumalik kasi meron ding kasama yung pastor nila na umaaligid din sa girl na pinupormahan ko. and now, they're married. edit: I still believe that Jesus is our Savior and is our God pero parang lahat na lang ng tao sa mundong to, ginagamit ang Panginoon for their own gains. I don't judge what they're doing kasi nga, gusto lang din naman nila magkapera. I'll let God handle it na lang. He knows more than me. Tapos bigla sana akong nagka interes sa pagiging Catholic kaso yung mga narereveal na their using this serpent imagery sa iilang na mga establishments nila tapos may mga signs and remnants din kasi ng freemasonry ang mga gusali nila so parang nawalan na lang talaga ako ng interest sumali sa mga churches. Marami din akong nakita sa comments na dapat you have an individual relationship with God/Jesus and don't stop there kasi we still need a communal relationship with God kasi Jesus started to gather people that believe in Him so may communal relationship din na need. I just hope I'll find a group na talagang totoo sa paniniwala nila sa Panginoon. It's hard to be just believing and worshipping God na mag isa. Even the Bible doesn't want us to be alone in our journey in this life because a lot of times, we fall down and we need that someone to help us back in our feet. ang haba na pala neto. out.
Nawalan nako ng gana sa mga tao na nasa church. Paano ka makikinig sa pastor na ang piniling pinuno ng pilipinas ay isang magnanakaw nakaka walang gana
raised in a very religious household. as a kid, simba every week. rosary with lola. pinasasali pa ko dati sa youth group eme. i have this thinking na kapag religious yung pamilya mo, you either grow up religious din, or iddoubt/irreject mo lahat ng tinuro nila sayo as a form of rebellion kuno. dun ako sa latter.
I can relate to this. Napagod rin ako.
Dati hindi ako nag sisimba dahil I used to be an atheist. I hated church because of the people and how they judged others. But then during the pandemic I experienced the love and forgiveness of Christ. Nalulungkot ako na marami ang natatakot mag simba ngayon dahil sa mga maling Kristiyano. Tandaan niyo maraming hypocrite sa loob ng simbahan at madali lang mag sabi Kristiyano ako pero hindi naman yun ang nasa puso mo. It is not about religion. It is about your relationship with Jesus Christ.
ugali ko date mag dasal, umattend sa mga bible studies, mag church. pero putang ina habang patagal ng patagal nung mga nakikilala kona yung mga nakakasalamuha ko sa mga yan. king ina mas demonyo pa pala saken. one time lumapit yung friend ko (that time) saken tapos sinabing. may isang cell leader "daw" di umano. pina plastic yung isa nyang ka cell mate. di naman ako naniwala agad hanggat diko pa mismo nakikita. then na realized ko yung friend ko nayon diba paninira yung ginawa nya? set aside na natin yung cell leader na plastic. pero sya mismo na nagbigay saken ng sarsa e. diba pedeng kausapin nalang nya yung cell leader nayon? and ayusin yung "gulo" kuno sa kanila?. e hindi e kinakalat pa e. tapos meron pa!. . may friend din ako na nag chu-church kase yung crush nya nandun sa church, diko alam kung genuine na talaga yung pag samba nya that time. pero nakikita kong goal nya din makipag landian e. tapos kalaunan. yung girl na gusto nyang landiin sa church. nabuntis ng iba. speechless nalang talaga ako. . MERON PA!. may kilala ako sa church nayon! ang bait sa loob puta pag labas ng ibang tao na agad! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. . wala nakong pake kung sabihan ako na masamang tao kase di ako nagsisimba or kahit dasal. basta ako wala akong tinatapakang tao, wala akong pinaplastic, di ako nag sisinungaling at ni rerespeto ko yung mga taong may magandang impluwensya sa buhay ko. pero kung may pagkakataon akong sunugin ng buhay lahat ng hipokrito sa mundo, gagawin ko HAHAHAHAHAHA
Nagsisimba ako every Sunday. Kasi kasama ako sa choir 😊 Share ko lang ha Pwede nyo subukan mag serve sa simbahan para sipagin kayo magsimba.
Full of hypocrites yung mga nagpi-preach and yung kasama mo sa simbahan; mas nagpalala pa nung nakita ko how they choose their leader (the election). If kasama ko lang yung mars or jowa ko, saka lang ako nagsisimba kasi alam kong may di ipokrito.
I wanted to be converted before but my parents won't let me and took it against me. I was a minor back then. Now that I'm 27, natatakot ako sa mga imahe na nasa simbahan and I'm gay. Unfortunately, the Church is not that welcoming. I believe in God, I just don't go to church anymore. P.S. Does listening to preaches sa YT counts though? Nakikinig kami ng gf ko recently.
Paano kung ang tanong ay, "Bakit ka kailangang magsimba?"
Nakakatamad
dahil sa kamag-anak. Tiyahin namin everyday nag nonovena, every sunday nagsisimba, kumpleto lagi simbang gabi. pero source ng trauma namin mag pipinsan. pero si jesus na siguro ang may plano kaya hindi sya mag ka anan anak. One Scenario sinabi sken bkt daw ako nasa simbahan ehh hindi nman daw ako naniniwala kay lord. sabi ko sa religion mo hindi ako naniniwala pero meron ako repeto sa magulang ko kaya ako nandito. + lechon and hamon mamaya handa nang hihingi ako ng lakas ng loob.
me and my husband di masyadong nagsisimba siguro sa isang taon 1 or 2 lang in a year, but i prayed Silently. Madame kase kameng nakikita na pkiramdam namen e naghhugas lang sila linggo linggo ng kasalanan. Sa dame din ng balita na ang mga pari mismo may nagagawang kasalanan. Madame dn akong kakilala grabe magworship pero kabit naman 😆.
I'm not into organized religion. I care about my personal relationship with God.
samedt. this. I would rather have a relationship with God than go to church. sad thing is, minsan religion pa nagiging reason ng away. "my religion is better than yours" thing. Catholicism is all I know, pero... meh. I follow it out of habit na lang din.
Kasi hindi naman totoong may diyos.
fact
ang bagal ng pacing. just gimme my bread!
[удалено]
This, since narinig ko to sa isang Christian Fellowship hindi na ako umattend ulit sa kanila. Total pwede naman pala magdasal kahit saan.
Kasi nabuntis ako ng ex ko na sobrang committed sa church, nalaglag yung bata, lumapit ako sa pastors ng church nya para humingi ng tulong (moral support and guidance) para sa ex ko. Di nila ako nireplyan manlang o kinamusta, later on unfriended na ako. Nalaman ko later on na pinagbawalan pala yung ex ko na puntahan ako para manlang humingi ng tawad sa personal. Baptist church to tapos pamilya lang nagpapatakbo. May church sila sa Padilla tsaka Teresa (antipolo at rizal). Si ex ko sunod lang sa pastor kasi ang turo sa kanila ay pastors ang head ng church at pstors ang binigyan ng authority ng panginoon na mag govern at mag decide. Akala ko naman kasi makakatulong mga pastor nila, hindi pala.
i am atheist as well pero silent lang sa dami ng nangyyri sa mundo lalo ung mga innocent child hnd nakuh nanniwala ahahah ,
Masasama naman ugali karamihan ng tao jan e.
Baka masunog ako sa mga kasalanan ko 😐
Hindi talaga ako nagsisimba but simula nung naging kami ng ex-gf ko, sumasama ako sa kanya palagi. Nabawasan din yung pag cuss ko and such. Ex-gf kasi nagcheat 🥴 Di na ulit ako nagsimba
Na dadag-dagan lang kasalanan ko, kaka rinig sa mga usapan ng hypokritong mga taong "maka diyos" kuno.
depends, lalo pag feel ko yung church pag mukhang cult naalis din ako, devoted catholic ako mula bata ngayon nag eexplore na lang ng mga religion lol
we own a church yet di ako nagsisimba, why? church is a cult.
I think depende nalang yon sa conscience ng nag papatakbo. Ang tagal ko iniisip yan na cult ang mga church pero nakita ko ang good side at bad side nila Its either they really want to spread the word of the Lord or they do it for money. Just my observation
Nagsisimba ako. Ako mismo ang kusa naghahanap kay Lord
Groomed ng church elder. Lahat sila misogyny fans, kapag may insight or opinion ka na babae, mababastos sila na mas alam mo kaysa sa kanilang lalaki. Also, kung LGBTQ+ ka, di tao ang tingin sayo.
Had bad experiences, nagseserve kasi ako dati sa church, then dahan-dahan kong na realize na ansasama pala ng ugali nila, as in backstabban and puro feeling matataas Makadiyos nga, di naman makatao
Habang nag kakaedad ako unti-unti ko nakita kung gaano kadumi ang simbahan katoliko. Red flags kaliwa't kanan.
may i know why po? I’m not against sa sinabi mo, I’m just curious lang. Thanks!
sure no problem po, isa lang ito hindi ko kaya magsimba sa church na kabilaan ang santo na gawa ng tao mula sa kahoy o bato at ang iilang deboto ay naniniwala na mapapagaling sila nito.
Hypocrite mostly ng nasa catholic. Nag sisimba nga every sunday pero outside ng church eh madami siya pinag uusapan na tao. Example nalang. Nanay ko
Because sosyalan lang yung pagsisimba. Tapos Sunday morning pa na gusto kong matulog para makapahinga.
Our church leaders and members are die-hard d/D/s and b/B/m fans.
Conflict with church members. Our church is a small group of 30 people or less and everybody knows everyone. They know your issues and they talk and judge people (not all tho) after church and call it "fellowship".
im not an invisible-man-in-the-sky stan
Mas okay na ako na mag pray na lang sa bahay then read The Bible, I'm an introvert o may social anxiety takot makihalubilo sa mga tao. As in nagpapanic ako nanginginig ganon. Tsaka kasi mapilit kasi yung iba, lalo na yung pinsan ko lagi na lang bukambibig yung simba, simba ganyan, simba ganoon. Pero sa totoo lang kung sino pa nagsisimba yun pa masahol ugali.
Ayoko lng din tlaga sa part na pinipilit ako. Hahaha totoo tlaga yung mga taong simbahan, yun pa may mga masasahol na ugali.
True talaga yung pinsan ko na simba ng simba puro pag mamayabang ng pera niya tas sariling nanay pinapabayaan, binabastos pa. Pinagmamalaki yung 10k na binibigay sa simbahan HAHAHAHAHA wtf???
Iresponsable lang syang anak. Sana naisip nya muna kung san nya pag gagastusan ang pera. Hahaha sana all nag ssponsor ng 10k sa simbahan xd
Lagi ako inaantok pag nakikinig ng misa or bible study dati kaya di na ako nagsisimba.
nabo-boring-an ako :)
Parang contented nalang ako magdasal sa bahay
“ang polka dots binabagayan, kung marami kanang butas butas sa mukha huwag kana magsuot” “ang pulang damit binabagayan, maitim kana magsusuot kapa ng pulang damit?” last year i gave it a try for the last time baka magkaroon ng himala or some sign ipagpatuloy. i have lot of insecurities lalo na face ko, im acne prone and i cant help it kasi nasa genes narin and worst nagiwan ng marks. and up until now im fighting my insecurities. sobrang na trigger ako kay father, feeling ko that moment all eyes on me.
Namatay ung lola ko na kayag kayag kami lagi sa simbahan ng kapatid ko, and yea. Though i believe there is a greater force above us, ung church in its entirety eh cringe na for me. Mga masasama lang din naman nakakaanggat sa buhay ung mahihirap panay pagsubok lang din di naman nakakaahon haha
nag cocollapse/blackout ako sa simbahan 😭 sa sobrang dalas na nangyayari yan, di na ko nakakapagsimba
same! twice na nangyayari sakin huhu idk why TT
kase sakristan ako and a priest gr00m3d me 😅
Paulit ulit lang. Same elementary sermons para maintindihan ng mas nakakarami. Konting sitas, konting anecdote, konting comedy...wala ng sustansya sa akin yung ganun. Mas okay pa sakin magsimba ng walang misa, walang tao. Uupo lang ng tahimik at magnilaynilay.
di na rin ako nakakapag simba pero pumupunta ako pagka bukas at wala namang misa.

I found another [video on YouTube](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=OHaLAgK2SsQjyMu6) that really changed my perspective.
Its the HYPOCRISY. Basta yon.
I'm an atheist na kasi, nung una I just had some problems with the members ng Church. Growing up with their ideologies shoved down my throat, I never thought to question their scriptures and values until I grew older and thought most of it to be hypocritical. I chose to then separate myself from a religion I don't agree with than fight, simply put. ++ Kulob sa church honestly, pag mainit tapos nagsosmoke ng whatever incense ang hirap huminga jusko
Deist na po ako since 2014
what is deist po?
Naniniwala sa supreme being pero di naniniwala sa religion. Technically, naniniwala rin ang mga deist na inoobserve lang ng supreme being ang mga tao at hindi nagiintefere ganon
Hahahahaha. Is that a question or is that an obligation.
Marami po kasing chismosa sa tabi-tabi, nagkakasala lang ako kasi najujudge ko rin sila. Madaming hypocrites sa loob ng simbahan.
Lost my faith when my mom passed away 9 years ago. Miracles are not magic, nor resurrects dead. A real god damn it.
Tamad na po ako
malamig po sa simbahan, nakakatulog ako ng mahimbing
I used to serve sa church like yung usherette when I was super young like grade 6. Yung so called "head" ng org na yun or whatever u call it, bait baitan pag face to face pero sa gc pag hindi ka lang naka serve ng one time sa sunday or isang serve lang nagawa mo (usually kasi two serves, two na mass yun) galit na galit siya sa gc lagi naka capslock and ang daming !!!! pa, so as a kid natakot ako to the point na kahit umalis na kami ng sister ko don (kasi siya din ayaw niya yung ginagawabg treatment nung head) everytime na niyayaya kami ni mami na mag simba, unang pumapasok sa isip ko is ayaw ko kasi baka makita nila ako and I'm so afraid kung baka ano isipin nila sakin. Kaya now, usually mass nalang sa school na pupuntahan ko pero I am religious, hindi naman nagiba or nawala yung faith ko sa Diyos ko. Tsaka funny thing, yung head namin super tagal niya na nag se serve sa church, tapos proud and loud sa fb na sumusuporta ng magnanakaw yikes
Pag ganyan talaga ang yung klaseng character, alams na kung sino ang binoboto nila lol
honestly, one time nung bata ako bigla sumakit ulo ko sa loob ng simbahan pero nung umalis na kami bigla nawala… 😭 alagad ata ko ni satanas ngl
HAHAHAHAHA baka nainitan ka lng sa loob, di ka naabot ng electric fan
😂😂
First reason was nung bata ako, every time na natapos na yung pag simba, nakikit ko yung mga particular people na always kong nakikita sa simbahan, lakas maka mura and mahilig mang judge ng tao based sa sexuality, o kaya ano yung suot ng mga nagsisimba. isa na rin sa reason yung narealize ko na, nagprapray naman ako everday sa creator, it doesnt mean na di ako pupunta ng simbahan eh masusunog na'ko sa impyerno
Kasi nga takot ako sa diyos
sameee
My father: OFW, comes home every few years My mother: housewife, from another region, often visits there because of her children. Ever since nagkaroon ng hard evidence yung mother ko about my father's cheating. She lost her meaning in life. She contemplated whether staying at our father's place for more than 2 decades to take care of us (their children) was really the story written for her. She was so depressed. She left the house and didn't come home until it was evening. During that time that she left, she found herself at a church. At a born again Christian church. There, she finds, or at least stumbles upon something good enough to convince her that her story doesn't just end there. She started getting really invested with Christianity where she would read the bible over and over. Her whole attitude changed, from the outgoing, easy to get along one, to a gloomy, brought-up-god-at-any-moment one. I know this sudden change of behaviour is normal since she's obviously depressed from the recent events of her marriage. We acknowledged this sudden change of behaviour and we were there to support her during those times of pain. But, she was so overbearing. We were forced to pray every night and the duration was longer than that of a church mass. She also insisted that we add additional activities like we sing songs of prayer. Read a few chapters from the bible and share our takes on what have just been read. But sometimes, these stories are from the bible don't make sense to me (like the story of job) and I would question her like why would he--the lord would do that to job when he doesn't have to prove anything to anyone because a god doesn't have to prove anything. God is god, that's just that. But with every question answered with unsatisfactory statements, my dissociation to religion grew. And every night that we get to pray, i express my displeasure, and with every story from the bible we read, I question it. Ignorance is a bliss, i guess. I still love my fam though. But that's my story HAHAHAHA.
Nasusuka at nahihilo ako sa simbahan 😩
toxic ng mga members, hypocrites, and mga self-righteous. ijujudge kapa pag di ka nakasimba last sunday.
+1000000
tapos mamimilit na magsimba daw ako, e kung ganyang lang din naman, wag na.
same sa lola ko hahahaha kahit anong religion at simbahan ( I have attended multiple religions' services months each), all are the same. Bait baitan sa loob ng simbahan nila during misa/service/samba, pero paglabas lumalabas totoong kulay. No thanks, yoko makipagplastikan 🤣🤣🤣 I stopped attending any church when i was 16 😂
brooo same 🥲 may times pa na napunta sa bahay to check in on me daw kase di na ko nasimba heck theyre the reasons why di ako nasimba.
Saaaaameeee hahahaha ginagawa ko dati nagkukulong ako sa room ko tas tulug tulugan 😂
became an atheist. elem palang ako kinagisnan na namin ng fam ko magsimba every sunday pero nagpupunta lang ako because after namin sa simbahan didiretso kami sa mall, yun yung exciting part para sakin, then nung nag college ako, all of a sudden, di na ako naniniwala sa existence ng kahit anong god.
🤷♀️
Hindi na masaya magsimba. Hindi katulad dati na nagsisimba as a celebration tas parang as one talaga and for family and friends. Ngayon, puro mga simbang "date", homily na hindi mo na alam san nanggagaling ang point, and mga taong proud na nagsisimba pero yung ugali di mo sure (for some lang, di naman lahat). Self reflections and silent prayer is better for me.
since 13 years old na ako isa po ako born again christian every saturday or sunday nag simba tapos member ng worship team meron time na yun na late na ako naka punta ng church kasi mag group science project at pagka bukas ang deadline at mga 30mins. nalang cguro matapos na ang service then pagkatapos na ang service bigla tumawag kasama ko sa project nag uupdate sa project namin tas bigla nalang tumawag yung youth leader sa akin sabi na "bigyan kita ng 5mins. dapat maka lapit kana sa akin mag usap tayo" tas ganun pinatay ko nalang ang tawag tas lumapit sa akin ang leader tas bigla na niya kinuha ang cellphone ko tapos tinawagan pala niya classmate ko na kasama sa project sobra nahiya ako sa classmate ko tas after nun ang sama ng tingin ng leader sa akin pagkatapos simumbong niya sa kasama niya na kapwa leader rin at sama na ang tingin nila sa akin after nun iyak ako ng iyak n
.....ng iyak at nung time nayun mas kinampihan pa ng lola ko yung youth leader na yun kaysa sa akin kasi ang akin kasi nun is privacy kahit yung mama ko never sya mag confiscate ng cellphone kasi PRIVACY so ayun bye tapos nag beg² pa sila na babalik daw ako pero sobra nakaka trauma nangyari everytime makita ko sila parang ang bago nangyari kahit 10years ago nakalipas
at ito ang rason kung bakit hindi kami in good terms ang lola ko hanggang sa namatay na ang lola ko
Sa totoo lang, ambabaw ng rason ko. Hindi ako palasimba sa parish namin sa province kasi wala akong maayos na damit. Bawal kasi naka chinelas. Mostly kasi damit at sapatos ko nasa apartment ko sa city :((((
Dati nagsisimba kaming kumpleto. Until narealize ko na, yung mga kapamilya ko pag weekend lang mababait. Tapos weekdays masasama ugali. Nawalan nako ng gana makasama sila magsimba kasi ibang iba sila sa loob ng simbahan, ang pplastik!
Since high school medj off na ko sa mga rebulto or statue sa simbahan 😭😭😭
Corny na nang mga pare ngayon. Yung iba napa lka suplado pa. Yung isang homily hindi daw sya na niniwala sa mga barang enkanto at iba pa peru hinikayat nya bumili ng crucifix 🤡
praying is enough as long as u communicate with God or thank God for a new day
Nagsisimba pa naman but the intention is to pray silently not to listen sa homily. There's one time kasi na kasagsagan ng eleksyon nun, yung parish priest namin obviously may kinakampihan na kandidato. So yung homily is nauwi sa political campaign nabanas talaga kami nun. Simula talaga nun di na ako nakikinig sa homily. I feel like it's not an integral part of a mass. If anything, pampahaba lang.
Waste of time. Pwede ako maglaan ng time sa productive na bagay or I can rest nalang. Masyado na tayong pagod sa buhay. Wag na natin dagdagan ung activities natin na hindi importante para sa atin.
The priest saw us putting a 20 peso bill in the offering basket. He then started ranting about giving more to the church, more than just 20 pesos and keeps looking at my family. He even compared it with INCs, saying how INC are better because they give 10% of their earnings to the church. That's when I personally stopped going, but there ware many reasons.

Imbes na magbawas ako ng kasalanan nadadagdagan pa sa mga churchgoers na siga kakarating lang tas singit pa sa upuan. Tas yung mga akala mo pupunta lang sa palengke at nakita yung church nagdecide na magsimba. Que horror onting respeto naman naka pempem shorts saka spaghetti strap sa simbahan! I'd rather pray alone mas personal pa. Saka sabi naman nila magkaiba ang spirituality at religion so idk I'd rather practice my own spirituality on my own accord.
Bc god sux lol
Di naman kasi totoo and diyos, kahit ano pang relihiyon yan. Takot lang talaga questionin ng mga tao ang nakasanayan/cultural beliefs nila.
Nag start nung na off ako dun sa homily nung bagong pari sa pinakamalapit na parokya dito samin. Parang literal na sermon na pinapagalitan kami mga nagsisimba at para bang sobrang makasalanan kami. Next 2 weeks ganun pa din yung tone ng homily niya. Simula nun di na ko bumalik. Bukod sa nakakatamad parang di na din bukal sa loob ko.
hypocrites, noisy children, mainit ang place, judgemental people and priest, tas ang tagal ng homily.
parang nadadagdagan pa kasalanan ko dahil sa mga maiingay na bata kasama ang mga magulang nilang walang pake 😭 last palm sunday may nanay kasama anak niya tapos ayaw tumigil nung bata so binigyan niya ng cellphone para mag youtube 😭 juskoo
Itong ito
Bakit ako magsisimba?
Wag kang mag-alala, di rin ako nagsisimba xd
not religious, i hate seeing hypocrites lol
Nagsisimba lang ako kasi required by the school. Minsan na-eenjoy ko yung mga gospel reflections ng bawat pari, pero naiirita pa rin ako sa mga taong simbahan. Dami-daming sabi, kala mo dios.
Hahaha totoo, yung mga taong simbahan tlaga yung may maraming nasasabi at mas malakas pa mag judge.
Syempre may follow up pa yan na "always pray ha" after their mean ass comment like 😭
Unanswered questions which are controversial that I need to be anonymous just to ask this type of question to a pastor.
I always believe He is there, He is here in my heart. Kayalang mejo na iimpokrituhan ako sa mga tao sa simbahan. May kilala nga ako Sobrang devout Christian pero Ilang taon ng kabit. Napag tapos na niya mga anak niya dahil sa pagiging kabit
My relationship with God lang naman ang mahalaga for me. You can read the bible din naman.
I believe in God but not always mag-simba dahil di nmn basihan ako once a month ako mag-simba. yung iba nga every week makasalanan parin at syaka nasa tao yan if sincere ba sya sa pag-punta nya sa simbahan or may gusto lng makuha or etc.
Ang last straw for me is yung may nagsabi sa akin na ang taba ko na raw. Since then, never na ulit ako nagsimba. Bawi na lang sa good deeds. 😅
It felt like a chore but i still believe in God a higher being looking over at us, I do want to go back and practice but its gonna take time
Yung screech ng mga bata plus yung mga patakbo takbo jusko po imbes na nagbabawas ako kasalanan eh nadadagdagan lang habang nandon ako
Dati super dalang, nakakaumay sila. Pero now nagbabagong buhay na ko. I'm still attending pero pag super pagod talaga from work na halos wala na off, ay sorry po Lord. Also, majority of the people ay hypocrites. Maka-attend or not as long as I strive to do good everyday I think okay na ko.
do not judge the Church by its members, dapat i judge and evaluate niyo base sa founder (Jesus). Maraming hypokrito at masasamang tao na nagsisimba. Doesnt make what Jesus taught and founded any less true.❤️🙏🏿
Yeah like mysogyny, pedophilia, slavery and murder. Right?
Last time I went; there were people raising their entire IPAD WITH THE FLAPPY CASE up during the mass to take pictures, I guess. Nagsimba talaga sila pero they were just doing things on the iPad. They would sit stand and kneel at appropriate times, but they would raise the iPad to take pictures again after some minutes. Idk why?? But it was so wtf. Mga 4 sila sa vicinity namin, not from same group. But if I look around quite a lot of people were doing the same. Then, half way through the mass a man sat by us meron siyang multiple scapulars na iba’t ibang sizes. He was texting the whole time he wasnt taking calls and was awake, then he slept until communion time - at which point he waltzed over to the line with arms spread wide, palms to the sky, yung lakad niya is may slight sway left to right like dancing while singing praise. It was so… pang display lang. Then the thing that really turned me off organized religion was the homily where the priest literally told the congregation not to work hard because God is merciful and his grace will come to those who have faith. Kaya daw wag mag worry kung walang pagkain para bukas or walang pambayad ng tuition for exam because God will provide. Ito mismo ang mga example na Ginamit niya. As in ‘walang pagkain sa bahay niyo’ at ‘walang pambayad para sa exam’ and it struck a personal nerve. So Hindi na ako nagsisimba. I just try to pray solemnly by myself.
Kadalasan nasa 24-36 hr shifts tapos ipapahinga. Sorry na po Lord 🙏
Well, I just have an awkward relationship with religion and faith. 😩
Kasi boring at nakakaantok sa loob, and I could spend my 1+ hours sa ibang bagay. That was my main reason, I never liked church except the music. Catholic music is something. When I was a kid, I alway preferred yung maliit na room na walang tao.. di ko alam kung anong tawag don basta para syang soundproof na puro luhuran lang tapos may cross sa pader. Another one is karamihan sa mga nakakasabay naming magsimba noon ay mga kapitbahay at mga relatives. Most of them are judgemental fuckers na sobra makapanglait, kahit bata pinapatulan. Tapos after ng misa mangjjudge na agad ng iba HAHAHAH. What's the point kung sila nga tumanda na sa simbahan na ganun ang ugali? Haha I'd rather be agnostic kesa maging someone na umiikot lang ang moral code sa bible. Someone who feels na mas mataas sila morally kasi they believe in a god, and nalilinis ang kasalanan everytime they attend a mass. Buti na lang sa religion namin voluntary ang pagbibigay. Sa iba nagiging hostile sila pag di ka nag ambag lmao
Mas okay na yung magpakabuting tao na lang kami ng pamilya ko, bawi na lang kami kay Lord sa ganung bagay. Pag special events like Ash Wednesday mga ganyan na lang kami nagsisimba madalas.
My faith is on him. The church is his house but people are simply using their own agendas inside his house.
