The past two weeks I have attended a religious affiliated service here on campus. It was one evening each week. I was initially invited to go with my neighbor. I turned him down the first time with the excuse that I had homework I was working on, which wasn't a complete lie. The truth though was that when he told me it was a religious thing I kinda freaked. I've never really gone to or been involved with religion in any way. But being nice I told him maybe another time. Part of me didn't expect him to stop by again, but two weeks later he did. So, I went. I was surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did, though I still definitely felt awkward and out of place. Then I went for the second time this past week. It was still enjoyable for the most part, but I think it's the actual sermon that's givin at the end of the gathering that is what bothers me. Up until that point things are great and I'm fine, but then the guy starts preaching. The first week nothing major was really said that bothered me. This past week however, I disagreed with several things said. I know people are entitled to their opinions, but I don't like how an opinion is more or less pushed upon those attending. Anyways, I'm not sure yet if I'll continue to go. I don't know if it's right for me. Not to mention I don't own a Bible and don't plan on buying one anytime soon. The people there are really nice, some seem a little fake like they are hiding who they really are. That's another thing I don't like. The overall gathering is fun. But I think I may be going for the wrong reasons. It's something I've been trying to evaluate in myself. I have a suspicion that the only reason I consider continuing is because I kind of like the guy who is asking me to go. Which I know isn't the right reason for going. Who knows, I have some more thinking to do before that time next week.
