Why do people go to church?

[The Bird Lady]

I heard recently that 17 percent of people in the US go to church on Sunday mornings. Those who go----why do they go? Those who don't ---- why don't they. When I was seven I was invited to Sunday School and a bus picked me up and brought me home. I went there for 3 years and was promoted. Big deal. I couldn't stand the teacher and finally stopped going. After a year a neighbor invited me to her church and I played in the orchestra. I don't know what spiritual benefits I got while there but I had a lot of friends. I was 13 when I went on a "social". It was a hayride and I got kissed for the first time (by a boy.) But when I was 14 I went to a camp meeting and for the first time. going to church was spiritual and not social. Sixtry two years have passed since then. More in the next post.
