It's a rigidly structured 3 hours of acting like I know how to sit still, followed by evening church where you see how much better everyone else is at everything. Still very structured.

What I mean to say is, older people like it more than me.

My church is nominally baptist, but our services are only like an hour long, plus Sunday school in the morning, before the service.

Being forced to sit and listen to the pastors read the bible chapter and then asked what it was about. I already knew so much that I ended up just sitting there dying of boredom and listening to other children argue about what it means and the pastors finding it cute.

So merrily engaging in theological discussions with your peers and members of the clergy is not your definition of a jolly good time.

Best to do something useful with the time you are forced to spend on religious affairs because of your parents or other entities with power over you.
