Let's All Improve This World By Growing A Pair

 *Random* I agree 100% with this. Unless it is said all the time, like by a spouse or parent (which is then crossing over to verbal abuse), just laugh it off and move on. If someone insults you, just remember that they are probably the unintelligent ones or the ones that have problems. Who cares what people think about you anyway?

 I agree with you completely. A lot of people are just trying to get a rise out of someone else by calling them names and pushing their button. I guess there's a certain maturity you reach where you don't care about what people have to say about you, ha.

Everything Is Funny If You Let It Be.

I think this is the one thing the Internet has taught me that is a positive influence on my life. I've come to appreciate jokes about celebrities that just died, stereotypes, and international tragedies.

Why Did You Bother Going To Church Today?
|
|
Church seems to be for fellowship and education. You go to be with like-minded people, and you go to learn more about your religion. If you're being judged at church, it just means you're obviously going to hell and your parishioners were just trying to help you realize that. And if you don't go to church, the money buckets get lonely and go to the closet to multiply with the coat hangers. And if there is God, I hope he has a sense of humor, otherwise I'm boned.

Catholics believe, as MadeToShine said, that the Holy Eucharist is the body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus. You can't receive the Holy Eucharist just anywhere, therefore the time and space of Mass is believed to be sacred. Yes, God IS everywhere but Catholics believe that Jesus's real, literal presence is at Mass, in the tabernacle or the altar, depending on which part of Mass it is. Mass is where people can come together and worship Him and learn more about Him and His sacrifice for us.
However, we are also expected to dedicate our lives to God, therefore everything we do should be offered as a way to praise Him, so yes He is also everywhere else and we should act as imitators of Him.

I used to believe the "God is everywhere" rhetoric, but as a reverting Catholic I now realize that the weekly (or daily) mass is the ONLY place one can receive the Holy Eucharist, which Catholics believe is the flesh and blood of Christ. As a former Evangelical, I find a whole new motivation to attend church and it has nothing to do with self image or fear of being judged by others.
