Church goers, why do you go to church?

I go to church because worship is not something that you should do on your own. Obviously you need your alone time with God, but when it comes to actual worship, it is good to have a community to do it with.

It is one of the most important things a man or a woman can do for him or herself. Listening and watching the priest offer up the sacrifice of the mass actuality talking to God Himself for us is beyond compare and if not for that alone we all would be doomed.

Because that's where we want to be on Sunday mornings.  You should try it.

For the coffee.

Because the Bible says to.

Heb. 10:24, 25

24 And let us consider one another so as to incite to love and fine works, 25 not forsaking our meeting together, as some have the custom, but encouraging one another, and all the more so as you see the day drawing near.

Because God is present there in a way He is not present anywhere else on Earth. And, because Christians are brothers and sisters with a common Father.  Don't you visit people you love and have a relationship with?

To worship God through attending mass. Also, occasionally, to go to confession or to participate in eucharistic adoration.

They go to church because they have been taught that they are being being lacking in their belief if they do not go to church.  The one whole reason to always gather the members into the church is for one purpose; to make them ashamed not to drop money into the basket.  They learn nothing knew, it is always the same babbling, prayers and songs and noise.  Religion is the biggest scam on the earth.

My brain ain't gonna wash itself

It's ironic when non-church-goers answer a Q like this. Well, I've been going to church for 40 years+ now (except for recent Covonovirus pandemic spikes to cause all worship buildings in the country to spasmodically close). For Christians, it is the PUBLIC worship of God that causes those gatherings inside a building. Christians ARE the Church Jesus speaks of, and we come together to build each other up in the faith, to be taught more on what God's word the Bible says, to sing God's praises, to pray to Him (including intercesionary prayers) and to partake of the means of grace. The public can come in if they wish - no questions asked - and see what the worship of God amounts to.

The word "Christian" literally means "Christ-follower". And since "Christ" means "Messiah" or "Chosen One" or "Saviour" or "Deliverer" or "Rescuer", then to be a Christian is really to be someone who follows Jesus because they acknowledge that he is their Saviour. Jesus said it himself in John 14:6, when he bluntly declared, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me." 

So, on the one hand a Christian is someone who goes to church because they have a genuine relationship with Jesus as their Saviour and they want to be encouraged in their faith. But on the other hand, just going to church without a relationship with Christ won't make someone a true Christian anymore than walking in the woods makes you a tree, or standing in a parking lot makes you a car. It's not just a matter of where you go, but who you know that makes you a Christian, a Christ-follower.
