a commonwealth rant about churches

Why the fuck should i go to church tomorrow (today)? I don't usually have to ask myself this, but tonight i put the premise hypothetically in my head. I used to go. Why would i want to stand and sit and kneel for somthing i don't understand for over an hour? Its exhausting and tiresome, and you start feeling bad for thinking about fucking or naked boobies to busy your nauseated mind. Why the fuck do people sit, stand and kneel for nothing. What does it mean to those people? Do they really think about and give a shit why their sitting, kneeling and standing at command? Do they really think that if they go to "heaven", it's going to be because they sat, stood, and knelt accordingly to when a crack team of priests emplored them to? People (old ones for the most part) are stuck in tradition, and thats why religion is dying. Religion is dying because nobody gives a shit anymore. The chuch offers people nothing that the internet, porn, movies, comics, video games, music, and real life situations can't offer them, and i think our generations are getting to this point where going to church, and being with people of your beleifs for a mandatory sunday meeting is irrelevant. This would happen either because we would have found people as friends that believe what we believe in (be it religion or whatever), or because nobody wants to get up on a sunday to go do nothing for 2 hours and see people you can see any other day of the week. Unless your picking up old women.
For very few its about true belief, or maybe for most (but they don't give a shit about practicing what they preach.)
I don't hate the idea of religion, but i do hate church, and i do hate everything unnecessary the church compiles into its 1870's rulebook. Some people are part of an organized religion because they've though about it and understand it suits their belief, and i commend that. I wish i could take a world religion class from where i was so that i could find somthing i believed in. Thinking that when you die you sleep eternally, or cease to exist (whatever that means) is bleak, and i don't like that it's the only logical path for me.
What the fuck am i talking about
