I believe, not because of my family's beliefs and practices, but because of what God has done to show me he is real & alive in my life. As a kid, I went to church because my brother & sister did. It was a social event, rather than a Faith-driven one. I dropped away from the church during my rebellious teens when I found I was being hypocritical & becoming a Sunday-Christian (good on Sunday, whatever the rest of the week
)
During my University-years, I found there was a void in my life & eventually figured out that it was because God had little or no part in my life as a fall-away Christian.
At present, my wife & I try to make it to church on Sundays, but my work schedule makes that difficult. The other option is our church has a Sat. pm service so I may go that route.
I voted #1 but for the past month I've been #2.
