Is exposure to Christian dogma itself a form of suffering to be endured by Christians?

I just asked about why chairs in Christian churches are so uncomfortable and most answers seemed to suggest they have been designed this way to make people sit up and pay attention to the dogma being provided by the church leader and not fall asleep. This sounds plausible and even Christians themselves answered this way, but of course, this means that the dogma itself is boring and sleep inducing, right? So if it鈥檚 boring and sleep inducing then exposure to it is a form of suffering right? Christian dogma is something that Christians force themselves to endure like the dentists drill?|||I've actually never considered this. It's an interesting angle.|||It is called a captive audience... they don't have to make it entertaining as long as they got you believing in eternal damnation.|||At least they choose to endure it.


I don't have a damn choice.|||Spot on. Couldn't have put it better myself. The church you describe sounds more southern and old. Even though i'm an atheist, I sill attend church with my parents. The church I go to is more modern. There is unlimited donutes and coffee, a starbucks cafe', comfy padded chairs, and tv screens where you can watch the sermon OUTSIDE the chapel.|||ha ha ha... the seats in our congregation are very comfortable, thank you. OUr public talk and bible study are never boring and not a thing to be endured. How can the truth be boring?!





But I suspect other religions are not so fortunate!|||Being exposed to childish , boorish and immature questions is suffering enough.......Please take your meds !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! go in peace..... God bless|||I don't know, but christians are becoming more and more agitated about their beliefs...





religion and politics seem to be increasing in large numbers...





I usually don't stay long enough to sit down............//
