Why do people go to church?

I always ask myself why people bother going to church. It is a complete waste of time. If there is a god, he/she/it does not care if you go to church. People invented churches when they invented religion. The idea that you must attend church and worship your god is just a crazy rule that people invented a long time ago.

If god is so great and all-powerful, he should be smart enough to know that attending church has nothing to do with how good of a person you are. Going to chuch will not help your chances of getting into heaven, so you might as well quit going, because there's really no other reason to go. Saying you enjoy church is like saying you enjoy waiting in long lines or sitting in traffic. Church is a chore and you know it.

Let's say there is a heaven....if you live a great life and never do anything wrong, do you really think you won't get into heaven just because you didn't sit in a church on Sundays? God is not that petty, if he does exist.

People invented the concept of god a long time ago. So why didn't they invent a god that is much more logical? They could have made god into anything they wanted, so why did people choose to make god such an asshole? I guess because there is so much death and destruction in the world, they assumed god must be an angry douche who hates them.Look at this giant building. What a waste of space and building materials. We could've put something useful in that spot...like a KFC - mmmmmmm, finger-lickin' good. I propose right now we tear down all the worthless churches and build KFC's in their place. What brings more joy to the world? Boring old churches, or delicious fried chicken?!!

Churches don't offer anything (except maybe a stale cracker and some "wine"). At least KFC gives you something tasty. If you're going to worship anything, worship fried chicken - it already has advantages over god because: 1. we know it's real, 2. it tastes good (God doesn't taste like anything), and 3. you are slightly less likely to be molested in a KFC than in a church.
