As of late, I have been straying far from the path, as far as my thinking goes. In fact, I've come to think that a lot of Christian beliefs and morals, those being shoved on others, aren't even needed! And yet, sometimes they are. I find myself highly annoyed when I go to church, even though I went on my own last night. And I don't think this is right.
I sit there and just wait for service to be over.
I need someone who has the time, and is willing, to help me with my struggle. Someone who could possibly send me PMs that help keep me on the right track.
Can any of you do that for me?

I believe you've found the right guild for this question smile
Perhaps this will help you:
Have a long talk with the priest/pastor of your church. Discuss your newfound doubts and your apathy during mass.
Maybe there has been a moment in your life where you've felt like "There is no God"... maybe the noise around you is what's drowning out his voice. Also, what you do in your spare time could be a little excessive... don't get rid of it altogether, but try to balance it with spiritual activity if you can manage - moderation is a virtue.
That's the best advice I can muster... thankfully though, there are other guild members who I'm sure would love to help.

Thank you. I will take that into consideration. If and when I do get a chance, I'll try to. I just moved over three hundred miles away from my church, as it is, and I try to go when I can.
I surprised myself this past week. I could've stayed home Wednesday night rather than go to church. We got home at 7:20, which meant I wouldn't be at the church until 7:40, and by then service would me over, more or less. I dropped off my mother and little brother and went by myself.

I've been experiencing somewhat the same thing. Whenever I go to church I find that I'm bored out of my mind or angered at the way everyone insists that you have to be a certain way to be a christian and just want to go home and when I'm not bored or angry I'm uncomfortable with everyone around me. The only reason I still go to church is my friend who goes there. I've tried reading my bible to get rid of my problems and it works for me. That's what I would suggest, try to read your bible and pray.
