"Any man's finest hour- his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear- is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle, victorious."(Vince Lobardi.)

Others go because someone is forcing them to be there, such as children going with their parents. Then again some might be going because of a sense of religious duty or seeking a place to find the face of God. No matter what the reason, Church and Christianity seem to go hand in hand.
