    How do you politely decline an invitation to church? I hate when muhfuckas do this ? and it's usually somebody from work. It puts me in a ? position because I know they genuinely think they're doing something nice. But I'm also not about to explain why I don't wanna go play make believe with some grown ass people, mind ya business hoe. Suggestions? Cause I know it's bound to happen again and again.

    and going 2 church is make believe how?

    Church girls are freaky... Or so I've heard.

    You should give it a try.

    And if you slip up and say "Ah, I don't really know"

    "No", doesn't hurt.

    If they're persistent, then you explain that you aren't into church or religious beliefs.

    If you fear their opinions on you, you need to man up.

    Tell them you're scared. Last time you went to church you caught an extreme case of the holy ghost and it unfortunately took you a week to recover. Tell them you don't want to put yourself at risk to catch it twice.

    The only people that ask me to attend church with them are church girls I hang with and usually we've already had the conversation about me and their lord and savior.

    At that point I'm asked only to be polite so my response is usually equally polite: "Jono you should come to church with me this Sunday" "Nah, no thanks doll. You have fun though" and that's usually the end until she inevitably asks again.

    I don't really respond with aggression, I respond more aggressively to offers of ribs and pork chops than church. 99% of the people I associate with regularly are Black, Blacks are highly religious, so its bound to come up in conversation and stuff. Just decline and quickly change the subject.

    But...they ARE doing a nice thing. Just tell decline and let them know you ain't into going church, but thanks for the invite. Get some social skills, ? .

    How do you politely decline an invitation to church?

    NO, Thank You

    So the options presented thus far have been:

    1) Just say no thanks, short and sweet, then end conversation

    2) Say no thanks I don't believe in...

    3) Lie

    I'm leaning toward #3 unless it's somebody I don't really mess w/ on a daily basis (then I'd go for #1)
