Are you serious?

Yes. Are you implying that a person who is not going to church but otherwise has a fullfilling, satisfying and reverent life without needing the church can't be close to God, or, is it that the church adds a measure of lagniappe to the life of someone that otherwise is perfectly healthy in their personal walk with Jesus? I understand it opens potential doors to new friendships, but also, I recognize that for many people, attending church is a personal obligation they feel in order not to be "different" in their circle of friends or family. If that's how someone feels, then maybe feeling "different" would feel better for them. People shouldn't judge others on how they worship.
