Default I want to go to Church, but I do not believe! Help!
Hi!

Ny name is Nora, I am a convert to the church of (officially) 8 years, though I have not been active for the past 2 or 3.

I was very excited about the church. I love the structure. I love the institution as a whole (I even went to and graduated from BYU), but I have come to learn that that is what I believe in- the institution and the goodness of some people. I do not believe in much of the doctrine, or even the plan of salvation anymore.

I love church, and I love to go to church. I really want to go to relief society and Sunday School because I enjoy spending time with other intelligent moral people. However I feel like that perhaps that is hypocritical- to go to church for the social benefits.

What is your (anyones) advice/thoughts?

Thank you-
Nora
