"I love Jesus, but i will not go to church"

Justin Bieber in his recent interview with Complex Magazine stated that he loved Jesus deep down, but he will not go to church because Christians leave bad taste in people.

According to 'Mediaite,' he acknowledged that he had Christian friends who are cool, but Christians are 'overly pushy with every subject, overly churchy, too religious.'

He further said that he does not have to attend church services to be a christian.

Read what he said below;

"Christians leave such a bad taste in people’s mouths, even myself.

I was like, I’m not gonna go to church. I had these church friends and I was like, you guys are cool, I like you guys, but I’m not going to church.

Then it was the same thing of, just because you went to a weird church before doesn’t mean that this is weird.

It doesn’t make you a Christian just by going to church.

I think that going to church is fellowship, it’s relationship, it’s what we’re here on the earth to do, to have this connection that you feel there’s no insecurities.

I think that’s where we need to be. Like I said, you don’t need to go to church to be a Christian.
