My mother makes me. And I believe children should do what their mother says. I'm now in my 40's, but if I didn't go to church my mother would be very disappointed in me and life is tough enough without dealing with a disappointed mother. I get paid to go. I'm a pastor.
People expect to have their preacher there on the Sundays they decide to attend church.
They can tell me they overslept, had unexpected company, or needed to play golf, but if I do the same, I don't get paid. My friends are there. The people I like to be with are also people who attend worship with me. I look forward to seeing them and miss them when they are away. I need and enjoy the fellowship that happens when we assemble ourselves together.
