I tried going to Church for a while. I really don't see much benefit from it. I think personal prayer and contemplation and reading the Bible bring me a lot closer to God and improve my behaviour a lot more than Church.

I think at most I would like to go to a home-based Church where you'd pray together and do bible study. Are there any movements/denominations that support this kind of thing?

Which kind of Church is it? Describe mass and everything around it.

A Church is something social where you are meant to interact with people, you need to do this.

Since you are a chan user you probably have problems with this anyway, but it is important.

Mass itself is a Holy Sacrifice directed towards God, it is supposed to honour him. It is a mandatory part of worshipping.

Christianity is the religion that worships the One and Holy God, not the Bible, sorry.

>Are there any movements/denominations that support this kind of thing?

Protestantism and anything below even that, like reformed Churches. Witnesses of Jehovah are similar-ish to that too.

Pretty much this. Any Burger King Church that tells you that you can just "have it your way" is not worth even considering. There needs be order, discipline and structure, and some things that demand sacrifice and discomfort from you.

FSSP TLM, given your flag I don't think I need to explain it further.

Maybe you’re just blind for the liturgy.

So what do you dislike about it? Doesn't it honour the Lord?

Isn't it in the tradition of the Church as we did for 2000 years now?

Don't you receive the Eucharist? Pray for others and yourself?

Don't you get blessed by the priest?

What is your exact problem with Church?

This is not Catholicism. Christianity is more than the bible and "bible study" is something I personally dislike.

Mass is more than praing together and learning about a 2000 year old book, it is an expression of the living Church, which is the earthly body of Jesus Christ.

> Are there any movements/denominations that support this kind of thing?

It is not the Church that needs to change, we need to change.

Cool. I'll check those out, thanks.

Don’t let the anathema sit you on your way out.
