I haven't been to church in forever, choosing to follow my own relationship with God. All I can say is wow what a clown show.

I was there for my Father so he wouldn't feel so alone without my Mom. But I felt truly out of place and just biding my time.

I feel now even more than ever the way I relate to God truly feels right.

Did it reek of hypocrisy?

How did you know? Total phonyism. Loving God is probably 9 out of 10 on the list of importance there.

Every church I ever walked into feels like that. Same throughout my years in the (((education system))). There’s always been something very off about them.

The people that run the churches, mosques, and synagogues think they are safe from the Day of the Rope. They're not. Just like the journalists the "men of the cloth" won't see it coming until 10 mins before it does.

So much layered ritual and current culture war bs. Not a safe haven from idol worship. I was waiting for the faggot flag to drop from the rafters.

I am right there with you. I think there are no more vatican 1 chuches. I sometimes miss the Rite and Ritual of Mass, but will not be part of the chaos the church is now

I feel ya. I went to watch the Mormons this morning. What a bunch of uninspirational try-hards.

Mormons are an interesting bunch. Their women can be very confusing.

When are we going to get your sing along with SB? They tried to share but it only was dead air.

Sb is the worst type of jew there is. He offered to sing a song with me, make me famous. He said he really "liked my sound" and told me my "voice needs to be heard". Then he told me to sit down on the couch, he wanted to get a good look at me, make sure I was "willing to do" what it takes to make it in this "industry"...

Maybe I'm just jaded. Growing up as one and finding out 3 out of 5 priests at my church were pedophiles or gay. And 50 percent of the nuns were gay as well and one dropped out.

I find the ritual distracting and it takes away from the deep down message of loving God and God's love for us.

The main ritual of worship is literally the words and acts of Jesus at the Last Supper. Matthew 26:26-30

That's exactly right. The things that Jesus did were breaking of the bread as a symbolism of him, same with the wine and then the Our Father. I do like The Beatitudes though. The rest is just ritual and pageantry, time fillers.

Today they were swearing some new Catholics in and they literally had everybody in the audience hold their hand up like they were doing some sort of ritualistic seance to send their power to these new catholics. I just stood there looking at everyone like what the fuck is going on.

You are on the true path. Religion is just the monetization of spirituality.

You know you're right. First thing you do when you walk into the church is dump your tithe and the collection box then you may proceed into 'God's' house.

I thought something was up when we were reading the same parts of the Bible at the same times of year (excluding the Jesus birth and crucifixion). All those verses and books, and they chose to read the same 15ish...

I only remember it being around 15 because my family only went during fall, winter and stopped going after Easter. I found it weird that there was a pattern and it repeated but the Bibles were easily 3 inches thick.

They do a A,B,C year cycle each of the three years is dedicated to a different Gospel, in addition to readings from Old Testament and Epistles.

Year A – Gospel of St. Matthew Year B – Gospel of St. Mark Year C – Gospel of St. Luke

I didnt go to church for years. Wife and kids went without me. Finally, my wife convinced me to come with them to a traditional latin mass. I dont speak latin, so it was weird at first. Now, when I walk in to a Vatican II novus ordo mass, it seems silly. The old way was quiet, somber, respectful without all the singing and hand shaking... Big difference is the preist doesnt face the pews, he faces the altar... He leads us in the mass versus preaching the words to us withnhis back to Jesus. Id suggest trying to find a TLM and check it out. Harder now that most have been banned by the pope and stuff. Our church has a few months left before it goes away. Not sure what Ill do after that. I think the priest there will still run a respectful novus ordo mass... we shall see.
