i don't feel like the church is a good representation of god because of how corrupt they can be and how we are only humans and we are corrupt and greedy. If we want to help others we can do that without he church.its not that difficult to help others and they church makes it seem like if you help others your better then people that don't and they is egotistical. I personally believe the church isn't necessary to have a connection with god.

I think praying helps me be connected to the Church the most. Praying can be whenever you want, not really scheduled. Going to mass sometimes doesn’t really help sometimes, because it depends on if the mass is engaging or boring. Sometimes mass really helps depending on who the priest, or what the homily and stuff is about. It’s easiest for me to pick who to pray to depending on what I’m praying about, so that person connects me to the Church too.

Nothing really. Its a little hard to connect to the church when it’s one big entity rather than a small community. Plus each member holds individual beliefs, it’s never truly unified the way we want it to be. And some of those members of the church hold bigoted beliefs and I don’t wanna be associated with that. Also there are some core beliefs that i don’t like so I don’t feel connected because i don’t wanna be
