Going to church won’t get you to heaven. If you want to serve the Lord, you seek him anywhere you can. God may not always move inside of you at every church service but you can take a piece of every message and apply it to your life.

its not work, there are no productivity reports to fill out.
you are there to "spend time in church" as is your obligation and there is no game plan agenda that details how time is spent.
as someone said, if you dont respect why you are there or you are too selfish to give up a small part of your day then leave

I’ve read the Bible more than most and understand the principles but lord if you need church to understand the Bible you are part of the problem.
No, people who embrace and teach
that attitude are. You're very much mistaken on a critical principle.
Hebrews 10:24-25

Who in their right mind needs the church of today to live a life worth living.
Christians.
Christ's Church is a fellowship, a community of Jesus's disciples corporately meeting to worship Him and receive, participate, experience, and share in the love of God and the grace received participating in the Sacraments, particularly the Sacrament of Communion.
The it's just me and Jesus idea is antithetical to the very nature of the Church.
It breeds and reinforces a self-centered focus on the individual that is inimical to the core of sound, orthodox ecclesiology, that is the understanding that the Church is Christ's Body here on earth, a collection of Jesus's disciples, submitted to his Lordship and entrusted to extend the boundaries God's Kingdom outpost here on Earth by selflessly serving and loving both his Church and those not yet part of it.
Without doubt, the Church is doing this imperfectly but it's no reason or excuse to abandon Jesus's Church and his people further fragmenting it and weakening them.
Ceasing attending Church and isolating oneself is analogous to a
B-17 pulling out of formation in hostile airspace removing itself from the defense of the other bombers' overlapping fields of supporting machine guns. Enemy fighters will swarm it and shoot it to pieces.
No offense intended, nevertheless, if you think there's something in your Bible that supports or encourages a selfish, self-centered it's just me and Jesus theology, I think you're mistaken.

Going to church doesn’t mean what it used to mean. It’s a joke nowadays and going there doesn’t qualify you as a good person.
Going to church still means what it always meant to me, probably even more now. It never made you or me a good person. There is really no such thing as a good person when compared to the measuring stick of Christ. If the church you attend or attended is a joke, find another church.
I know there is a lot out there that can be off putting, to say the least, but I do believe that there is an importance to attending a church where you can connect with other and develop relationships with fellow believers as well as hear a message about God and how to live your life to please him. Hopefully the pastor can push you to be a better you. Odds are you won’t always agree with everything .
Churches are filled with flawed people, including the pastor. That’s because it’s filled with people and all people are flawed, I know I am.
