I would like to know why christians choose to ignore matthew 6 where Jesus says specifically not to pray in churches or in a crowd, but to do so alone in private. And then to pray to God, not jesus.

Depends on what kind of a christian you would like to be.

If you want to be the kind of christian that follows church doctrine, then any kind of church would do.
If you don’t like reading the bible you can just parrot others misquotes.
Or if you prefer to be the kind of christian which beats others over the head with their convictions, you won’t have to study too hard for that.

Some christians genuinely go out of their way to help others whenever they can. The list goes on.

Alternatively you could choose to be the kind of christian that follows Jesus (He didn’t like churches much either), in which case you find out what he did and follow Him.

Happy choosing.

I replied to another question of a similar nature prior to this one. I believe that John 3:16, 13:35, and 15:4-5 sum it up nicely.

Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Acts 26:18
To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me

Romans 1:17
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

Romans 5:1
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

Romans 10:17
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God

1 Corinthians 2:5
That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God

Galatians 3:11
But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

Why the need to be anything other than what you already are?

sadly you do have to pray, live a decent life, etc, and meet with other christians. nobody said anything about every two seconds, though, so there’s a plus.

Jesus was actually big on the ten commandments, for instance, you could start with them.

can you just become a christian and not do all those other things? that would be a no.
