The older forms of Christianity have become overly ritualized. Certain key rituals were obviously intended, but when every part of church life becomes a ritual, down to no prayers but those written by someone else (prayed habitually and ritually), it becomes stifling and boring. Jesus was a Person, not a ritual.

Yeah, I mean who would want to pray that crappy Our Father (a.k.a. the Lord's Prayer). I mean it was only created by *JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF*!!!!

"Master teach us how to pray!"
"When you pray, pray like this . . . Our Father, who art in heaven."

But hey, why listen to Jesus. He was just a chump, I guess.
