But Christianity is religion. Not just a religion.
So the fight is really against hypocrisy. Against veiling evil and unrighteousness with the cloak of religion. Against wielding the book of the God of love as if it is a battle axe.
Christ was not simply versus religion. He was versus religion that had lost its roots; lost its meaning; lost its reason for existing. He was versus people who used religion as a way to gain control over people. |
I agree with OBW's observations. It's too easy to use that video and condemn all others. Sound familiar?
