The video left me feeling a little disturbed, too. It's one of those things that on the one hand makes you say, yes, in one part of you, and at the same time leaves you feeling there is something wrong.

Here is the problem, I think. Lee was wrong. Christ was not vs religion. He did not come preaching an "anti" message. And he didn't have to paint a dark backdrop of religion in order to make himself shine all the more. He presented Himself as the everything to our every need. He confronted the hypocrisy of religion when it confronted Him. Judaism was the continuation of the healthy body of work that God had been doing all along. Hypocrisy was a diseased attachment.

The Local Church was presented to us based on an anti message. We had to be anti Christianity in order to be for Christ and the Church.

Now, what has the Local Church become? A sect of Christianity, with cultic tendencies, and a religious structure that can compare with the staunches of "religion." A system of error.
