Religion 1100 Discussion Post 2

Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus Spoken Word video went viral out of curiosity. Nevertheless, the theme of the video cannot be overlooked. The video highlights the controversy between Jesus and false religion. In the scriptures, it is evident that Jesus received religious criticism from the people of his time. Religion is man centered while Jesus is god centered. Thus, religion ends up in either despair or pride. In most cases, religion is about pride and therefore contradicts Christian teachings. Jefferson view religion as a vehicle to reach the lost or the forgone world. He states that he wanted to expose legalism that persists in most houses of worship. However, Jefferson does not support those that use his video to criticize the church. This definition compares with the definition provided in the textbook. In particular, both the video and the textbook recognize religion as a man centered creation. In addition, both definitions do not view religion as the purpose of God.
