Jesus>Religion

"What if I told you Jesus came to abolish Religion? What if I told you voting Republican wasn't really his mission? What if I told you Republican doesn't automatically mean Christian? And just because you call other people blind doesn't automatically give you vision. I mean if religion is so great, why has it started so many wars? Why does it build huge churches but fails to feed the poor? Tell single moms God doesn't love them if they've ever had a divorce. But in the Old Testament, God actually calls religious people whores. Religion might preach grace, but another thing they practice. Ridicule Gods people, they did it to John the Baptist. They cant fix their problems and so they just mask it not realizing religion is like spraying perfume on a casket. See the problem with religion, is that it never gets to the core. Just behavior modification like a long list of chores. Like, lets dress up the outside, make it look nice and neat. But its funny, that's what they did to mummies while the corpse rots underneath. Now I ain't judging, but don't put on a fake look. Cause its a problem if people only know you're Christian by your Facebook. I mean in every other aspect of life, you know that logic's unworthy. Its like saying you play for the Lakers just because you bought a Jersey.
One is the work of God, one's a man-made invention. One is the cure, the other is the infection. Religion says Do. Jesus says Done. Religion says slave, Jesus says son. Religion puts you in bondage, while Jesus sets you free. Religion make you blind, but Jesus makes you see.
So for Religion, I hate it. In fact I literally resent it. Because when Jesus says IT IS FINISHED, I believe he meant it."

-Jefferson Bethke

Look the whole thing up on Youtube Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus. While youre at it, also take a look at Falling Plates. Very interesting. "Its not a Church for good people. Its a Hospital for the broken."
