    here's one that will throw you for a curve, Crouwel... ya know what?

    I hate religion.

    It binds people up, and strangles them. It breeds hypocrisy and hate.

    But what do we mean by "religion"? I define it as man's attempt to appease a deity, via works or performance of some sort. And you know what? Many people have distorted the Christian message into religion. And you know what else?...

    ...they're not Christians.

    You see, the message of the New Testament scriptures is clear: Jesus paid it all by living the perfect life we are incapable of living. He died in our place and rose from the grave victorious over death. All we can do is receive the free gift he offers us thru the beautiful work of love he did. It can't be earned (religion).
