"Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus"

So this video was posted last week. Within three days it had 8 million views. Viral enough for you? It's a poem written comparing the differences between Jesus and religion. It's a pretty controversial topic. There were a lot of interesting opinions and such in the videos comments. Unfortunately, the comments were disabled. Please take 4 minutes out of your time to watch it, and leave a comment down below.


"At it's core Jesus' gospel and the good news of the Cross is in pure opposition to self-righteousness/self-justification. Religion is man centered, Jesus is God-centered. This poem highlights my journey to discover this truth. Religion either ends in pride or despair. Pride because you make a list and can do it and act better than everyone, or despair because you can't do your own list of rules and feel "not good enough" for God. With Jesus though you have humble confident joy because He represents you, you don't represent yourself and His sacrifice is perfect putting us in perfect standing with God!"
