Why I love Jesus but hate religion It has started wars It builds huge churches, but doesn t feed the poor Jesus said it is finished so there shouldn t be Church carrying on Organised religion is hypocritical: they just act right, but in their hearts they don t try to change eg going to church but addicted to pornography C:\Users\Marta_2\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\H73MYYAC\MC900432653[1].png Organised religion makes rules that make you a slave of that religion God sets you free
