I hate religion 01/18/2010
We're not supposed to hate most things, but I admit, religion is one thing I detest. Ok - I put it out there. A friend just posted a great quote on Facebook. Here it is. What do you think? 'Religion is the archrival of intimate spirituality.... Religion, a tiresome system of manmade dos and don'ts, woulds and shoulds - impotent to change lives but tragically capable of devastating them - is what is left after a true love for God has drained away. Religion is the shell that is left after the real thing has disappeared.' -Doug Banister- I'm not sure I've ever heard it put better. 1 Comment | I serve as Senior Pastor of Grace Church in Ridgewood, NJ. I'm a husband, dad, a recovering musician and a guy on a spiritual journey trying to understand what it really means to live a Spirit led life. This site is my opportunity to share various things I care about and think about with my Grace Church family, my friends and anyone else who stumbles across it. There are several things which really get me charged: Jesus, my family, Grace Church, motorcycles, theology, music and Alabama football. Enjoy and feel free to join in the discussion. Books I'm reading...
