If you want to jettison Religion than you have to stop being a Christian. Christianity is a Religion, it is the Religion and I am glad to be Religious

Religion, with all its divisive theology, it makes me sad. Jesus however, and love, these make me joyful. So i say religion can take a hike, give me liberty, amen.
Liberty or death right?

I'm sure there's a christian religion, that is basically like every other religion, but Jesus gave us so much more.

More like give me liberty or give me insanity.
He who tries to save his mind will lose it, but he who gives it up willingly will gain an eternal perspective . ;)

The apostle James said that a man who cannot keep his mouth shut has useless religion. The way i figure it, the less religion one has, the less words they need to defend it.

Christianity is a Religion and will always be such. If one is a Christian they are in a Religion. I know the popular evangelical idea now is to try to be cute and say they are not in a religion but that is fake news

Than you are still in a Religion

a specific fundamental set of beliefs and practices generally agreed upon by a number of persons or sects:
the Christian religion

the definition of religion

Yeah, it's worded like "if a man consider himself religious" so maybe I don't consider myself religious, ;)

I keep things simple. I dont see any scripture that says religion must be complicated, or divisive.

A matter of perspective, as it goes, your perspective only affects you. If you consider yourself religious, then you are religious.

lol, nice dodge. :) Seriously though, James words really resonate with me. The best religion doesnt need many words, just actions

Never said it had to be complicated but it is ridiculous to say Christianity is not a religion when it is.

That's impossible, What Christ gave us, is like nothing else. Religion is too small a box.

Christ gave us Religion, it's just modern evangelical types that what to redefine Christianity like in this thread. Modern people think they can redefine anything and it is oh so cool but it's just stupid. It's no different than the world trying to redefine everything

I never said it wasnt, however much of it has become useless wrangling over denominational differences. I throw that religion off to the side so i dont stumble over it.
