Jesus and the End of Religion: Christianity to be the official religion in Missouri?

Jesus and the End of Religion

Jesus did not intend to establish a new religion, Christianity. Instead he showed us a new way to approach God and others. Unfortunately, however, his simple message was quickly institutionalized. Despite its many adherents, the Christian religion has lost its way and is viewed negatively by much of the world because of its history and current distortions. In the spirit of Jesus' message, it's time for religion (especially Christianity) to die, and for the resurrection of new faith and life.

Christianity to be the official religion in Missouri?

Scary ...

Missouri legislators are considering a bill that would name Christianity the state's official "majority" religion. (More information at KMOV, St. Louis).

Apart from the obvious legal and political problems with this type of bill, it is completely frustrating (although not unexpected) to see Christians thinking in this manner.

I can't ever begin to imagine Jesus pushing for this type of recognition.

Christianity as a religion has lost its way.
