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.

Divine scandal

"What is essential Christianity? From first to last it is scandal, the divine scandal. Every time someone risks scandal of high order there is joy in heaven."

- Soren Kierkegaard
