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.

Institutions

"it seems to be a general law of social/historical development that institutions tend to distort and destroy the central function that brought them into existence".

- Dallas Willard, The Divine Conspiracy, p. 201
