TODAY many people have a “Jesus, but not religion” attitude. This appeals to the innate libertarian streak many Americans have, but that is NOT what Jesus taught, nor was it reflected in how He lived on earth. What many people do is they inflate Jesus’ criticism of hypocrisy as practiced by the Pharisees and others into being a critique of religion itself. That is not what Jesus did. Jesus practiced a religion.

Oh how ironic. You scold Protestants for rejecting religion when your religion began as a "protestant" rejection of the religion your founder practiced!

No irony. My religion’s founder is God. He founded Judaism. He founded the Catholic Church. Jews wanted nothing to do with Christians. They had rejected Jesus and demanded His crucifixion. (We commemorate that very event today no less.) Jews later banned Christians from the Temple and synogogue. In other words, we did not reject Judaism. Judaism rejected its God and His followers.

That will be my last comment to you in this thread.
