The Problem with Religion: Best Website

Wednesday, April 30, 2008

Forget Google, Yahoo and all the others. If I only had one website to access this would probably be it... Bubblewrap for the internet.

The problem with religion is that sooner or later it's defined by who's following the rules and who's not... kind of like the public swimming pool with fences, wristbands and lifegaurds watching your every move. A relationship with Jesus is more like the diving board at the public pool. When you're on one all you do is dive and invite others to do the same. There are places for structure. But when we subordinate 'the relationship' to rules everyone loses. If rules could saves us we wouldn't need a Savior. (my paraphrase of Galatians 3)
