Does Jesus Hate Religion? Kinda, Sorta, Not Really

Does Jesus Hate Religion? Kinda, Sorta, Not Really
(THE most popular video making its rounds on facebook)

Everyone will watch the video, few will read the article questioning it.

"The strengths in this poem are the strengths I see in many young Christians—a passionate faith, a focus on Jesus, a love for grace, and a hatred for anything phony or self-righteous. The weaknesses here can be the weaknesses of my generation (and younger)—not enough talk of repentance and sanctification, a tendency to underestimate the importance of obedience in the Christian life, a one-dimensional view of grace, little awareness that our heavenly Father might ever discipline his children or be grieved by their continued transgression, and a penchant for sloganeering instead of careful nuance." -Kevin DeYoung
