The Point is Simple

Christianity Isn't Jesus' Fault

The point is simple: Jesus didn't found Christianity. He never intended to start a religion or be the object of its devotion. Followers of Jesus took his revolutionary social movement in a direction he never intended. Sadly, what we know today as "Christianity" and "Church" are far removed from the visionary ideas promoted by Jesus two thousand years ago.

Institutional religion is the greatest threat to the modern world. And Christianity, like other faiths, has been the source of much division and exclusion — something completely opposed to the radical inclusivity Jesus advocated.
