Blog Round Up: Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus

Interesting that this video has touched such a nerve (More than 4.5 million hits after 3 days). People are either loving or hating it!
What does it stir in you?



If the video link above doesn't work try this one: http://youtu.be/1IAhDGYlpqY

I wanted to find out what others were saying and found a few of these blogs thought provoking (just like the video I reserve comment cos I haven't made my mind up about it or them but read them and decide for yourself)

Heeere comes my rant about that i hate religion video - Blog by gospel musician Audrey Assad and favourited by Derek Webb on twitter a good place to start your blog journey
Why I hate religion but love jesus the smackdown A response from a Catholic viewpoint. Lighthearted in places and an interesting read.
Matt Tipton's blog Raises one of the best questions I've seen about this video: "Why does this resonate so much with young adults who are not connected to the church?"
Yourboyfriendsbestgirlfriend.com What I like about this one is the power of personal stories. She's taken her response to the video and turned it into a story of her life. Powerful stuff.
theamericanjesus.net A blog about why this blogger won't "like" this video on facebook. Fairly lengthy.
WhyI hate doctrine but love Jesus Thinks that the word "doctrine" might have been a better choice then religion in the controversial video but I wonder if the video would have got as many hits?
Lame Poetry, False Dichotomies, and Bad Theology Why this blogger thinks it's important to denounce this video


Have you read any interesting blogs about this video? Post them in the comments.

  1. Hmm... I just ran across this response to the religion vs. Gospel video and am just about to read it. Not sure what I think yet, but I did like the quote in the smackdown that said "Religion says 'do' Jesus says, 'Done.'"
