According to Christianity, humans aren\u2019t perfect, we are wretched creatures filled with sin. But not to worry, because Jesus can fix us. Oddly enough, I don\u2019t feel broken. In fact, I don\u2019t need fixing and that means that I don\u2019t need Jesus or Christianity.<\/p>\n<p>This really isn\u2019t about Christianity, but rather it is about most religions which create a problem which only they can solve for you. Christianity is just the most blatant example of this.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a con game. The way it works is that religion spends a great deal of time telling you that you are broken and then continuing to push the idea that you are broken and that you need something. Christians call this a \u201chole in your heart.\u201d Then they present to you a way to fix the problem that only they can provide. Oddly enough, all religions can fix the problem that any religion creates. This is why religions often spend time tweaking the solution so that only their solution will fix the problem. Christians often say that other religions try to get you closer to God, but with Christianity, God comes to us as long as you worship Jesus to get closer to God.<\/p>\n<p>The way I see it is that we are who we are. We don\u2019t have a hole in our heart, we are not broken, and we don\u2019t need fixing. We should work to be better people here on Earth, but that doesn\u2019t require anything special. We aren\u2019t perfect, but why should we be perfect? What does perfect even mean in relation to human beings?<\/p>\n<p>If there is anything broken about us humans it is because religion broke us and is trying to blame it on us instead of taking responsibility for what they have done and what they continue to do.<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"zemanta-related-title\" style=\"font-size: 1em;\">Related articles<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul\">\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/atheism-in-national\/refuting-why-i-hate-religion-but-love-jesus-video\" target=\"_blank\">Refuting &#8216;Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus&#8217; video<\/a> (examiner.com)<\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.godlessgirl.com\/2012\/01\/can-you-follow-jesus-without-religion\/\" target=\"_blank\">Can You Follow Jesus without Religion?<\/a> (godlessgirl.com)<\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/pakos.me\/2012\/01\/18\/can-you-separate-christian-religion-from-jesus-this-video-has-the-answer\/\" target=\"_blank\">Can you separate Christian religion from Jesus?
