This video has been going around like the plague:
Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus || Spoken Word
Of course, this guy has proposed a fireball of a topic, right? In short though, My biggest qualm with it is that simply the guy throws around general terms without so much as a hint of a definition. "Religion" to one person, simply means something else to another. In my case it means something very specific, probably because I'm Catholic. No surprise there, I would think.
If you were to strip out the first 1:18 of the video and remove a couple of the odd jabs toward the end, the message would be at it's core indisputable by most any Christian. Instead though, the video has a very anti-Catholic vibe, of which I'm sure only Catholics would be aware.
I thought of writing a well-thought out response to the video, but in finding that someone else already has, I will play tour guide.

I love this... "The point is simply that it is I who am accountable the fight, not my religion. If it is a bad thing to fight, my religion is the good for which I would forget myself and be bad." Not going to be taken very well by most though, I should think. ;)
