Christianity Quote by Matt Carter
““We need Jesus because we are losing the battle. We are making ourselves into big-time hypocrites, and everybody knows it. Nothing stinks more than people who think they are superior to you, especially when they‘re on exactly the same level. People look at us (the church) and hate Christianity, and consequently, reject Jesus. Yet legalism says that if a non-Christian sees you drink beer or hears you say "shit", or sees you doing anything else remotely fun or cool, then they will close their hearts to Jesus.””
