"Jesus liberated us from religion. Jesus taught simple……" — Richard Rohr
"Jesus liberated us from religion. Jesus taught simple religious practices over major theorizing.Â… The only thoughts Jesus told us to police were our own: our own negative thoughts, our own violent thoughts, our own hateful thoughts-not other people's thoughts."
