Last decade a phenom rock group called R.E.M. released a song called “Losing My Religion”. In that one sentence they release a sentiment far deeper than words. We all have something we hang onto as precious in our daily worship. Let’s be honest, what is our obsession? A person, place or thing can captivate our time and thoughts. Our jobs, hobbies, food, lusts and even our spouses or children.
I was intrigued that a new book of this same title has also been released by an author who has no belief in God but yet understands the way Christianity is being unfairly targeted in our culture. Almost all religions seem tolerated except the one professing Jesus as truth. I am a Christian believer but I dislike “religion” to my very core. I don’t mind losing my religion as long as I don’t lose my love for Jesus.
