“religion Has Become Very Oppressive”- Kirk Franklin by rawglobalnewss: 8:57pm On Oct 29, 2015
Kirk Franklin’s title for his 11th studio album “Losing My Religion” sparked a mixed reaction. Last month, the 45-year-old took to Instagram to reveal the title of the album, writing:

“In the beginning religion created a mask … for generations church was where we went to go hide …. rules without relationship is empty inside. … There’s room at the cross for everyone even me … religion is a prison, but truth sets us free. The preacher isn’t God, religion’s first mistake … I’m losing my religion, Thank God … Helping you lose yours is my job.”

On “Tom Joyner Morning Show”, the Gospel singer explains why he believes people should focus on their relationship with Christ more than anything else.
“Religion, throughout the years, has become a very oppressive thing that doesn’t allow people to get to know the God it was created to try to lead them to. So basically, it’s just like marriage cannot guarantee intimacy, religion doesn’t guarantee relationship,” the recording artist and songwriter said.

“It doesn’t guarantee you’re going to have a loving relationship with God. So God becomes this distant person that’s always pointing at my sins, always beating me up and you never know Him as a friend and as a father.”

I expect people to bash him for stating the obvious truth.

Focus on Jesus. Leave religion.
Eat spinach. Avoid vegetables.
Eat muffins. Avoid bakeries.

Religion is cancer of the mind. God is a symptom.

I respect Kirk as a musician though. Used to have his albums on audio cassettes.

He is getting there but not quite there. He needs to realize he is the God he needs to have a relationship with. Self appreciation is the key.

Religion begs for rights when it has none then steps on the rights of others when it gets it.

perhaps uneasy of its own acquisition of humoungous rights and power, it feels it is it's right to trample on the rights of others.

One thing about all this is that, they will be oppressing you at the same time shouting that they are the victims....
