text: Nicholas Kristof spouts utter nonsense. The very core of Christianity is that Jesus is God. And guess what - Jesus repudiated "religion" because He fulfilled all ceremony, priesthood, catechism, etc. by the finished work of the Cross - His death, burial and resurrection. Religiosity is a throwback to pre-Christ behavior, and if modern church-goers wallow in religion, they have nothing in common with the God of the universe.
  
  Not that anybody has to believe that Jesus is God. That's their choice. But it's a shame for anyone to reject reality.
