Christians and Muslims Go Back & Forth on YouTube In A Spoken Word Battle /
“Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus” is one of the most thought-provoking, convicting poems that I’ve ever heard. However powerful, the poem has sparked a wrath of controversy on YouTube, including responses from Catholics, Muslims and Atheist:
I like Muslims (I have Muslim friends …lol), but I also make no apologies for being a Christian. When I watched the Muslim response to the video—“Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus”—I was floored by how factually flawed some of the statements were, letting me know how ill-informed we all are about each other's religion. The proclamation that Christians believe that God, the almighty, died on the cross is simply not true. Christians believe that Jesus Christ, the son of God, died on the cross for all of our sins. My Muslim poet friend does have a point when he talks about Christians worshipping the cross.
This guy is asserting that you cannot separate Jesus and religion--a premise that I disagree with, vehemently!
All those poems were touching, however none of them changed my mind on how I feel about God or Jesus Christ. Though each one was very entertaining and somewhat moving, my stance on Christ, God and religion remains the same. It was interesting to watch, though. What did y'all think?
