"The Church is a whore…

…but she is my mother." - St. Augustine
How did Christians get so religious? Where did we go wrong? How is it that being forgiven has made us feel so guilty, being loved has made us so uptight, and being free has made us so bound? How did sinners who have been forgiven repeatedly become judges?
The Church really is a mess, but be careful…that's Jesus' wife we're talking about. No matter how jacked up she is, a man will put his foot down if you start talking bad about his old lady.
With that in mind, on this edition of the Scandalous Freedom Podcast, Steve Brown begins to take a look at how (and why) institutionalized religion can be a hard taskmaster.
