Does Jesus Hate Religion? Kinda, Sorta, Not Really\

I like DeYoung, but I am not sure if he needed to write so much ripping into this guys poem. I'm sure if I tried to write a poem it wouldn't have the accuracy DeYoung would want: Does Jesus Hate Religion? Kinda, Sorta, Not Really – Kevin DeYoung:
The strengths in this poem are the strengths I see in many young Christians—a passionate faith, a focus on Jesus, a love for grace, and a hatred for anything phony or self-righteous. The weaknesses here can be the weaknesses of my generation (and younger)—not enough talk of repentance and sanctification, a tendency to underestimate the importance of obedience in the Christian life, a one-dimensional view of grace, little awareness that our heavenly Father might ever discipline his children or be grieved by their continued transgression, and a penchant for sloganeering instead of careful nuance.
