Religion can be cruel

Again he entered the synagogue, and a man was there with a withered hand. And they watched Jesus, to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse him. And he said to the man with the withered hand, “Come here.” And he said to them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to kill?” But they were silent. And he looked around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored. The Pharisees went out and immediately held counsel with the Herodians against him, how to destroy him.  Mark 3:1-6 (ESV)

It seems as if Jesus was always looking to see if a Pharisee was in the area.  When they were present, Jesus did something kind to expose their evil.

Religion can be cruel and evil, whereas a relationship with God, true Christianity, is kind.

Anger and grief are normal responses to a Godless religious system that uses rather than loves people, and we would be best to have nothing to do with it.
