I think there is a similar inverse truth that is hard to state clearly. A lot of people think they are close to God because they have read "His book," but there are patterns of behavior in the people ...
As a devout Christian, I largely agree. It sounds trite but I don’t think Jesus came to set up a religion as we know of the term. The church was little revolutionary outposts meeting in homes, sacrificing for their neighbors and living rich, meaningful lives. I don’t think tradition is all bad but it has certainly often distracted us from the core of Jesus’ teaching: love Gos and love our neighbors.
