Christianity "Lite"

The notion of "lite," says a university expert on popular culture, is a trend in American culture. "That is for everybody to be utterly selfish about themselves, for people to want easy cures, easy riches, easy jobs, and easy wealth." And easy salvation?

Well, yes, you might say; Jesus said that his yoke was easy and his burden light. Yeah, no sweat, no effort, easy does it--Christians are on a dreamship to heaven. "Light is right, man, 'cause Jesus, he said so." ... Not only is the burden light, there is none.
