'Keep Portland Weird' is a slogan you will find on t-shirts, bumper stickers, and on buildings in Portland, Oregon. It is a call to non-conformity, to be unique, different, even strange. By those standards, Portland is definitely weird, and that is not a bad thing to be.
Jesus is Weird. He always has been, and always will be.
There are a multitude of religions and philosophies throughout the world. It does not need another feel-good ideology that fails when times get tough, and your 'feelings' are not so good. It does not need a shiny cross or a stained-glass window to gaze upon like a remembrance of things that once were. It does not need another denomination or non-denomination.
The world does need Jesus. It needs the unique, radically different, non-conforming Jesus. Don't make Jesus into just another religion, instead
Keep Jesus Weird!
