Breaking News: Jesus Christ has been dismissed by society as the Savior of the World.
Society spokesman, Jack Preacher, remarks, "Sin and, therefore, guilt has been eliminated. We just don't need Jesus anymore."
Sociologists report that all of the world's ills can be explained so that no one is actually responsible for what they have done. The liar is only trying to protect himself. There are myriads of reasons people commit adultery. None of them point back the adulterer. It is always because of their relationships with their mothers or their wives or some other self esteem problem which causes it. The bully is reacting to parents who have treated him poorly. Those poor parents are reacting to the bad economy. Greed is merely a fear of not having enough to survive. Mass murders are caused by psychological problems. Even religious jihad comes from a sense of justice for the past oppression of other governments.
No one has sinned because their actions do not reflect their own decisions. They have been coerced or forced into each and every one of them. No one needs to feel guilty. Each and every person can rest on the fact that actions which hurt others were not really caused by them. They were merely reacting to something that was either happening within themselves or was thrust upon them. They can be assured that no one can hold them accountable. They shouldn't even expect God to do so.
The Rev. Dr. Preacher was asked what should be done with those who have been sent to prison. The question arose whether they could be held accountable for their crimes if society itself wasn't accountable. He answered, "We need to keep those in prison so that they cannot hurt others. I know it isn't their fault but our society would fall apart if we allowed people to hurt others. We simply put them there for their own good. I am sure they didn't really want to commit the crimes which landed them in prison but they were disposed in doing so. Taking them out of society eliminates their reaction to a society which causes them to commit crimes."
"You see," continued Preacher, "We just don't need Jesus any more. In fact, we really don't want Him to be around. He still makes people feel guilty even when they really aren't. We need to do more than dismiss Him. We need to get rid of Him; take even the thought of Him out of society. Otherwise, some misled person might actually believe he or she is responsible for something which would be called a sin and want to bring Him back."
"I guess we really have to crucify Him if we really want to get rid of Him, huh?"
Romans 1:28-32 (ESV)
28
And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.
29
They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips,
30
slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,
31
foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless.
32
Though they know God’s decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.

Rev Dr Preacher continues, "I have an idea. It is not hard to rid of Jesus from the heart of an individual. I call it OSAS. This is how it works:
First, we tell people there is this Jesus who lived and died more than 2,000 years ago, who when we believe that he died for us, we will have all our sins, past, present, and future, forgiven of us, instantly; yes, even the future bits are forgiven straightaway, before they are committed. We tell the people, it is not difficult; all they need to do, is to say a one or two minute so-called Sinner's Prayer, and it is finished. They can then go on with their lives, and when they die, they would go to Heaven, the most awesome, awesome, and awesome place, where there is peace and joy, and no sorrow. Once we tell them salvation is by grace, and we tell them in such a way that God saved them unconditionally, meaning they did nothing for it, and so, nothing they do, not even idolatry or murder, could ever cause them to lose the salvation, their mind will know what to do. Some will have their mind telling them to do like the 1st Adam did! Just follow it, if questioned, just blame it on Rev Dr Preacher, God has placed here to teach us! Others will have their mind telling them to just go with the populous view which is also the path of least effort, even no effort! No need even to change any lifestyle; in fact, can still do whatever they like, or do nothing, just bask away or bask in grace, without affecting their going to Heaven. They will buy it that their name is written in the Book of life and will not ever be blotted out, like they go, buy a movie ticket in advance and then they go, do whatever they want and come back later and they can enter the cinema and their seats will be there waiting for them. Jesus?! Oh, it is alright, just like they have forgotten who Napoleon Bonaparte was, they would soon forget Jesus; given back to Rev Dr Preacher, the teacher, so to speak. You see, in this way, we show Jesus to the door, without the people even missing him!"
Well, there are already many Rev Dr Preacher out there, and indeed the followers are great in numbers.

Thank you. This would be funny if it was not what some actually want done.
