Modern Christian sayings and mottos that I disagree with:
"who are you to judge?"
"Thou shall not judge"
"racism is evil"
"You must be tolerant of other people's beliefs"
"It's our duty as Christians to spread the gospel by going to third world nations and trying to teach niggers how to filter water and not shit where they eat"
"those who bless Israel will be blessed. those who curse Israel will be cursed"
"jews don't have to believe in Jesus to go to heaven. Only non-jews do. jews can hate Jesus and go to heaven because deys God's special chosens peoples."
"Respect our veterans who served and fought for your rights even though they were really just fighting for kikes"
"Jesus was a jew"
"You must be baptized by the water. Let me dunk you into this big fish tank and humiliate you or else you are not a real Christian."
Anyone that spent 5 minutes reading any Old Testament or New Testament book coming to the conclusion that “racism is bad” should be sent back to kindergarten

Something that is inescapable in the gospels in particular is that Jesus emphasizes *how you live your life* trumps all else, functionally, regardless of all the theological mumbo jumbo.
I think there's a strong argument to be made that "knowing" Jesus comes through your actions and how you orient yourself towards the world and other people, rather than organized religion or intellectual assent. He himself says that many will come before him, claiming not to have served him, only to be contradicted by their lives in review ("When you did these things for the least of these, you did them for me.")
In any case, I'm sure he means the church *today* is entirely rotten, which I agree with wholeheartedly. What it was XXXX years ago is no longer relevant to solving our situation.
