If you’re the type who’s not really that into Jesus anymore, go read the clever little essay by Owen Egerton, “Jesus and I Broke Up,” reposted here. [Hat tip: comment #3 at this Mormon Matters post.] In fact, go read it even if you are really into Jesus and one of his denominations. Here’s one paragraph just to give you a taste of the essay.

I should have seen it coming. It started with these little disagreements. Something he’d say would set me off. “And what did you mean by that?” I suppose it’s natural to argue, but he had to be right about everything. It was all black and white for him. In hindsight I can see that these squabbles were the symptoms of a larger problem. I didn’t trust him anymore. Didn’t trust what he said, didn’t trust what he wanted, didn’t trust who he was. Weeks passed with hardly a word between us. Eventually the day came when we both knew. This wasn’t just a rough patch or a dry spell. It was over.
