In today's Gospel reading from Luke 14, Jesus spelled out the requirements for anyone who wants to be his disciple. They include "hating you own family members and even your own life," "carrying your own cross," and "renouncing all your own possessions." If these requirements were asked on a test, will you pass or fail?
Should you think what the Lord asks for is too harsh or demanding, then you can always find another religion much less stringent in its teaching or a Christian denomination that makes sure that members won't be offended in any way.
You get what you pay for.
