The Celebtricity story claimed Franklin
said: "Every human being was wired with the desire for happiness. And we
will try different things all in the pursuit of that feeling. I'm
saying, if you really want to be happy, you have to start with YOURSELF,
don't be brainwashed by a make believe deity. My goal is to try to lead
people to the manufacturer of their souls because we all know Jesus is
as fake as the Easter Bunny."
One of Franklin's fans who believed the story tweeted a message to the producer last week: "@KirkFranklin
Jesus is as Fake as the Easter Bunny (link:

The Grammy Award winning singer reassured his fans in a prompt reply on Twitter: "I never said this my brother ... Jesus IS and ALWAYS will be, my Lord and Savior."
Read his take on the present religious system:
"Religion, throughout the years, has become a very oppressive thing that doesn't allow people to get to know the God it was created to try to lead them to.

"So basically, it's just like marriage cannot guarantee
intimacy, religion doesn't guarantee relationship. It doesn't guarantee
you're going to have a loving, relationship with God. So God becomes
this distant person that's always pointing at my sins, always beating me
up and you never know Him as a friend and as a father."
"I would never say that claiming you're a Christian is wrong. I understand that there is a human aspect of being able to identify people whether it's African American, Hispanic or Asian," he said. "But the definition doesn't define the relationship, meaning you can be married and still not know intimacy. You can be religious and not know relationship."
