A passage from the Bible that reveals Jesus' true thoughts about family. Quite a contrast from the 'love thy neighbour' spiel.
Luke 14:25-27 (NIV)
Large crowds were travelling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters - yes, even his own life - he cannot be my disciple. And anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.
