What does your religion mean to you?

Billy,

Thanks.

Haha, is your name AJ by chance? You sound exactly like a coworker of mine called AJ, and I mean EXACTLY.

Any way, I would like to thank you for really going into depth on this one. If you would like to argue your points (I noticed that you phrased a lot of things in a sort of debating/challenging manner, though that might just be me), I would like to encourage you to not use this thread, but resurrect a religious debate thread instead. It seems like almost all threads about religion so far had turned into big debates, and this one is not about arguing that you are right, it’s meant for saying what you believe and what it means to you. I would not like this one to end up in a heated argument, as then I fear that people would feel too intimidated to answer the original questions, or get too caught up in the debate to pay any attention to the original questions. I love well-thought out religious debates (as long as they do really come with logical assertions and not just a bunch of people arguing with no thought or knowledge), but that’s not for here. So yeah, if you would like, post what you said in the thread that I had linked.

Edit: Also, you hadn’t said this directly, but I assume that you interpret the bible in a completely literal manner?
