It's not a religion it's a relationship. That is what I've heard from numbers of people in the Christian community, usually when they are proselytizing . Is there a way to analyze the accuracy of that statement?
In channeling the wit of Jeff Foxworthy:
- It may be religion if you keep your personal failures and faults to yourself.
- It may be religion if you demand that others believe EXACTLY like you do.
- It may be religion if fear and shame are the glue that holds people together.
I heard it said by someone that religion works best and religious people succeed when people hide who they are.
So the question I ask myself as a professed follower of God is, is what I am experiencing a religion, or a relationship?
