[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me, it’s personal relationship with Jesus that is the attraction. Praying to my creator/maker/savior to express gratitude, joy, praise...confess fears, ask forgiveness for sins,seek truth and wisdom from Biblical teachings that provide a perfect example of love of God and others that I can use as a model and guide while I’m on this earth. I think personally for me it helps answer the why and redirects purpose when I feel confused, frustrated or lost. In short, it’s a comfort and peace, but also helps to center my aspirations to live my life in LOVE and for LOVE.

Other people may have other reasons for engaging in their religion (e.g., tradition, connection to past and family, emotional fulfillment, substitute for meditation, etc.) and those probably play a role for me as well but it’s mostly the reasons above for me personally. [/quote]

When I have a personal relationship with someone, I can see them them, touch them, hear them.  Your relationship seems more like meditation.[/quote]
