How religious are you?

Religious? 

I don’t understand what “religion” is all about, except that it’s a man made structure to lead humanity to believe in certain ways. 

The definition of religion is :

the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.
"ideas about the relationship between science and religion"
Similar:

• a particular system of faith and worship.

  plural noun: religions

  "the world's great religions"
• a pursuit or interest to which someone ascribes supreme importance.

  "consumerism is the new religion"

 A superhuman controlling power? 

So like Superman? Being religious would be following someone like him and believing in him as your savior.. kind of like in the movies. So they sort of create religions around superhero’s ... hmm. 

Thought bubble. 

So creating importance around something that you “worship” that is so vital to your life that it becomes what you basically (consume isn’t the right word).. (soak up).. (engulf).. I can’t think of the word.. do you get what I mean? Pretty much immersing yourself in it, whatever it may be (person, place or thing).. and following it like your life depends on it. 

So a religion is something that you do .. religiously. 

Meaning, something that your whole life revolves around, something you believe in so much that it’s your core. 

I don’t have that. 

I’ve never had that. 

That would be creating an idol out of something that is created by a creator. 

Making a visual image that you can worship and revolve around that has nothing to do with the Trinity of God. The cross that Jesus hung on could be an idol, then, because some people worship the cross, instead of realizing that the cross is a reminder of what the person of Jesus actually did. 

He isn’t the cross.. the cross is a reminder of the sacrifice of God the father creating a physical Son so that the Spirit could live in our souls and guide us to heaven. (The trinity working together, as it should, in community.)

How religious am I?

I’m not. 

I’m in a relationship with the One Being who could ever give me life and grace.
