This is not really relevant but all this reminds me of one of my favourite episodes of criminal minds called Minimal Loss in Season 4 where a libertarian ranch is taken over by a religious guy who twists them all into believing too. And then the leader says to Dr Reid, "If God wanted me to stop, he would've sent me a sign" or something like that and then he is shot and Dr Reid replies "He just did."
Not really relevant but still awesome because Dr Reid is awesome.

What does religion mean to me?
Going to a friend's service about a year ago changed the way i think about that actually (I'm fairly conservative & she by contrast is in a more evangelical community) - it's about your relationship with God. I think a few people go to church & get caught up in all the rituals & traditions & stuff (which are good in their own way!!) but I think it's more about getting out there & helping people, being kind to each other & treating people as you would like to be treated. I'm not saying I'm perfect at this, I'm human after all, but it's something I strive for every day & it gives me meaning in life.
