You wanted to know what I meant when I said I misrepresented myself. This seems to be the right place to answer it.

I actually haven't misrepresented myself except to the extent that my name says nothing about me. I just separated the two (religion, myself) in answer to your question in order to see if you would figure out that it is actually impossible to separate them. What you believe actually defines you. They are your choices on how you will act in situations. Additionally, how you make yourself act will help define your beliefs.

Jesus concentrated on how we are to act and how we are to control our thoughts. He knew that beliefs are just words until they are acted upon.

Does this help?
