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?
Linear, here is the question from Russ that you wouldn't answer in another thread due to it being off-topic. I will re-post it here so people are clear what was asked:

I'm sorry LinearAQ. I'm not sure where you're coming from.
You claim to be a Christian but you tear apart the integrity of the Bible and believe in evolution, a religion that is mutually exclusive with the Bible, except that you've accepted the "new" evolution twist claiming that it is only natural selection, and you claim that IT is NOT contradictory to the Bible.
OK. We'll get back to that.
I never received an answer from you on this previous question:
QUESTION: If the Bible is unreliable (as you said), then how can you believe that Christ is who He said He was? What is your basis for evidence supporting Christ's claim?
I'll be watching for your answer.
Thanks in advance.
Know that I don't mean to offend you. I only have found that you seem to contradict yourself and this has—understandably—cast doubt on your integrity, which should be expected in this circumstance.
If you can provide a logical answer for the above question, perhaps this will enable me to know that you are being honest about who you are. Remember, it was YOU who originally stated that you had misrepresented yourself.

None of these questions will be answered by me in this thread because it is about bat evolution and the evidence thereof. If you wish to start another thread or put it in an existing thread that is at least tangentially related to your questions, then I will address them.
If you do so, please notify me in whatever means is most convenient for you. That way I can give your requests my immediate attention.
I am unsure whether you have answered this already or not somewhere else, but I cannot see in your post here what addresses/answers the specific and clear questions Russ asked of you.
