My Conversion To Judaism Is Almost Complete (I Will Be FINISHED This Year)

NO, some people are convinced they need religion because organize religion exploits their emotions, ignorance and the innate human desire for community.
does religion do that, or pastors?

and all pastors by default treat their congregation as a "flock" or put another way as animals that cannot do what he does

did the book cause that relationship or the person holding the book

contrast that visual

it also makes you contemplate other pieces of literature completely different

to me one of the big liberations was learning full context to each passage

i was always taught in this way (because of pastors designing sermons each sunday). They want to address a topic and so they grab so many verses that are relevant to the topic and then talk about their sermon which ends up 10x longer than the actual verse quotes

but when I went to the Orthodox church (greek) I was completely taken aback at the "Liturgical" service as its called and it made me see everything differently. And where I did not pay attention to Judaism I actually opened up to it completely to understand each part of the narrative that was never taught to me in the protestant sphere.

even Islam "sounds" different when under a liturgical lense
