As for me, I believe they are real and that belief affects my life in a very deep and personal way. And so it follows that since Jesus Christ is the full actualization of what is Good and True, I have a personal relationship with Him. Does that make sense to you?

(FWIW I consider the this way of stating it as just a more philosophical way and without the "churchspeak" manner that Drich used above.)

It makes sense only superficially. There is a major problem of vagueness in your answer. So it's still not clear to me what your relationship with Jesus really is like. How is your relationship with Jesus different from the relationship former Christians claim they had with him? Perhaps some examples may help?

Oh! Oh! Oh! I got this.

The difference is that those who still follow an imaginary friend aren't smart enough to break it off while there's still time.
