I never really bought that, even when I was a christian. How exactly do you have a personal relationship with someone you can only know about through second hand sources? Either reading a book, or listening to other people? How can so many people have a personal relationship with a guy, and have so many conflicting ideas about him? I know if I have a friend, I may get confused about what he's like, and what he wants, compared to a third peron. However we can both go to this friend, get the facts straight, and the debate is over. Right out of that person's mouth. We aren't going to spend the rest of our lives telling each other that they're going to be punished because they misinterpreted something, or one passage in his book overrides another passage.
Religion likes to twist the definition of words like relationship and love and mercy and justice, so it fits what they believe.
