I think that's wonderful. I walk with Jesus, Baha'u'lah (mainly) and Buddha a lot. I heard God's voice by really didn't start walking with God in the fullness until I became a Baha'i. Jesus is beautiful; His teachings were so hard that he told His Disciples that "many things I cannot say; you could not bear (to hear) them". And He promised us The Comforter and The Second Coming...I think you will enjoy the following Writing about Religion...
Religion must be the cause of love. Religion must be the cause of justice, for the wisdom of the Manifestations of God is directed toward the establishing of the bond of a love which is indissoluble. The bonds which hold together the body politic are not sufficient. These bonds may be mentioned—for instance, the bond of patriotism. This is evidently not a sufficient bond, for how often it happens that people of the same nation wage civil war amongst themselves. The bond of fellowship may be racial, but history proves this is not sufficiently strong, for tremendous wars have broken out between peoples of the same racial lineage. Again, the bond holding men together may be political. How often it happens that the diplomacy of nations makes a treaty of peace one day and on the morrow a declaration of war! It is historically evident and manifest that these bonds are not self-sufficient.
The real bond of integrity is religious in character, for religion indicates the oneness of the world of humanity. Religion serves the world of morality. Religion purifies the hearts. Religion impels men to achieve praiseworthy deeds. Religion becomes the cause of love in human hearts, for religion is a divine foundation, the foundation ever conducive to life. The teachings of God are the source of illumination to the people of the world. Religion is ever constructive, not destructive. (Abdul-Baha, Baha'i Faith)

I block religious proselytizers. I do not agree with cult behavior.
