Of course, it's an invalid question. There are very few here who are academics employed in religious studies, so none of us are doing it for academic study.

Is there anything wrong with that? Nope. I was just curious if we revised the question to be more spiritually-oriented, how the responses would fall.

That's different from, for a lack of a better word, a more "spiritual" approach ... seeking the Spirit during study, focusing on personal application, etc. A combination of the two is necessary, I think, for an enriched study experience.
