I guess what I don't get in your comment is the assumption that seeing everything as "merely 'text'" (merely? what does that even mean in this context?) somehow prohibits me from making "deeply meaningful connections" to it. I've seen this attitude before; the assumption that approaching the world as text is somehow a cold, heartless thing to do.
But I'm a writer, and a reader; texts (narrowly defined) are, if anything, the quintessential locus of meaningful connection for me. Also, a member of a church which, alongside reason and experience, orients itself chiefly in relation to a (again, narrowly-defined) text.
