I believe we are in a constant state of reformation.  Continual renewal of our minds.  Growing in grace and depth of insight.   I do not want to become a stagnant Christian.
Oooo this was the first time I have ever been called a *traditional religionist*..doesn't sound too bad.  I know I have been called worse!  lol
I did appreciate your explanation, very much.  It was thoughtful, well laid out and should make many people *think* as they read it.  
We should always be willing to be challenged in our faith.  If it is true, then one has no reason to fear or shrink back.  I love to learn.
