Can water be too wet?

When I was in high school, still going to a Catholic school but reading and studying the Bible enthusiastically, I told my friend that I didn't call the priests "Father" because the Bible says we shouldn't call any man "Father" because our true father is in Heaven. My friend told me I was taking the Bible, and God, too seriously. Too seriously?? God, who created the universe and gave me life, who ordains every single thing that happens every day, and who has complete authority over all of eternity? I was taking HIM too seriously?? It is impossible to take God too seriously.
