How people follow what's easy in their religion

article image placeholderUploaded by @Guruball1
If you believe in what the books say, then you have to go against what the laws of the government says, but yet you have to also respect those laws that you're governed under and not break them. But you don't have to like them. You don't have to agree with them. You just don't break the law. But you know what the law is? It's God's law. Why do you think that they separate church and state?

So I certainly agree that, yeah, we follow what's easy for us. And I think, you know, if you're going to subscribe to a faith like you said, you got to do better. We got to do better because if we're following any type of faith, we didn't create it. We didn't create the rules or the bylaws, so we got to follow what's been created

But if you didn't meet another sister besides out of the math gym, you have to speak to her. You want your wife to meet her. And there's things that you have to go through before you just get up and get married. Because Allah says in the Quran, you can have one, two, three or four wives, but one is better for you if you but knew. So. Because it's just not about having four wives

Next thing you know, once you get comfortable, within, like, 90 days, you know, 120 days, you closing the door at 450 because you ready to go home at five. We don't close until five, though, right? We didn't close to five. So how are you closing ten minutes early? That's wrong. That's wrong. The rules that the store has, that the business has is that they close at 05:00. 05:00. Not 450

And you got denominations and you got different orders and sec t six of, like, different, like, religions and spiritual organizations and practices that are known. That that happens. Entire wars have went down over these real world wars, current wars. Even. So, it's strange

So, you know, it's like, if you're going to do these things, do not be though there's something in Islam that says, do not be of those who preach righteous conduct, but do not do it yourself. Do not preach righteous conduct and do not practice it yourself. Because once it's coming out of your mouth, you know, and if you know better and you should act better, if you know better, do better

You know, like, you know, we have so many things that we need to fix ourselves, so many issues that we have, so many things we struggle with, yet we put focus on other people. Like, the way we treat other people is exactly how we feel about ourselves. Exactly how we feel about ourselves. And I laugh when you said that part about him coming in, dressing up for work

Hello guru ball one. Thank you for your post. Definitely have thought of this throughout my lifetime. Never been trained under any particular religion myself growing up so I've definitely questioned this so thank you for that. As you were talking what came to mind is people are choosing the same patterns and what I see that pattern is which is consistent in our lives is doing what we are told

Thank you very much for your reply. I'm sorry it took me so long to respond. I just saw it. Yes, I agree with you 100%. You can tell me anything in the world, but then you have to show me where the book is so I can look it up and read it myself. Because everyone that reads something does not necessarily comprehend what they're reading

And she says because I believe in God and I believe that I should walk a certain way. My parents taught me if you believe then use it on yourself. And if you use it on yourself correctly other people will see it because you will shine. And that's exactly what she was doing. And this is what people do. You can see the righteousness in people. They don't have to tell you because they shine. They bring joy to your life

And there are many practices, but when you think about seminaries, which is formal, like document based education, and monasteries, which is the opposite, you know, that sort of thing, it opens the door to the idea that, okay, most people don't even know that even within their pre, I would say, installed belief system that they're giving from the point they're born, that there's alternative routes to discovering the beauty of belief and faith within them

Those acronyms I saw, you know, years ago and still today, you could, you know, the acronyms for Bible itself, basic instructions before leaving Earth, which is implying that this book must be for where we are going, it said, because before leaving Earth. So I think the whole idea with religion is based on the 8 billion people at this time on the planet having a different interpretation to get to the exact same place if the destination is looking for God

And then you was making a statement about how people, like, don't really know how to judge phony from real. And this is because of how we hide behind technology so much now. I mean, you know, you got people that. You start relationships by text messages on your own, the phone, and you have conversations about text messages, so you don't get the tone or the feedback of the individual or how they feel

Guru ball one man, I appreciate your response, and it's so real. And like I say, I'm 55 years old, and as yourself, as you speak, I'm listening. As you come from the era, as myself, is something real, you know, more genuine and authentic, you know, so I'm getting lost in the translation of a lot of these things as well. And that's why I'm not on a lot of social media platforms
