I Believe Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Before you speak to me about your religion,
first show it to me in how you treat other people;
before you tell me how much you love your God,
Show me in how much you love all His children;
before you preach to me of your passion for your faith,
teach me about it through your compassion for your neighbors.
In the end, I'm not as interested in what you have to tell or sell
as I am in how you choose to live and give.

It is not advisable to talk Religion as a test subject.
I believe that a human argues , fights and even gives his life for religion , but always very reluctant at the time of implementation.

I never debate religion, but I'm interested in what others believe and how they choose to implement it into their daily life..if at all.

kalukhan

All religions are based on humanity, love and nothing else.
The only differences are interpretations

kalukhan

Go towards the religion, than waiting for religion to come to u.

SolitaryElf

Not all religions

kalukhan

All madam, if humanity and love is missing in it, then it is not a religion.

SolitaryElf

You do not understand what constitutes a religion -
.
religion
rɪˈlɪdʒ(ə)n/
noun
noun: religion
.
the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.
.

a particular system of faith and worship.
.
a pursuit or interest followed with great devotion.
.
Your definition is not a requirement for something to be a religion

kalukhan

Sooner or later everyone has to bow down to that controlling power

SolitaryElf

And that controlling power is not always humanity or love

kalukhan

Had that controlling power be human, he would have hated his humans with different standards, his standard remains the same, for all those u worship him or not.
The standard remains the same.

SolitaryElf

The standard is not humanity and love - the standard is worship and devotion. You can worship and be devoted yet not base the religion on humanity and love as you claimed.

kalukhan

Then where u place love towards humanity and living beings.
By worship with devotion u do good to ur self.

SolitaryElf

The consequences to ones self does not mean the intent is love. Intent and consequences are 2 totally different things. There is at least one religion and probably more that places no weight on loving humans or any other form of living beings.
