thank you oh wise one....no sarcasim there truly thanks...why do we behave so crazy when we often know the truth...

Quite simply

We put things we think are important before Love

Being right
God
Stuff
Self interest
Land

etc




Thank you - Made me think

My religion doesn't have a lot of services as we have no priests.. I am free to attend the services of other religions as long as I don't give the impression I am a follower of them.. so I wouldn't for instance actually take communion or do something that would imply I am a member of them. I am not to deceive others or dissemble.

Good point Art. I can see where "going along" could be seen as deceiving if it goes against one's own belief, but there is a place of love...that we all may share in together : )

I find myself in the same boat. I attend Christian services with my wife weekly, but I do not participate in most cases. However, I have been rethinking this a bit, and one of the things that Einstein said about attending services makes me wonder. Even though he thought that prayer to God was meaningless as far as attempting to get God to change his creation to fit our wants, he did consider it harmless in a way in that it at least tended to humble us a bit, which sometimes we may need.

Gandhi, on the other hand, felt it was quite acceptable to pray to God in any church, temple, mosque, synagogue, or just outside, and he often conducted services that incorporated prayers of other religions. But what he would not do is to pray to any specific religious figure other than God, such as Jesus or the Buddha, etc.
