I think it's a severe injustice to your soul, it doesn't harm God, but God's right over you is still there, and it's a greater right then all other rights.

I think your stance is influenced by dark false thinking, that, what you are doing has honor or merit. This is vanity in my view. You are immersed in your own opinion by whatever you say to be what you want (so you follow your low desires) and you make respectable to be what you want, while you don't do so on insight.

The issue is one thing in the sermon is that the Angels developed a little bit of vanity in worshiping God all those years, and when told a mortal in the earth would become a representative over them, they were in a little bit vain in their response.

So we see they were tried to the extent they had to prostrate to Adam, and God also showed them spiritual things they could not understand but had to not learn it from God, but from Adam who manifested to them spiritually in ways we cannot fathom in our present state.

Iblis however failed in this respect. 

The acts in Islam like prostrating in prayer to God, fasting, all this has an effect on the soul. Or it ought to. Unfortunately many of us are heedless in our prayer (salah) and we don't do it really in the spirit, so our outward form has little effect in producing inward results.

However with people who perform these acts with the spirit meant for them, they will see things, taste things, eat things, and understand wisdom that others don't. They will be immersed in vision of God's Signs, which in the Unseem realm beyond the 6 days, is very closely related to God.



In short Rob, you simply don't know what your missing out on and are making up standards for yourself with no basis in reality.

Lastly, if you have enough humbleness to be attracted and recognize the holy and exalted nature of the guide of our time, then you will see what journey he will take you by entering on the ship that steers and anchors by the name of God.

One day humanity will be unveiled the nature of the love of the Guides, and what journey lied in that path.

When you can present some actual evidence for any gods your rantings might be taken seriously.

Until then, not so much.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
