Questions for theist and atheist

[Arkilogue]

Hi

I have few questions .So my first question is: How do know that you worship your god properly? Do god gived commands on how to worship him, is he instructed how chruch ceremonies should go?

And if answered that god give specific  commands on what to do in church, for priests and participants.Please give proof from bible or other holy book.

Is religion (as organization, or structure) manmade, or god made?

I take the word religion at it's base meaning from the Latin religare': to tie, to fasten, to bind together. And this I take personally in the ways and means of practice that tie/bind (yoke) me to the will of God. Many find solace in consensus with those who believe under the same label but If there is a God, I doubt we are judged as groups after death but as individuals, one to One, "to each according to what they have done."

My personal practice of religion has evolved and grown as I have. Just as a beginning musician can barely play guitar and sing at the same time, then with practice they become fluent and and their repertoire of skillful expression grows.

Is organization/structure man made or God made? Both and the later first. Think of the structure that God made as a river and the order that man makes is his method of navigation through the moving waters. Unskillful navigation without respect to the movement of the water will capsize your boat. Man can move harmoniously (good religion) or dis-harmoniously (bad religion) through the medium that is already provided. Ultimately only through personal trail and error will one truly grow and know what it is they are doing....rather than just taking someone else's word for it and believing/doing what ever they do.

Reply 1: what god? worship? huh?  -- If you prove to me that a deity actually exists, maybe.  But even then, it is hard for me to imagine such a creature needing humans to gather together and sing about how great IT is, so that IT will answer prayers maybe.

Reply 2:  Instructions for worship come from your local witch doctor.  Consult with him and you're in.

If a/The God exists, you are interacting with it no matter what you label it, and whether you do or don't conceptualize it.

If The God is truly infinite and eternal, then a single static conception of it would be more limiting to the interaction than no conception at all.
