"Practice" religion?
December 21, 2018 at 1:12 pm
I really hate use of the word "Practice" when it comes to religion, ANY RELIGION in the world.

You practice medicine. You practice music. You practice a sport. You practice law. The only thing you are doing with a religion is following it.

Repeating words in a book or rituals is following. The psychology is for the individual to justify why they are good. 

Sorry, but what is to "practice" about being non violent and not steeling from others and having empathy for others? That should be a no brainer. 

I don't need a god, or holy person, or old book to refrain form doing harm to others. Refraining from harming others requires no practice at all.
