But why should this be the spirit of humans? Why not an act of valuing morality or God? Why not an act of love towards God or goodness or people. Why not of appreciation of God?
Why is the religion described to be submission? Why not love?
In the Bible it is reported the two laws are love of God with all the heart and love of each human like love of yourself.
That makes more sense as a religion and law, then submission. Submission implies people do it out of a sense of duty. But I don't think this an accurate description of how humans or even Muslims operate.
People act out of valuing, loving, appreciating...People connect to the Divine because God means something great to them.
Worship shouldn't be an act of submission, but an act of love.
IMHO it is because the manipulators who invented the religion wanted people to blindly follow whatever they said without question.
They wanted an easily controllable population and military.
