As for me, I've discovered that God does not care about all these religious crap -- how much water, spit on which side after a bad dream, pray how many times a day, covering the head, etc,etc,etc,etc......

THEJA AND HER EVIL SPIRITS TALKING
no doubt !

[Theja]

Oh, yes, I can see that Satan is not happy. Satan is not happy when his traps (religious bondage/rules) are exposed. Satan uses religion to keep people in bondage. The Taliban used religion to promote poverty and misery in the land. The Mullahs use religion to illegally control the people of Iran. The Saudis use religion to keep the oil wealth to a family enterprise.

_____________________________________

I need to clarify something. You see, getting away from religion does not mean you give up personal responsibilities. You still have to use your time and money wisely, have good personal conducts (moral strenght), be a good citizen, etc.

When I say get away from religion, I mean break every religious rules that is keeping you in fear and find out that God is not mad at you at all. (Of course, your family or your society may get mad at you because they are still under religious bondage and are afraid of freedom).

I emphasised PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITIES, bacause whether one is religious or not, one has to live with certain obligations and responsibilities.

Be a good father if you are one. Be a good mother if you are one. Be a deligent student if you are one. ETC, etc, etc.

Other than that: break every religious rules that you know and declare your freedom. Then in your private room, or on the mountain, or in the restaurant, or whatever place you feel comfortable, talk to God from your heart: "Dear God, the one true God out there, I really want to know you and live for you. I want to feel your love and love you back as my response. Reveal yourself in my heart, open my eyes, and show me how to live as a free person in your care. Amen".

yeahh difinatly satan telling people why they have to pray and be humble !!
thanks theja for being such an image of evil .

[Theja]

Yes, Satan knows everything about religion. He is smarter than all of us. So to fool people, Satan has to offer nice religious formula so people will think that's the way to God. And those who are convinced of this religious formula, they will never find out the truth. Imagine going through religious motion and thinking you're doing OK. So far, such a person is still in the bag of Satan. DECEPTION IS THE SPECIALTY OF SATAN.

Oh yes, God will be happy for us if we get away from all these religous restrictions and think and talk like rational humans that He created us for. Then God will say, "Now you can think better and understand better".

He will say, "You are more than religious rules. These manmade rules have kept you in fear, superstition, bondage, blindness, and inability to think clearly".

God is not interested in religious rituals and rules and dos and don'ts. Get away from them and DON'T FEEL GUILTY -- don't allow satan to use religious people to pressure you or make you feel guilty. You have done nothing wrong!!! You will experience the joy of living in freedom. After that, learn to thank God for the freedom you have and ask Him to guide you in life. Inshaallah.

So does your god think that respecting other religions is a happy thing to do too?

[Theja]

Mchica, respect and disrespect is not the point here.

The emphasis here is to discover the trappings of Satan and getting out of it.

May God help you to fly away from the cage Satan has put you in. A door is opened to you now: fly away.

Pray the prayer of David: "Bring me out of prison, so that I may give thanks to your name" (Psalm 142:7).
