Responsibility of Religious Leaders
quote:
Westerners' devotion to their whims and invented notions of freedom lead them to disobedience, which renders their personal religion almost like a hobby, subservient to frequently changing whims.
Christianity lost its teeth when it proclaimed that Christians are not under the Law. It is hard to shape spiritual behavior without rules or guidelines. Christianity seems more concerned with recruiting and adding to the flock as opposed to teaching people how to live a spiritual life as a way of life. It's a business.
Since you are in Texas and not an Islamic State, do you have difficulty maintaining your Islamic way of life since the government does not enforce it for you?
quote:
I believe Iraq democracy will initially start western but move to an Islamic state.
I have a feeling they will also. Their country, their choice.
