Word.
The thing between me and Religion is that we don't match alot. See, you got people out there are welling to defend their religions all night long, but If you look inside them you'll figure out that they're probably applying 20 to 35% of their religion.
I respect all religions of course, I repsect what everyone believes in. But IMO when you really want to apply something, either do it as It should, or just live on your own. Do the normal things that God will be probably be more than thankful to you.
Simple things I do in my life...(and no I'm not being modest)...
-Take care of my parents, sisters...Friends, relatives
-Help poor/needed people.
-I've donated lot of cash in my life to hospitals, kids with deseases, not that much cash but still, I managed to help.
-I believe in myself and I'm honest with everyone.
-I don't lie, steal, hurt anyone on purpose.

On the other hand, from my experience and being Muslim, I've witnessed and met lot of Fanatics that are really into their Religions whether Muslims or Christians etc, who really could lie to you and steal you, but from the outside they'll just try to convice you how attached to their god they're.
The point here is that, I can have a good relationship with my god without following things I can't do, or I'm not to.
Hopefully, no one will get me wrong.
