S0ngs 0f my life...

Disclaimers; this post is not meant to offend any religion or whatsoever.

A question once asked in a GP paper "Religion, does it still apply to people's life?"

I'm a christian personally and I do read the bible and true enough, many of the biblical principles are applicable like;

1. Honour your father and mother

2. You shall not murder

3. You shall not commit adultery

4. You shall not steal

5. You shall not give false testimony against your neighbour

6. You shall not covet (greed for others possession)

Very much applicable to your life aren't it? Other religion, teachings or even your own simple principles will tell you that all these are true, so doesn't religion applys to every individual lifes?

However, there're many examples of people who violates against their very own religious principles, for the sake of their religion or otherwise.
First example, those who goes against their very own religious principle for their very own religion.

JI's, a muslim terrorist group that kills others for the sake of their religion when their very own religion forbids taking lifes, yet, they may consider it as an heroic action.

Second example, those who goes against their very own religious principle for their own sake.

Church pastors and christian members engaging in homosexual activity, adultry, pre-marital sex and even incest which are all clearly scorned by God.

Does religion really applies in people lifes then?

The answer is indefinite.

But one thing I can leave with;

Practise what you preach and live life standing on wha you believe on.
