Hmmm...I don't know Miss Blue but regardless of whichever religion one practices..there has to be order and guidelines. Which is why God sent down all those prophets/messengers. To lead the flock and to teach them the proper/correct way to worship Him. Just like in a society, rules govern or else there could be chaos; so same goes for religion. There has to be a leader who teaches the rest what God (maybe via his Angels) taught him regarding the prayers, charity etc etc. That is do as was taught to the prophets and handed down to the flock, that pleases God.

It has come to me that there is a mystery that underlies all things. I stand in awe and wonder at the splendor of all that is and the mystery that holds and sustains me and I say in the words of the Hebrew prophets: "Dyanu!" It is certainly enough.

Hi, Dani..I am glad you stopped by..No one here will press their beliefs on you we all sit in the circle in the spirit of love and acceptance..there are many different brothers and sisters here with almost as many different world views.. We learn from each other, and acknowledge that each has his own path to follow.You are most welcome here
