Sorry buddy, all humans would constantly be changing religions then. No flesh can obey all laws in a perfect manner consistently as we are born in sin and it does affect everyone, irrespective of chosen religion. You fail to understand the concept of imperfection, redemption and continuity of culture, therefore your sad suggestion to abandon your religion/faith when you fall.
Get over it, no one's perfect except the Lord's Grace.
Choose wisely.
if it's truly taken as the word of God

WE ladies are not an object you can make decisions for about our manner of attire, thank you very much. Arguing over which position to choose on the subject of female dress, denotes that you think you have the right to make such a decision. Let me spell it out for you: DRESS YOURSELF PAL.

OP I'm sorry but you might wish to work on yourself before you decry the inequities you percieve in others. Such as your tendency as illustrated here to blame groups for the actions of individuals amongst other things. Respectfully, your rant reads like a subjective self rightous attack on anyone you disagree with and shoe horning any impression you can to support a basic "They suck." analysis you refuse to change.

Okay folks, lissen up and the man without a God will school you in some basic knowledge concerning "Religion". The bulk of the philosophies we call religions were created in order to support political heirarchies at the very dawn of human civilization. Please understand, for the vast majority of mankind's tenure on this planet we existed in small bands of hunter-gather groups. These tribes tended to be loosley organized and its citizens had a maximum of free will concerning their day-to-day participation in the business of the tribe was concerned. The "religious" beliefs of these people have been lumped inot a general description called "Animism". THese people believed that there existed an unseen spirit world that manifested itself in everything around us and in us. Many of the groups believed in a "Great Spirit" but there was no political heirarchy in their spirituality, no ruling spirit that could tell the other spirits what to do. Any dicissiions that the spirit world made were fashioned in council, juswt like the eecisions that the tribes made.

If you think about it, religon is probably the number one killer of mankind in the entire history of the world. Believe in what you want, but personally I will never worship any god. I will believe in myself and be the best person I can. I will be good and kind to all living things not because some god told me to, but because I know in my heart its the right thing. I will never kill in the name of any god. I will never look down upon someone else for believing something else, because I am open minded. However, I do feel sorry for people who give themselves away to an idea that has murderd so many in its name. It really is ludacris if you stop and think about it. Why have faith in something you have never seen. Instead I would say have faith in yourself. Worshiping a god ireplaces free will with idealism. Everyone knows whats right and wrong. Why do we need a god to tell us that.
...disinterest in exercising any understanding for anything outside of your narrow view.You don't want a better world, you want the impossible dream of you being right and everyone to become like you. Which creates strife as unbendable fools attempt to force the world by force.
