If you go back far enough, we're all pagans. Khan, tell me something negative about your current religious position. Can you come up with any criticisms for your own beliefs? Can you build yourself up any further possibly?
Come to think of it, I don't like the punishment for rape. Only 100 lashes.
I don't like the punishment for theft. Cutting of the theif's power & resources and forcing him to work to pay back what was stolen.
Jeez, God is too lenient, me thinks.

Being nice to fellow creatures - that's a good thing, lots of rewards, apparently.
Associating any other as a partner to God, worshiping stone, worshiping sexual organs, worshiping trees, worshiping elements, worshiping stars, etc, now that's a tad bit ret*d IMO.
Peace.
Why?
I mean I would think that tree worshipping would be considered nice in that it symbolizes respect towards its fellow creatures such as the trees or whatever life has to offer.
I couldn't see that much different from religion unless you put the rituals into it.
Actually, in my system of submission, my prayer is just a basic form of yoga. Although I attempt to contact God, the method he has commanded me to perform with benefits only me in the long run, physically and mentally. Hence, silly things like offering flowers & food to idols and plants is ret*d, IMO.
