I was ruminating the other night on the link between religious observances and practices and reincarnation. What happens when you change religions or more importantly, how do you separate between culture, cultural practices and the truth of religion?
Ive been mulling this over lately and thought i would ask for some help and sleep on it. The answer i got was "its important not to misrepresent yourself through your actions".
I think the most important thing to remember is that God is not a Christian. Jew, Muslim or any other religion. Anything that we may do here on earth is simply for our own comfort or enjoyment. All God really cares about is how we treat other people and how we use each life that we have been given.
We must realize that taking part in religious or cultural practices is not the same thing as taking the opportunity, when we see it, to help others and to spread kindness. We can partake in those things if it brings us comfort or connection to others, but to God, what we do with what we have been given matters most.
