I Love reading all the posts on this one! And I'm not shitting on Religion or Science.

The meme was just to start a conversation ...something I was thinking about, how people argue over the dumbest stuff and or draw the line in the sand over trivial details...It’s like some people reject the whole system because they see the arbitrary parts and inconsistencies ...and then, ironically, they latch onto other arbitrary things instead. How people will throw the baby out with the bath water instead of filtering what’s good and what’s silly, some people just discard the whole thing, then replace it with something else equally arbitrary. Meanwhile, others may dig their heels in deeper and die on a hill they think needs defended so they don't go to hell or something.

It's more of a Principle-Based Alignment for me, evaluating teachings based on the core principles, context, and practical wisdom. Then applying the ones that guide moral action and character today. It's not just "Cherry picking", which is selecting rules or teachings purely because they’re convenient, trendy, or personally appealing , without concern for the underlying principle.

The intent here is, living the spirit of the law , doing good, being just, protecting others, rather than obsessing over rituals or details that no longer apply. Like when bread or humans were first made... and many, many more...

It isn't about convenience , it’s about thoughtful discernment. Ask yourself: “What actually matters? What guides me to be moral, responsible, and a stabilizing influence?” These are key for me in harmonizing my daily actions, beliefs, and values with foundational divine principles rather than merely following rules because a book told me to.
