Morally Religious

Do you believe in your religion because you know it’s what is right, or is it just because you were born and raised to believe it?

Whatever childhood you were born into and raised from was by chance in my opinion. If you believe it’s fate or specifically predetermined, then why would some people be born into such horrible situations as some are? But assuming it’s chance, there is a significant chance that you would have been born and raised to believe a different, and therefore contradicting religion. Therefore it would be blind luck that you now believe and live in the way that your religion portrays is the specific way that you believe is correct. How is that fair for the significant and majorative percentage of people born outside of your religion, without the privileges of the opportunity of being informed of the specifications of your religion? In that case, the eternal judgement of your very existence is based on blind chance.

It’s my belief that rather, the case is that all those specifications of regulations in life -attempted to have been translated and interpreted multiple times over from ancient text- are only a specific example or sample of a beneficial lifestyle, relayed to a group of people in a specific culture and time, in their situation, under those circumstances. All of the examples of portrayed decent methods and rules of living are a sample of what should be derived from the more general basic principles, under those circumstances. The more general principals could be adaptable to any situation, but the specific application of regulations would vary depending on specific variables and any situation. These general principles are what I would consider morals.

It would be generically opportunistically equal, if these principles were the simple, naturally and instinctively known or understood methods of living (and loving -as I happened to have initially mistakenly typed) to follow in order to be what we would consider a good individual. AKA Morals. A basic summarization of the application of morals, I think would be to, consider others as you would consider yourself.

By applying these standards to any possible outcome of situational upbringing of any individual capable of understanding basic morals, all potential circumstances would have equal opportunity. So, in lamens terms (or applying the term on itself (since I seem to have ironically spelt it wrong), in a more simple basic description), the main rules in life that are necessary to follow, are basic morals.
