We may carp, but they show more adherence to their religion than many Christians. Or is it just show?
It’s not any show, they’re 100% satanically inspired to the end.
The proper question is — what kind of personal ethics does it spawn? Jesus as recorded in the New Testament was not real big on ritual. Of more concern (in America) are various surveys showing that religious Christians’ personal life ethics are not highly different from their nonreligious neighbors. They’ll watch almost the same TV shows, divorce at almost the same rates, cheat on their spouses at almost the same rates.
They pray 5x’s a day...just getting our kids out of bed for church ONCE a week can be a struggle. I’m still trying to figure it out. Perhaps it’s mind control but I really think they are all just INSANE!
All works based religions have enthusiasts. It's always been that way with all different religions. It really is not all that surprising. Christianity is different. It's not based on enthusiasm for the rituals as it is gratitude for God's grace.
According to their works based religion, they have to go.
No pilgrimage, no paradise.
