What does your religion teach you?

My religion teaches me good things. What about yours? Do you practice what you preach?

1. To love your neighbour as you love yourself.
2. To forgive others as God has forgiven you.
3. Not to kill anyone.
4. Not to be jealous of others.
5. Not to want things that belong to others.
6. To be tolerant of others irrespective of race and religion.
7. To help others in need irrespective of race and religion.
8. Not to be a racist.
9. To be kind to others. 10. To have compassion for others.
11. To have respect for others.
12. Not to judge others or you will be judged yourself come judgement day.
13. To be honest.
14. To have faith in ourselves to resist temptations and do the right thing.
No force or policing required.
15. Not to be selfish.
16. To put God first, others in between and yourself last.

It is by our actions and deeds that people will judge whether our God is a good God or whether our religion is good or bad. We can tell the world how good our God is but our actions will speak louder than words.
