Ok, this is not about rituals or полемикa, it's about how it's connected to the one's belief in God. And I already mentioned how - if you believe in God AND the Holy books you just follow the God's will and that's reflected in your life...
But this is not to say that following rituals is above the moral behavior or our treatment of the fellow human beings...Honesty, morality, integritity - all come first...above all the rituals...
The problems is if you don't follow the religious teaching, then it becomes all relative. What do then measure your "morality" against then?
