How do you measure the success you are having with your religion?
For the non-religious, do you have a comprehensive belief system, and how do you measure the success of that belief system?

I measure success by reaching goals I set for myself. When I set that goal I picture in my mind what I will feel like when I reach it and never think of failing. I do make time limits for those goals but make them attainable. ( i.e. Like a weight I want to reach by Christmas). I also make mini goals that will get me there in between the main goal. I use this technique for all goals regardless of whether they are religious or non-religious. As long as I improve my mind, body and spirit I know the goals are worthwhile that I make and hopefully attain. J. Gatz

I do not, for I am a freethinker.
My system is this: God put us here 10,000 years ago. The world was here long before that. We were put here to figure out how the Earth works. We are now bickering on whether or not the Earth works at all.
My measure? Intelligence and eloquence. These are essential to discovering the key to the human soul, through which everything else can be easily explained, and thus our success assured.
Signed,
A Freethinking Christian

I measure the success of of my belief system by the well being of those around me and my own personal well being and how well all parties involved are treated and respected.

I don't measure success in my belief,the Holy Spirit does,because he will show me the way.He who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit.

i think of, there is not any length for fulfillment, like how many money you have on your financial employer account, or how many autos on your storage, for me, its how chuffed you're and contented with what you have. Its reaching what you somewhat dream of. looking a first rate activity, or ending a bachelor degree, triumphing the female/boy you desire to be with... i think of those achievements, truly potential fulfillment
