Answer 2

I'm kinda straying away from my mother. I've began going to church every Sunday and most Wednesdays. I've began to read more often and become more involved with my faith. My mother is a believer, but she hardly ever goes to church, or read the bible. She deff. believes the right things and may even know more about certain things as i but i would have to say me. The more i think about it, i think i'm starting to be more devoted than most all of my family

now this can be applied to more than just christianity,

In church the other week, The pastor talked about these three chairs. One was a hard, not all too comfortable chiar. The second was a lazyboy chair, and the third was a beach chair. The beach chair represented a person who dosn't go to church, who don't care about faith, someone who only cares about the present. as you know, beach chairs are nice, but you can fall over or have it collaps very easily.

The second chair, the lazyboy, represented a person who know's the word, knows what's right, hase knoledge, but only attends church on special occasions. They have faith, but are too comfortable where they are. They'd raither spend the "weekend with the family" They have faith but not devotion which is a very dangerious thing.

the first chair, the hard, not so comfortable one, represented a true believer. Someone who goes to church every sunday, someone who knows the truth. A person who really follows the way of christ. Now the chair isn't comfortable to sit in. you actually have to give up comfort for the assurence that the chair will last. It will almost never break.

Now he explained it SOOO much better than i just did, but when i read that question, that came to my head. I'm getting up out of the lazyboy chair and stepping into the hard, not so comfortable chair, while my mother is happy in the lazyboy chair.

Answer 3

Generally, as Muslims, we compete in the doing of good deeds.

If we are devout and good Muslims today, it is because of the strong foundation our parents have laid for us.

Personally, I started reading about Islam from an early age and began to really practice it with understanding when I reached 20. My family, friends, college mates and community followed suit Alhamdulillah (after initially making life hard)

Peace sister.

Answer 4

I would guess and say that I am. Although we are both born again Christians, I think that as each generation comes and goes. The younger generation will always have the advantage to be smarter(in not just religion, but anything)than the generation before it. For example, if I learn all I can in my lifetime and I teach what I know to my children. It will not take my children near as long to learn what I did because I can teach them rather than there be years of studing on their part. Then the knowledge they get from me coupled with the knowledge they learn on their own, they can teach their children. And so on and so forth. I think each generation is generally smarter that the preceeding generation. May God Bless

Answer 5

Parents.

Answer 6

I think that both me and my parents were both equally devout (they both have died).
They were of a denomination other than what I have chose, but they were very passionate about their belief, and I am the same way about mine.

Answer 7

By the divine law of spiritual progress, the following generations must be more knowledgeable and more devoted than their ancestors. This is naturally how we have an ever-advancing civilization in the world.
Otherwise, it is only blind imitation, as we witness in this time of transition. Our parents must be very sad, when they see that we don't catch up with the advance of human destiny.

Answer 8

I am, because both if my parents have problems with telling the truth, and to me, lying is a big no-no. My mom thinks my morality is too rigid, I think that is ridiculous. I am devoted to God, not a religion, just though I would make that perfectly clear.


God Bless You

Answer 9

Well...there is sometimes a BIG difference between what they (parents) practice and what they preach...

I wouldnt be able to call myself devout...nor have the guts to compare this stuff to anyone else..sorry


EDIT: Sometimes I feel that saying something again and again makes one beleive that they are practicing it...but the fact is that we forget t look into ourselves and back check ..are we really doing wat we preach?

Answer 10

We are all devout Atheists.

Answer 11
