I feel like my religion is the best and others all suck ..?
I’m from a dumb ethnic civilization in Anzomemiya Nivagmuwa. We worship the holy pineapple god.

Go sit under a tree and stay there until you have the realization that your snide remarks about ethnic civilizations are signs of your bigoted ego.
Also realize that no one gives a rat's hiney what you believe.

Please read the book penned by Shakyh Hamzah Yusuf:
Purification of the Heart
The book can be purchased on amazon.com or from www.alhambraproductions.com
Reveiws:
this work transcends any particular faith or ideology, and the commmentary given by shaykh hamza yusuf speaks to him as a modern day scholar. its truly moving, inspiring, and touches upon an imporatnt subject matter not often spoken about.- By Joel A. Champ (IL United States)
How can you go wrong when a book talks about the problems of miserliness, envy, hatred, treachery, rancor, malice, arrogance, covetousness, lust, and how to overcome them. I recommend this book to Non-Muslims as well as Muslims. Even an Atheist can benefit from it. We humans are weak by nature and if we are not given guidance, we will definitly go astray. There is no such thing as a man or woman without desires and we will not be able to control them unless someone tells us how to.
The book of Allah(GOD) is the only book that can do it. Not the Bible, which does not forbid wrong and immorality like the Quran does. Look at the disobedience of kids in the US to their parents and look how much smut is on the TV. This is a Christian Society and only Islam and can help it. This religion is the final message from God and it is meant to help us understand the purpose of life. Go here if you have any questions about this way of life called Islam [...] - By Magic (Oakland, Ca.)
Book Description:
This exploration of Islamic spirituality delves into the psychological diseases and cures of the heart. Diseases examined include miserliness, envy, hatred, treachery, rancor, malice, ostentation, arrogance, covetousness, lust, and other afflictions that assail people and often control them. The causes and practical cures of these diseases are discussed, offering a penetrating glimpse into how Islam deals with spiritual and psychological problems and demonstrating how all people can benefit from these teachings.
I found this book extremely motivating. It shows how to implement Islam in your life. It consolidates all the conclusive concepts that emanate from Islam. My advice to non muslims is to try and understand the irrefutable basis of Islam, this understanding will shed more light on the concepts discussed in this book. Because whatever emanates from a correct basis(conclusive basis) is correct in itself. Once someone has the understanding that the Creator is a reality and the Quran can only be from the Creator then everything that emanates from it will be correct and truthful. This book sheds some light on how to manifest this truth: The intellectual basis of Islam agrees with the mind and thus fills the heart with tranquillity.- By A. Tzortzis "Thoughts" (London)

Oh, someone actually answered you seriously and tried to tell you that there is no pineapple god?
I suppose some Christians have no sense of sarcasm (or humor).
Well, perhaps that applies to all of us at times.

A pineapple is for food . It is not holy as you claim and not God.

If your religion teaches you to leave everyone else alone and focus on your own life, then you don't need to get rid of your ego.
