What is your religion and what are some of the laws/rules?

Answer 1

Islam.
Some of our rules are that 1)Muslims fast for one month from sunrise to sunset during Ramadan. 2)Give 2.5% of our yearly wealth to the poor during Eid Al Fitr and Eid Al Adha(the two Muslim holidays). 3)Prayer 5 times toward Mecca a day. 4)Belief in only one God(ALLAH(Subhanna wa ta'ala) and that Muhammad(PBUH*) is the last and final Prophet). 5)Going on Hajj once in our lifetime for each adult male and female Muslim.
Our dietary guidelines are called hala. It's like the Jewish Kosher. We both can't eat pig or anything cooked in pig fat, or drink alcohol or anything slaughtered in the name of any man, animal or any false God.
6)Male infants have to be circumcised at birth for both Muslims and Jews.
7)Pre marital sex and extra marital sex are both forbidden in Islam. 8)Dating is forbidden in Islam because it might lead to sex before marriage and kids born out of wedlock.
9)Muslims have to teach their children about Islam and follow the strong Hadiths(sayings of Muhammad peace be upon him) and the Qur'an(muslim holy book).
10)Muslim women can only marry Muslim men. Muslim men can marry Muslim women, and chaste Jewish and chaste Christian women. Chaste is defined as anyone who is a virgin on the wedding night.
11)Music is forbidden in Islam.
12)Dancing is forbidden in Islam.
13)Divorce is allowed but highly frowned upon, discouraged and is only used as a last resort when the man and wife can't get along and reconcile.
14)Abortion is forbidden in all cases except if the mother's life is in danger.
15)Parents when they get old are to be taken care of by their adult children until they die.
16)Dead people are to be washed before the burial and put in the ground immediately.
17)Muslim men are required to go to Jummah(friday prayer) in the Mosque(muslim place of worship) every friday if they are able to do so.
18)Muslim women may only marry Muslim men.
19)Muslim women can not travel abroad or go outside by themselves unless they are with a mahram(male family member).
20)Muslim women are to cover everything on their body(Hair, body, face and hands) just as the wives of Muhammad(PBUH*). They are allowed to keep their eyes or one eye uncovered to see the way. Muslim women are to encourage their daughters to wear the hjiab and Abaya as well.
21)Men and women are not allowed to interact with each other or mingle with each other unless they are married or related by blood.
22)Muslim men get custody of all children in the event of a divorce because it is the man who is responsible for taking care of the family and providing for them. Plus if the woman were to get custody then her new husband might rape the girls or abuse or neglect the children.
23)All Muslims are required to teach other people about Islam.

Answer 3

First of all, let it be known that I am a Thelemite. Second, my only religious Law is "Do what thou Wilt." It is a very strict law, and as I am not the best Thelemite on the planet, I seem to draw the line at discovery. That single act takes far too much work than I seem capable of. Do not get me wrong, I try, but I always seem to fail at it. I guess it comes down to how little structure I have in my life. I always seem to have difficulty building something up, maybe giving up after three weeks; or deciding I would rather be comfortable than a Sun. I disagree with your "Shouldn't you." Religions aren't about adherence [Though many would think so," but rather creating a force that inspires and drives you to be what you would/should be. Nothing happens over night, even if you wish it would.

Answer 4

Asatru Heathen

Answer 5

I'm an atheist so I have no religion, I try to maximise my own pleasure and obtain my arbitrary and temporal goals without causing hurt or disadvantage to others in a sustainable way (i.e. that leaves the planet habitable for the next generation).

Answer 6

No religion, just atheism (lack of belief in deities)

My only rule: Thou shalt discard this view when better evidence comes along.

Answer 7

I follow Christ, and the only Law I follow is the Law of Grace.

Answer 8

I am a pagan. My law is the Al Jilwah. Only about ten pages.

I don't have a religion, so there are no rules.

Answer 10

religion: Asatru
laws/rules: There's no set rules, but generally if you're a good, honorable person you're set.

Answer 11

Christian. Live by the standards GOD gave us! They may be high standards, but, it is these standards that people will take notice. We are to be a beacon to the world, not conform to it.

GOD bless
