Should belief be more emotional than intellectual?

I think spirituality can save your soul. Religion can destroy it. I think belief should be both emotional and intellectual. Religion is based on someone else's interpretation of texts we're not allowed to see or analyze ourselves, so it is all based on a blind belief tthat such an ancient person had no outside agendas in translating the texts to suit their own views or whims. I don't have that much faith in people I'll never get to meet. I think a person has to make their own judgment on what is right and wrong and truly believe in it and live by it, casting out as many double standards and senseless rules as possible. My opinion.

I understand from i read, i live and i feel, that men has body and soul. There are an emotion of the body, of skin(instinct)....., an emotion from hart(spiritual) and the intellect ( ration).
The spirituality come from the soul, it can be good or bed....
The home of the soul is the hart.
In the soul there are a part of The Saint Spirit( from the Creation of men Adam...), that part is God in our hart, ( in Bible is write..' My laws there are write in men hart)..."and when we work with love, means we listen to God, His Spirit works in our hart, we are lived by God...even we don't recognize God....Think with the hart...
The soul can be dived by bed spirit too, when we hear the voice of God , but we say no, i don't want to be good now, because... and we begin to judge..... with the ration....and so we receive many sins.
Yes, if that mean to live so that we don't want cause suffering to other men, ...so is more emotional, we must Wait to grow up other men too to see the true of God..

Nah.
Not least of all because I have no soul; I don't subscribe to that particular belief system.
Though as a matter of principle, a belief of any kind should be bolstered by emotion but guided by intellect; the heart should tell you that your chosen god is real and worthwhile, and your head should tell you how best to serve said divinity.

There are all kinds of spirituality, and many spiritual things can result in the destruction of your soul.
Belief is an individual thing and the strength of the emotional and intellectual components must be determined by the character of the individual and the belief in question.

Dr. Phil's version of 'spirituality' definitely has the power to destroy your soul.

Spirituality can and should destroy our souls. Our aim is to reunite with the One. To do that we have to give up our souls.

belief should be foundational. Your emotions and your actions should stem from that belief.
