Common Among All Major Religious Belief-Systems

What is common among all benevolent mainstream religious belief-systems?: Morality

What is expected among all people? It is that they do right by other people. Any moral system requires that proper behavior is exhibited both by its followers, and by transference also it is expected by outsiders.

Is that so hard?

So then often what is the issue is not what religious system people follow, excepting the dearness of the religion to people's heart, or belief that it is the right religion, but that people fulfill their religious morals, often simply that they live out the morality of the religion that they claim.

A lot of times, it doesn't matter what religion or group the other person is, but that they are treated well by you, and that itself will usually speak more for your religion, as far as it relates to you, to your practice of your religion, than the details of it which people will not always understand, especially or appreciate. Likewise, if you want to feel good about another person or their practice of their religion, denomination, religious affiliation, it matters to you, if you can see how you would feel being on the receiving end, that their interpersonal interaction in morality, their interpersonal morality, includes treating you honorably and morally well. This often speaks loudest for your religion, and many people are persuaded by good behavior towards themselves, and a forgotten trait called 'kindness'.

Apart from and knowing the distinction between 'buttering-up,' this is a religious moral and righteous belief that people share, that the other person or group should be treated well and regarded as valuable. What respected religious or belief system does not have the expectation that treating people well, often even with kindness, is an objective or obligation? In Christianity besides 'loving God' that is the totality of the religion, or at least the law Jesus recommended. And so, with Christianity, and also with others, we are speaking for our religion by having these high moral standards that we also exhibit. Practically. If your religion is to be spread, if you want to convince others of it, and they do not accept specific tenets, such as Jesus rising from the dead, then what is your specific approach, considering that in Christianity the love for God, which may or is supposed to be or turns out being largely a private affair, that then the only Christianity they see other than your tenets, specific, perhaps to a denomination, or general, is your love or good behavior with regard to them, which they certainly see!

What is your tack as a Christian, Muslim, Jew, esoteric ... that they go to your building, reciting your tenets, practicing your rituals ... regardless of your or their behavior on this universal moral quotient that everyone apparently knows is right and that these religions as well as others ostensibly or in actuality put such a high rank on that its practitioners put such importance on supposedly, while they may lack displaying this behavior in some ways, or to its full extent?

You must ask What am I converting this person to or what do I hold to so strongly that I am emphatic about it?

In saying this I have not betrayed my own religion, but that my practice must line up with my confession. If as a Christian I believe that God loves me and that love is the highest and greatest commandment, both to God and to people, Why then would I focus so much on everything else, to the exclusion or sublimation of the crown of what I say I most stand for? For us who believe either religiously or otherwise that this is important to our code, why would everything else take precedent, or this practice even a back seat? In this way our stated religion or ethics inform us of what we already believe and should be practicing.

Regardless of the point we are trying to get across, religious or otherwise, if we acknowledge and have the expectation that the right way people deal with us is of utmost importance, if we believe people should be treated well, and we expect they should be treated as we would want to be, because we want the same in return, then violating this point makes you wrong already! Regardless of the issue, you have violated them, their value, especially if you are connected to part of such a religion!

Would you Christians say that Jesus loved you and them so much that he died for all, tell opponents of any sort to your religion, that they must love as you are to, and then rail them with abuse and insults for not accepting your religion, or do you display a lack of interpersonal morality? If you desire to bring people to your way, then as regards to them, both to their face and generally, treat them with personal integrity that you also accept as a basic requirement.
