jdesson Posted February 19, 2017 There are common threads, like obey and live in harmony with The Way and life will be goodv compared to some sontemporary religions. Contemporary religion will say that to live in harmony with, and obey, God and life also will be good. To do nothing is to act. In some contemporary religions, we are, compared to God, nothing at all and to act this way is true obedience to God. These common threads are what fascinates me.
