How do you draw the line between religion and superstition?
Often there are followers in a religion (eg. one sect) who see some kind of miracle or magic, then other followers within the same religion (another sect) say it’s just superstition and not religious. They might all use the exact same book to say why they’re right.
How and where do you draw the line?
I don’t draw the line. The line is drawn by each person. There is no universal truth that we can access. Everyone has their own ideas and models that they believe work for them in their life.

I drew the line after reading God created the heavens and the earth. That was enough for me.

Religion and superstition run the exact same, parallel line. They are interchangeable. The line of how far should people be allowed to go should’ve been drawn a long time ago, but alas here we are, 21st century, and some countries are living in the dark ages. Just embarrassing if you ask me.

Superstition is an imagination.Religion is enquiring into the nature of self and it is an art of abiding in the self.

Just for you to know the truth
There have to be a purpose for life otherwise we will miss the path so we want to be just better everyday
so
Spiritually,
What is God? ,
What’s makes God as god? ,
What is God’s Power? ,
For all sort of these questions, I have very limited understanding so Let me give you the point. Well, just try to know, what’s makes God as god, the Power, isn’t it? So what the power can do? Ah? Well, It can give the ability to organise all things and It can give the ability to separate everything and most importantly, the ability to control everything. Isn’t it? Isn’t it Good? Ah? So, what I try to say here is, from my hard study and effort with the help from god, I realized that the ability to control everything, the Power of God is gradually increased in the full amount to use so, The Power of God is always the omnipotent and existed among everything so the God now is always the same omnipotent, who is organised us So how could that be possible to be perfect in perfection always, Ah…? And The Power of God, the ability is the reward for us to control everything in a proper manner, like the true God of goodness.
So ~ LOVE IS THE ABILITY ~
We have to lift it up little by little towards Perfection. So
If you are humble, please… Pray to know the truth from true God by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit with great faith and do what is right for you and sometimes, things can be right in your point of view but wrong in Public point of view so
Basically, just pray about it for the Good Answer and try to do the God’s will first always
And
I have true testimony of true God
Please, just try to understand the fundamental…
If you think, why so much trouble and pain in this world…? Then there is only one reason, without pain, No pleasure and without pleasure, no pain. So without them, we cannot enjoy this life so always we need them in our development towards the perfection of God. So-so, you use pain and pleasure instead of pain and pleasure use you. And
It is Wonderful… wonderful nature for us by the true… God. And
we all make mistakes so it is hard to look for star in daylight. So just in faith… it is possible. Like that the faith in true God. And If you think, even expert can be wrong then you have to make the fine research in all most everything so It is hard and some time, it is impossible to achieve so Why we need inappropriate action to find the owner of higher power? SO,
So, just try to understand, because of Lack of faith in true God, we do not have the great gift of understanding of things so just
understand this please.
We cannot get anything from nothing so changing something into this perfect state, we need something or someone so all things are spiritually first, to govern everything by God. So, closely, Have a look at this world of wonders of yours and then you know the truth, when you listen to your real voice and then Having a strong desire to do the best every day then stick with the best to do your best. And most importantly, try to be grateful for what you have now and try to know where you come from to have the great gift of understanding and then, have the faith to become the best winner in your life. And this is the best meaning of happy life.
And
The Low of mercy cannot rob the Low of justice so God provided the way to our salvation to overcome our sin so Jesus Christ sacrifice is much needed to return to live with God, because God is perfect in perfection so Jesus Christ is our savior to pay our punishment of our sin so-so Because of the perfect love of god for you. So God gave Jesus Christ for us ~ FOR US ~
Well,
It is the time to make the great decision.
Good luck.
