[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not sure if other religions also use the described practicing, but I know bother Muslims and Christians who refer to themselves as a practicing Muslim or practicing Christian. To me that means that you are actively trying to live out the teachings of your faith vs it being a religion you were born into / raised in / identify with.

I have seen quite a few examples recently of people saying I am a practicing X but then they are not at all living in a way that would indicate they are trying to follow the teachings / texts of their faith. And not hiding that. So I am curious what people understand practicing Muslim / Christian to be and if you use that term, do you openly not follow the teachings of your faith and if so how do you rationalize these two things?

Practicing means ones who try. They don't claim to be perfect but like to practice and hope to do better. [/quote]

NO, she was saying that she was a REAL muslim who does all the religious stuff a Muslim is supposed to do - plus she bed hops[/quote]

I don't live an unchaste life but I DO have interest bearing accounts and in the harm that participating in an interest based economy does to others, I am probably inflicting more harm than her. in islam people have 2 main responsibilities- the rights of God and of man and we need only concern ourselves with the rights of man, God is the ultimate Master of our fates so we don't have the wisdom, or right to judge anyone.
