I approve your opinion very much!"Use warm of new lead the good life to help the poor person?"Only owning the "devout"and"benignity"heart just can lead up the dependable day.Would do good the other perple's benevolence.I say thus of to ?HEHE

I think you got it right.Being pious is not in going to the house of God.If we are good at heart,helpful and kind its good enough.There are those who put up a front that they are very holy but they do all the mean and wicked things.I always believe that come what may there is a power above us.They say love works in varied and invisible ways.God may not materialise before us in all his glory in times of crisis or despair but rest assured he will send his angels to care for us.When you reach out and help someone you get in touch with the angel in you.Everyday God sends his angels in different disguises help us.If we have faith and if we are good at heart things will somehow work out for us.Good luck.

Thats a great response B.May I call you Boo? Much precious time is wasted on God and Godliness ,religion and debates while there lies so many of our basic duties and responsibilities unattended.Wont a hungry orphan's thankful smile take us near the God for a moment?We are not still cavemen to be afraid of God.We must know to fulfill His wishes if we respect Him instead of talking about Him which is the most easiest thing.

To me going to church is like visiting God ,but leading a good life is also very important and they both go together. God is everywhere and is nice to meet others who share your values.

And again you placed you smart discussion, not only quality discussion. You know why, Balasri?. Because you used the words "be pious" which mean be devoutly religious or making a hypocritical display of virtue or (of a hope) sincere but unlikely to be fulfilled. I am sorry if my own definitions may not precise to your thoughts, please project your corrections, if any. Actually 'pious' is a duplicate function of element in the people's heart and mind. The noble value in the house of God has been in ruins by the devotee's internal malpractice. Helping the needy should only have one interest on it, to foster humankind inter-relationship. Not necessarily come from the house of God, but from the bottom of one's heart. Our heart is the prime house of God. Thanks my friend, Balasri. You always come out with good point of discussion. Always The Best.
