Is your SO practicing his religious beliefs?

I consider following the rules as you see them as "practicing". At least that's how I understood the question.

It'd be nice if it was that simple in the real world. Too many "holier-than-thou" types will decide for you if you're "following the rules". In Afghanistan & Pakistan, a woman's "covering" means a burkha. In other countries it's a hijab. In other countries it's left up to the individual, which is the way it should be.

"left up to the individual" and "should be" is an oxymoron.

I don't really agree with this and nothing is 100% left up to the individual.... walk down your street in the buff and see how many people call the police... even in Amreeka modesty is regulated for us

In "Amreeka" this is a matter of secular law, not religious decree or dogma.

I think it's driven by religion in some sort of way.... it is mostly christians who have decided that public nudity is bad.

It may have ulitmately been inspired by religion in some way, but it is a secular law that all basically agree to. For example, murder is forbidden in just about every religion, but the law against it in the US is secular, not religious.

[sarah and hicham 3]

I've been here... I did just recently start a real job so maybe I've been here less, but not really. I guess that shows how much I've been working!

So because a law is based on a religion... a religion that the majority shares.... it's not as good a law?

Whether you want to admit it or not a person's religion drives him in his decisions.... that include our elected lawmakers... how many non christian presidents have we had?
