Today’s thought: If one practices love of God and neighbor to the best of their abilities, if they walk the walk, perhaps that is a religion in itself? (Does one need to claim a specific faith? Does that transcend it?)

@patrickrhone I think such a practice sets aside the need for such a claim. Sort of like, “Love ‘em all, let God sort ‘em out.”

@patrickrhone Though if one’s religion inspires such a practice, why not say so?

@patrickrhone I think about this frequently. Jews have somethjng called kiddush hashem, which has to do with how we behave in the world as Jews. So the practice comes first but we identify as Jews in the course of it.

@zbarocas Love all of your responses but this may go on a t-shirt:

> “Love ‘em all, let God sort ‘em out.”

This is as religion I’d join.
