Sparing another pain is not a problem. Abandoning myself to do so is.

Suffering is the ego bitching about the way things are.

Your religion is whatever you don't question.

If you don't question the Bible, that's your religion. If you don't question your understanding of the Bible, that's your religion.

If you don't question the Qu'ran, or your understanding of it, that's your religion.

If you don't question science or rationalism or skepticism, that's your religion.

If you don't question your senses or your thoughts or your feelings, that's your religion.

Religion is whatever you put your faith in and accept blindly, without question.
