What are some of the values of the religion you live by? If you don't think you are religious then what value system (if any) do you live by and why is this important to you. In what ways are you challenged? Have you always lived by the values you live now and if not why did you change? Why do you feel like you live by the values that you do and do you feel like it makes the world a better or worse place or do you feel like it does not matter or influence the world in any way? If you have broken the values you live by how did this make you feel and why did you do it?

You mean "values" as in "laws"? Good people don't need laws ;)

No, I mean values. I may have worded it wrong. I don't think much good can come from laws other than the fact that you can't keep them. I think the two can become confusing though. A value would be prayer, but a law would be I am going to pray every day. What I mean by breaking one is let's say you value being honest and then for whatever reason you are not. How does that make you feel and how does it affect you in your religion if you are a religious person. Another one may be to get an education etc... I am just interested in seeing how others live their life and what kind of impact their religion has on their life. Some values I have is prayer., meditation, writing, going to movies. I have to have my prayer and meditation time. I think my religious beliefs does influence my writing in the world view I have. It does influence what I see when I watch a movie. I don't mean what kind of movie I watch, but how I perceive it when I watch it.
Since I am a Christian there are two laws Christians are suppose to live by and that is to Love God with all of our hearts, mind and soul and love our neighbor as ourself. I feel like I fail daily at those things, but I have grace. I do stiive to know Him (Jesus) daily. And when I say grace I mean that I am accepted by Christ no matter what I do with no strings attached, which makes me what to know Him more.
