People are strange...I know one couple , they are in their 50's and they claim to follow and live their religion daily.At the same time they lost touch with their estranged son cause they can't forgive him how he disappointed them in many ways living his own ( not very productive) life.
I think WE people are actually not CAPABLE to follow our religions ( or faith) at all.There are many good instruction how to live our lives and be in peace I assume in every religion ( amongst stupidities that PEOPLE invented to control others).But we are simply not capable...Even when we stand assure that we did not make terrible things in life (read sins) we are so wrong cause we certainly made quite a few mistakes that made miserable other people or us going through this experience.We are made so imperfect...probably with purpose to learn...but do we learn? I am not so sure...
Blindly following institutions of religion is definitely not what I mean by learning...
