Religion is not that hard, people.

Attend whatever service you feel is right, take the lessons to learn how to better yourself, and then use those lessons to better yourself. That's it.

Reddit user, Dreammare56, wanted to know when someone's values crossed the line when they asked:

"Whats the stupidest thing you ever seen a religious person call "satanic"?"
