Submission to the Will of God is a spiritual precept found in all the major religions. I don't see how anyone who claims to be a Christian can answer "No!" when asked if Christianity requires him to submit to God's Will:

Since you seem to suffer from ignorance of your own religion, I recommend reading William James' Varieties of Religious Experience. Christianity and Islam are both Semetic-tradition religions. It's creed is logically simliar, altho the characters are different, One is to submit to God thru the Savior and lives one's life in submission to His Will by following the Bible. Same mumbo-jumbo, different cast of characters. |
Kirk, Kirk , Kirk didn’t you learn anything from the last time I publicly spanked you for fabricating and lying? Come on, it wasn’t that long ago that you falsely accused me of being a “Birther”, I defied you to substantiate that claim and you never did or could. Apparently your life experiences have left you immune from that shame that would humble a person of character. Your failure to substantiate your fraudulent claim combined with your unwillingness to admit your transgression and beg forgiveness only lets everyone know what a “man” you are.

I will make this a simple and succinct for you as possible so as to not exceed either your perception or ability to comprehend.
What higher being does a Taoist submit his or her self to? What higher being does a Theravada Buddhist submit his or her self to? What higher being does a Confucianist submit his or her self to?
As the question originally asked clearly uses the words “all religions” your commentary attempting to dispute the accuracy of my answer to that question “No” i.e. “Submission to the Will of God is a spiritual precept found in all the major religions.” inserts the qualifier “the major” despite that not being the subject of the original question. ; Hence my concern as to your ability to perceive or comprehend the question or the subject. I won’t bother to take issue or argue with your apparent contention of what beliefs constitute”all the major religions”
But I will point out your deliberate, fraudulent, and false implication/contention that I am a Christian ignorant of my own religion

I defy you to substantiate that I am ignorant of my own religion or that I am Christian.
I have in regard to your “Birther” accusations demonstrated that you are liar and without integrity when proven so and this lie you are telling now will without question be disproven, all that remains a question is if you can muster the character to admit your transgression and beg of the community their forgiveness!
I will be eagerly awaiting your response and I sincerely hope that unlike the last public outing and spanking you suffered you can muster something other than “whatever”!
