What I have learned is that "the people of old and the so called prophets...they declared their belief in a God...in a concept of right and wrong. They prayed and then they rose up from their knees and began to kick @ss as proof of their belief and what they prayed for. In essence, they taught me that "FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD". So we claim to have all this faith and all this belief without any action that proves what we believe in to have any value at all.
