That is all there is: principle and process, how and what.
All creation unfolds according to Tao. There is no other way."

My beliefs allow me to understand that in enacting life, in all its splendorous choices and outcomes, I am in adherence with my beliefs.

be How much does it dictate your everyday life?
It only does in that I feel the need to pray often enough; but that is my choice; as far as my behaviour and habits go, I try to be what I think is expected of me - not so much to "please" God (although that is a bonus, but equally because that is my personal goal.

Let's see . . . . I do not drink alcohol because I am a Baha`i. I certainly did before that. I piddled around in drugs but stopped when I became Baha`i. I have been absolutely monogamous since I became Baha`i. That issue broke up my first marriage.

So my day to day life has changed. It took me a couple years to manage to drink my last beer. Monogamy came easier.

Regards,
Scott

Religion doesn't dictate me in the slightest. I live myself as I see fit. I treat people as I wish. I am not frightened by eternal damnation or hell.

no, it can't. it is naturally work of heart. noone could be dictated to love. it gives advice and if you do, you follow as a volunteer.

My religion doesn't dictate my choices; it directs them.

Some religions are not strict in the sense of dictating every action of the person, they are more like moral guidelines, whereas some tend to be stricter, therefore percieved as dictatorial.
