thats why it’s ‘faith’ and not “I saw God the other day and this is what he told me to do”
The way I see it happening is Christian faith has a set of tenets - rules to live by.
If one is raised in this belief system that there IS a higher power, that God the Father watching over His creation... so you'd better be good (i.e., choose the path of goodness) there are certain expectations - the 10 Commandments - the tenets one adheres to. The Bible is purported to be 'the word' of God. But it's open to generational interpretations. Still, there are words of wisdom with in its covers.
Because you were raised in this system you respect it.
There are no 'voices in your head' other than your own conscience telling you what is right, or wrong. (The two devils sitting on your shoulders...?)
Having a guilty conscience is that 'voice in your head' telling you you've strayed from the straight and narrow.
Same if you're a criminal. That 'voice' in your head telling you to steal, because you deserve it, or reparations are owed?
"Praying to God" is meditative introspection to get in touch with the aether, the life-force that is creation, to show respect for the divine energy that flows through life. Sometimes it 'communicates' via 'voices' (your conscience) speaking to you in a moment of solitude.
We can drill down genetically into DNA and see all the moving parts of humanity. We can even assemble all the pieces parts and create 'Dolly' the sheep, but we can not 'create' life. That 'spark' of energy that makes a human being with a soul. Not that we aren't attempting that. Who knows, science might have already done it?
Man's hubris thinks it can, but is it another 'faith' to believe in?
Yuval Noah Harari seems to think we really don't need humanity in its current form and he wants to genetically 'hack' into the DNA and recreate it, by playing God if you will? Maybe he is correct, but I won't be around to see it happen. This 'belief' is what drives the 'new and improved' mRNA jab we've all been subjected to which is another developing tangent I won't go into here. He happens to be Jewish btw.
You could also believe as a Muslim 'believes' that all infidels must convert, or be beheaded because the 'voices in your head' told you so?
I've not read the Torah, but from what I have gleaned from posts online about what it says of the Goyim, it's a slave owners manual for world domination hiding in the shadows? I don't get the sense that all Jews are in that mindset, perhaps there are different levels/books with different interpretations just as there are Jews and there are Zionists?
I've read that for Christians for living a good life on Earth their 'reward' is in Heaven. For Jews, their 'reward' is in the 'here and now'.
Perhaps that is the difference between them? In any case, listen to the voices in your head. You might learn something?
YMMV
