Half Stepping

I've run into an issue with people these past couple of weeks. I really don't understand them and their beliefs. I can honestly understand when people don't believe what I believe. What I don't get it when people sign up for a religion and then pick and choose from it what they choose to accept. I also don't understand when people don't believe the same way as me and would try to tell me what my religion does or doesn't say. For example I have friends from different religions, my religion says that the best things aren't going to happen to them when they die. Does that mean that I love them any less, or does that mean that I don't wish that they fit into the category that the best things happen to. No but that does not change what I believe. When I go against what my religion says is right I don't haul off and start deleting sins from the list, I just accept the fact that at that moment I was not doing as I believe and make necessary provisions for continuing on the path I chosen. I don't taper my religion to fit what I would like to happen. I didn't make the religion I subscribed to so who am I to go cutting and pasting. At that point I should just make my own and go for it. But I don't, maybe I'm lazy, being a higher power sounds like a lot of work. One day we'll all see what was right or maybe we won't.
