No, it's fundamental to character. It's not exclusive to religion. That's just part of the myth.
- s1artibartfast 2y agoBeing fundamental to character, love of God, and love of your neighbor are not mutually exclusive claims. Someone could come up with a definition for each that excludes this need, but that is true of character and any subjective definition.

The quote is "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.”

Mixed fibers, prohibitions against eating pork, tattoos, fully submissive women, uncovered heads, slavery, divorce, etc Some people actually do attempt to follow some of these things, but there's even contradictory information in the same book!
