Do you agree with every aspect of your religion?

Few people know every single life lesson and rule that their religion teaches because there are just so many of them, especially in the Bible or any old holy book. There's all sorts of weird stories from hundreds of years ago and nobody was there was they happened, and a lot of people say they are outdated.
So, a lot of people do not follow a lot of the rules that were made back then but they follow some of them. Who decides whether a rule should be outdated or not? Gut feeling? Or is it that if you can't do some of the things by law, you just don't nowadays? Like sacrificing your virgin daughters or stoning children to death? Do you think women are inferior to men? A lot of religions have that in their roots.
Are you really practicing every part of your religion? I don't really have one so I'm just really doing what I find works when it comes to treating other people with no judgment and trying to keep peace. I don't really know if all people completely follow what their religion teaches, or they just kind of half follow it.

I'm a woman so I absolutely don't believe that women are inferior to men. As a Roman Catholic, I think that we've come a long way in that regard but women still aren't able to become priests. I don't agree with everything that my religion teaches. Roman Catholics aren't supposed to use birth control. Abortion, regardless of reason, is prohibited. In the Catholic religion, the Pope decides all matters of church law and our religion teaches us that when the Pope is speaking in matters of church law, he is infallible. I so agree that it is much more important to treat people with decency and respect and not to judge them is what God really wants us to do.
