At its foundation, Islam teaches submission to God (Allah) — not as blind obedience, but as alignment with truth, humility, and justice. The Qur’an lays out a way of life centred on compassion, charity, self-restraint, and constant awareness that humans are not the centre of the universe.
At its core, Christianity teaches humility, love, forgiveness, sacrifice, and grace. The message is simple: treat others with compassion, recognise your own flaws, extend mercy where it’s undeserved, and live with a spirit of service rather than superiority.
ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), despite the clunky name, is less about “deficit” and more about the brain’s regulation system failing to balance attention, impulse, and motivation. In simple terms: the system that tells the brain when to focus, how long to focus, and what deserves attention — is faulty.
Pastafarianism began as a parody — a clever protest against dogmatic thinking and the push to teach creationism as science. It holds that a Flying Spaghetti Monster created the universe after a heavy night out, and that pirates are divine beings. It includes sacred pasta rituals, colanders as headwear, and holy days such as “Talk Like a Pirate Day.”
Hinduism isn’t one neat doctrine — it’s a sprawling philosophical ecosystem with many paths, texts, and traditions. At its heart, it teaches that the self (atman) is not separate from the universe (Brahman), and that liberation (moksha) comes from realising this unity.
Judaism is a rich, ancient tradition rooted in covenant, responsibility, and ethical living. At its core, it teaches that humans are partners with the divine in repairing the world — a concept known as tikkun olam.
