Questioning the principles
It's the most easiest of the principles. Yet, the underlying philosophy is really tough to understand.
Vertical principle - God is above you. Love Thy God.
Horizontal principle - Love Thy fellow human beings.
The principles are okay had it been consistent throughout. But, in the end, on Judgement Day, God says - "Hey..you did not give me shelter when I asked you. You did not feed me when I begged you." The human being asks - "God, I never saw you nor did you ask me for food or shelter."
God replies - "That day your neighbour asked u food... I was the neighbour."
Doesn't this contradict the initial principles? My view is that there cannot be two principles if the above conversation holds good.
God is your fellow human being.

whether there are two or nineteen principles, the "concept" God or for that matter religion, helps one to keep away from evils - disputable but undeniably to some extent.
there's always a feeling that someone is above watching you, assessing your activities. (as if he/she's got no other work.
moreover, when u cannot confide in any living soul, u can always lean on the so called "God". that feeling helps u to recover from ur depressions and work ahead.
nevertheless, logic tells u something else. u r right but for the masses and the hapless, God is right.
nothing could be more selfish but equally practical - use God whenever u want.
when u cannot trust anybody else, say kadavule kaapathu...
who's going to know when to pray mentally and oppose God verbally?
