But you only have to be obedient to the gentle love kind part.

The thing is that once people become sure that they are on the right path, they often do evil.
The path to hell is paved with good intentions.

I always 'doubt' my own decisions, because doubt means that I want to do the right thing, so I always reflect on my decisions to learn from them.
I only believe to be on the right path, but never actually know to be on the right path.
I guess this is the main difference between myself, the Jews, Christians and Muslim. By blindly following their scripture they know they are on the right path, while I know that following scripture is no assurance.
