Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, I think I agree about practices being the important thing. Earlier I was treating them as these concrete things the have nothing directly to do with beliefs, but now I see that I was handling them wrong.
Practices/observances are the only things which make beliefs come alive; in other words, the belief really is useless unless something is done about it.
Heh, and I had been looking at Ron's "red game" and thinking, "How is this not about beliefs?!" Now I see that the focus is really on what you actually do about your beliefs, regardless of whether or not you have them.
And that was never really something I disagreed with. Sorry for mucking up the discussion with my nonsense.
