My own religion
I don't change the scriptures. The only thing i change is my personal understanding of them.

But that is all you have as far as I can tell. That goes for me to. There is no text without an individual interpreter. And thus I try not to favor one text, but learn from them all based on my colored glasses that all humans are humans.

As friendly as I can put it. For the everyday world we all use colored glasses because of our individual religion. But if the idea is that all humans are humans, then I have learned to spot my glasses. Indeed that all humans are humans, is a case of wearing colored glasses.
Not sure what you trying to say here

I can't speak for others so all i say in RF is my own current understanding.

Because they had different connection to God than I do. I am not enlightenment as they were (in my understanding)
I'll wager that your enlightenment regarding metaphysical
truths is up to par with authors of any religious scriptures.
I hereby grant you license to change them by interpretation
or re-writing.
And for $9.99, I'll even send you a certificate of authority.

Religious people believe in the teaching they foklow. They know what is sad to be righteous way of living. If the law of the land say something different, each person has to do and act upon what they see as right for them.
If a gay religious person want to act according to their lust, that is up to them
So anything goes.

Catholics are deciding whether they accept the ban on abortion by the Church. Muslims can vary widely from very passive to extremists. The same with most every theist. So we are not seeing any uniform obedience to a "righteous way of living", we see a lot of disagreement and person preference. So where exactly is the authority from God?
