All that need be done is to simply study the rules set forth by your Deity of choice, and do your best to follow them. The world over, the rules set forth by any deity I've heard of are all fundementally the same. No additional guidance is necessary really, as long as you fully understand the guidleines, you could live out the rest of your life thinking for your self, and doing what you beleive to be right.

You only really run into problems when you fall in with a large group of people, being led by someone, using your religion to try and convince you to do something that runs counter to your best interest. If your connection to your Supreme being is a personal and intimate one, aren't you the only one qualified to determine what your God wants you to do?
