Whoever speaks ill of those who do not have the same beliefs and practices as himself is not toeing the line of God and saints who love even those who do not believe in them. To the bigoted man, if they do not adhere to rules or norms, they are not worthy of association.
But what is even worse is when that man says that God and his saint are angry and jealous and will not tolerate dissenters and those who worship other gods or saints. How can loving God and saints be wrathful? That would be an anomaly.
In fact even demons have their good sides and they are often not wrathful. It is the demon in man that makes God and saints appear to be more demonic than demons. The demonic side of man is even more demonic than demons.
Ji Gong in his life as man was persecuted and considered an outcast of sorts because men of the monastery considered him unworthy as he could not toe the line and behave in accordance with the rules and regulations of the monastery. He ate eat, drank wine and frolicked with beggars, children and monkeys. He was asked to leave. We can say that they demonize him and that is sad.

| Ji Gong |
They made it as though he was unworthy of God and saints (buddhas). They make it appear that appearance and superficiality of toeing the norms, beliefs and practices are paramount. Goodness at putting up a show comes first and ability to be good at heart takes a backstage. Ji Gong was good at heart but did not put up a front of sorts. That is the issue. He was more a saint than many at the monastery.
Not only did the men at the monastery pronounced him as hopeless and going the way of devils, they made it appear as though God and Saints had given up on him. They make the all-loving God and Saints to appear like demons who made outcast out of him.
But in reality it is the demon nature in the men at the monastery that demonize God and Saints. They put God and saints in bad light, literally making them appear and act like demons. It is often the demon in men that demonizes God and saints.

| Ji Gong The Living Buddha |
Perhaps, it was in Ji Gong's saintly nature to want to expose the demonic nature of men. He acted as though he was useless but till this day even as saint, he believes that "what matters is not what one does or what goes through the gut but what is in the heart."
He has God and Buddha nature in his heart, not ungodly nature with external showmanship that reeks of pretense. Demons often put up pretense often with a show of God nature but their true demonic nature would often break out through the mask.
They are outright critical, judgmental and not benevolent for others' shortfalls. These are tell tail signs of demonic nature. They blanket condemn those who do not conform with their ways and beliefs.
The good God who is loving and ever accommodating will never say we fall short of the glory of God. But the demonic nature in men may use God's name in vain and say that we fall short of the glory of God and have erred or sinned that terribly.

| Lord Bo Tien |
That is why Lord Bo Tien in 1975 message said that there is in reality no sin though men may be less right. When we do wrong or less right, we do not hurt or harm God. On the contrary, God feels sorry for us and love us even more. He has no anger or wrath. There should never be any fear in God and saints. If ever we fear God and saints, it is because men make us do so. The demon nature in men demonizes God and saints.
A good saint or God will reach out to us and not wait for us to reach out to him. You don't even have to believe or worship him, let alone fear him before he will bless you.

| Amitabha Buddha |
Amitabha is one shining example. He and the saints at Pure Land bring blessings to us even in this life. We do not wait till afterlife for heaven. Heaven is no carrot to tempt us. Only demon in men will tempt us with the carrot of Heaven. Saints do not and thank God that is obvious to the more discerning and wise.

| Amitabha and his saints come to us |
Amitabha and his saints come to us and we do not need even to reach out to them and go on bent knees to beg for their blessings. Only the demon in men demonizes God and saints and ever eager for us to fear and tremble on the mere mention of God and saints.
