Man may at times have lost sight of the purpose of religion and why religion is there for. Man may at times forget that religion is to enable man to relate with God and saints above.
Religion is not a numbers game where numbers and popularity of all sorts count. Religion is not in the democratic process where numbers can determine who governs.
It enables the spiritual process whereby man can find peace in life through personal relationship with God and saints. It is just that simple but men often think otherwise.
Of course there is value in numbers and numbers can give confidence that there are many more others with that man. Then that man can reassure himself that surely so many cannot be wrong. That is indeed good for him.
But the reality is that all religious ways and systems serve their purposes and have respective roles in society. They are never wrong but exist to meet preferences and inclinations of the various sections of society.
The underlying tread or inner truth common to all is that there is God or Divinity and love of God for beings and love by beings for God and for life, not only of the individual for self but for all. This is the inner truth that is stressed and highlighted by the Mission of God through his messenger Lord Bo Tien.
The mission is to reawaken men more completely to this inner truth of love for life in God and in all. This obviously does not need for any new religion or sect or even for change of religion or sect though some men find it necessary to do so before they can better embrace love of God and of life. This too is wholesome, isn't it?

| This basket of flower is as wholesome or may even be more so as any other but much depends on the beholder. Thus there is need for many kinds and types not just one or two types Isn't that true also for religions and sects? But as for all things in life, attachment is not good even more so with religion Man likes to cling on and cannot let go This limits his peace Give this more thought. Religion that is wholesome can end up not so. It depends on the man After all man is behind religion Not God and saints Who only inspire men to have more religious ways in the religions and sects we know today and tomorrow |
