Religion
The inner happiness
If someone has felt the luck of the wondrous joy in his heart, he has found access to his spirituality, to holiness. Anyone who breathes the sanctity, breathes happier. Who wants to come closer to the sanctity, may turn his attention to his inner spiritual reality.
Religion should help to ensure that the richness and beauty of the mystical reality can be experienced by individual. Holiness is not in relation to good and evil. Holiness is simply luck. Holiness is the normal state of healthy persons.
The saint has become accustomed to the state of inner happiness. Holiness leads him in his actions. As long as he breathes sanctity, as long it is with him.
It is not so important if someone believes something that someone has told to him. Religion is not the foundation of holiness and mysticism, but mysticism and holiness are the foundation of religion.
Tolerance, prohibition of thinking, false
Believers say that God has given man free will. They claim this free will for themselves. What about the freedom of others? Are they also allowed to follow their own free will, or are they put under pressure to bend in the sense of some know-it-alls?
Not patronizing but humility is appropriate. A claim of religions! He who puts others under pressure so that they believe in something that does not match their inner suituation, encourages them to lie.
This leads people further from the truth than they already are. Whoever wants to remove people the right to challenge the so-called truths of faith is a tyrant.
Claims
Religion has to require that the individual respects the life of all people the same as the life of his children. The doctrine of a mature religion is built on a harmonious interaction with all of nature.
Be on an equal basis with all people means that look down on others is just as wrong as look up. Accept others as his own children means: Accept otherness as well in people that we consider to be good, than among those we consider to be bad. Accept difficult people means, give them as many opportunities for development as in this case parents give to their children and guide them where it is needed.
Is religion good or bad?
If religion facilitates the access to the full, to diligence, truth and tolerance it is good. If it inhibits this access it is bad. Every religion can always improve and become more and more an useful and valuable servant to people. There are examples that show that religion can always improve.
