Not All Paths Lead to the Goal

There is an opinion that all paths lead to a single goal... However, it is not so. Our main task is to cognize God. But in order to achieve this, one has to have an understanding of what God is, and where and how one can find Him! Do many people and entire religious organizations have this knowledge?

No. The overwhelming number of “believers” is convinced that the main “saving” methods are to repeat standard prayers and to do certain “religious” bodily movements...

And where there is no knowledge about God or about His Will for us, horrific perversions arise.

We can recall the fires of the Inquisition, the burning alive of “the Old Believers”, the tearing out of their tongues, the cutting off of their arms...

Even now in many African countries, the clitorises of all the girls are cut off for some reason...

And circumcision for boys — which was turned into a religious rite, into an initiation — looks absurd if it is not performed with the inhabitants of deserts, in which there is little water, and therefore there is no possibility of systematically observing the necessary intimate hygiene...

Let us talk more about initiations. In one country, there is a tradition of the initiation of youths “into men”. This initiation consists in cutting the throat of a ram. I saw this in a television program.

A ram with its four legs tied lies on its side. An executioner cuts its throat slightly with a knife. The ram twitches because of pain. The executioner pauses and then does another cut... He repeats the cuts a few more times... There is no compassion in him for the poor, tortured animal. Probably, he intentionally suppressed it in himself for a long time, preparing for this rite...

Another example I also saw on TV. It was an interview with a young man who related that he had not been able for a long time to decide to kill another human being. Because of this, he felt his inferiority... Finally, he decided and stabbed to death a first woman he met in a park! Now he is happy! He did this! Now he knows for he will be able to repeat this in the future!

These people and others like them do not comprehend that their actions are contrary to the Will of God and that now God will have to organize for them such a destiny through which He will wean them from murders and from causing pain to other innocent beings. How? Through their own pain so that they understand what it is and learn not to cause it to others anymore!

... Some people even believe that the more “infidels” they kill, the more chances to get to paradise they will have...
