4. RELIGION IS THE PLACE WHERE BROKEN HUMANKIND IS REBORN

Through the Fall, humankind became people whose minds and bodies are fighting. Inside one are fighting the elements which are heading towards two purposes. When a family is formed, this becomes four. If there are ten people, it becomes twenty.

From this viewpoint, we cannot deny the statement that our world is a world of unhappiness. It is made of such people. Then, if the absolute God exists, He cannot just leave such people as they are. If God just left them as they are, then that is not God. Because humankind is broken like this, behind the scenes in human history God began to create a repair shop to repair them. That is religion. Religion teaches humankind to return to God. There is no religion which is not centered on God. Because we do not have a relationship with God, if we don't form a relationship there is no way to return.

Therefore, many different forms of religions were placed in the different cultures, different traditions, different races and different backgrounds. In that way, centered on God, humankind headed towards the purpose of God, the purpose God desired. (53-115)

We lost the exalted concept of love as absolute value which God gave us as a great undertaking. We should know that today we are pitiful people living and moaning as beings between two opposite, phenomenal worlds. In other words, we are broken people. But because the absolute God cannot help but relate to us, and because He could not just leave humankind this way, through the course of history He worked to give humankind rebirth. That is to say it was necessary to make a repair shop. That is religion. (52-321)
