There are people that believe that they are working through God. We see this everyday in missionaries that try to help others, and attempt to be role models for their religions. But there are also people that believe that God works through them; but they force their religion on others, even at the expense of human life. This appears to be an oxymoron to religion.

In the Heaven’s Truth Church (Tenrikyo), we do not force religion on others; but we have a special prayer asking God to help sweep the evils (greed, arrogance, and self love) from the minds of the world. It is told that when we pray with true sincerity that God will bring others to us. As more people purify their hearts, this prayer will resonate throughout the world. Eventually all mankind will be purified from their innermost hearts, and the world will experience true joy.
