Freedom - cannot be found outside God

06/04/2005

So many people believe they are asserting their freedom when they say they have nothing to do with God or religion! In their minds, practising a religion means agreeing to restrict oneself, and they are proud of refusing restrictions. Yes, they reject religion, but they believe in pleasure, power, money, glory and popularity. Is this their idea of freedom? They imagine they will be enslaved by God – which is to say by light, love and life – and they attempt to free themselves in ways which will most certainly reduce them to slavery! They are unaware that all the doors of heaven are closing to them, and that one day, inexorably, the earthly doors will close as well. What can be done for those who are so naive!
