Nichiren stated, "it would be better to outlaw this one evil than offer up ten thousand prayers." He was referring to the Pure Land sect. In this day and age, the Soka Gakkai is the one evil. Nichiren required, accepted, and acknowledged the assistance [to eliminate the one great evil] of not only fellow believers in the Lotus Sutra but unbelievers. Few on the Rick Ross Cult Education SGI Forum, not even Hitch or Anticult, are disputing that the Lotus Sutra as practiced and interpreted by Nichiren is a valid religious tradition. They maintain, as I, that the Lotus Sutra as practiced [or not practiced] and interpreted by Ikeda and the SGI, is not a valid religious tradition.
As far as many of those who don't believe or no longer believe in the Lotus Sutra, Nichiren stated, "it is beyond my ability to save them." I overlook some of the things stated here [and elsewhere] about Namu myoho renge kyo, because it is for the greater good of "outlawing the one evil" of the Soka Gakkai. Ultimately, everyone has to decide for themselves their relationship to the Buddhist Law [Dharma]. Ultimately too, no one is getting rid of religion, least of all, the religion of the Lotus Sutra, not with reasonings, hatred, supposed evidence or discovery, or delusion.
