Kishimoto did not express his personal attitude, but he understood that there is a principle of religious freedom in Japan.

It is precisely because of the existence of such a principle of religious freedom that many cults have been born under the cloak of religion. One of the most famous and well-known cults is Aum Shinrikyo.

On March 20, 1995, Aum Shinrikyo members launched a sarin gas attack on five trains on three subway lines in Tokyo, killing 13 people and injuring 6,300 others, creating a terrorist attack that shocked the world.

In 2000, the cult changed its name to the "Alephs" and split into two factions in 2007. The majority of them are the "Alephs" and the minority are the "Wheel of Light".

Japanese media said they were still using CDs and materials from the original patriarch Shoko Asahara. On July 6, 2018, Shoko Asahara was executed.

"Why don't you speak, just look at my mother, your mother-in-law is jumping into the fire pit?" said Rie Sakai, focusing on Kishimoto's body.

"There's something wrong with that. On what basis do you affirm that the small emerging sect that your mother-in-law believes in is a cult? In my opinion, it is easy to say whether a sect is a cult or not but it is difficult to say.

I don't look at whether it is a collection of wealth, a cult of personality and spirit, etc., but only a little bit of whether it has caused casualties to innocent ordinary people. Kishimoto said nonchalantly.

"Why do you make me feel like you didn't say it?" said Rie Sakai, unsatisfied with his answer.

"The Bible has been revised hundreds of times since the day it was born, large and small. On the basis of the original Christianity, there are also Catholicism, Protestantism, and Orthodox Christianity.

Not only that, but on this basis, various niche sects are also subdivided. The reason why people believe in religion is based on practical and spiritual needs.

Why do cults have room to survive? That is also in line with the law that existence is reasonable. Where there is day, there is night, and where there is sunshine, there must be shadow.

The cult represents one of the dark sides of this world. Its demagogic rhetoric and so-called doctrine are not unreasonable, they are complete nonsense.

Even if it has a lot of contradictions and problems, it is not easy for ordinary people to find out. Ordinary people often do not have the ability to think independently, are too lazy to think, and will not think seriously and think deeply.

They are generally stubborn, and will only justify themselves and excuse themselves based on some preconceived knowledge in their heads...... Even if there is an objection, it will be ridiculed, ridiculed, and so on.

People who are not satisfied and unconfident in real life naturally find it difficult to insist on their own opinions, so they have to be subordinate to collective thinking.

According to the explanation of the book "The Rabble", after the individual consciousness is subordinated to the collective consciousness, the IQ will be greatly reduced.

They want a simple and intuitive result, not a problem. Even today's latest edition of the Bible is full of contradictions and inconsistencies.

Let's not talk about the so-called doctrines of cults. It is full of absurdities, contradictions, and invincibilitys. Cults take advantage of the weaknesses in human nature so that they can confuse a large number of so-called believers.

The groups that are most susceptible to the temptation of cults are? First, they are none other than ordinary people at the bottom of society. Their lives are not easy, so they naturally need a place for spiritual sustenance and placement.

Not to mention cults, even serious religions have had problems in the course of missionary work. In "Silence", Shusaku Endo mentions that Christianity once had more than 300,000 believers in Kyushu, Japan.

Do you really think that the ordinary Japanese people understood the true doctrine of Christianity? It was the Japanese at that time who understood the God of Christianity as the god Amaterasu, whom they had believed in for a long time.

In addition, many ordinary Japanese people mistakenly believe that they believe in God, and after death, they will be able to ascend to heaven to enjoy happiness, and they no longer have to live in the dire waters of reality, after all, their real life is too difficult.

Why was Christianity brutally suppressed by the Tokugawa shogunate in the early days? It was because some missionaries induced believers in Kyushu to rebel.

This is absolutely a zero-tolerance thing for any country, any ruler, and it is definitely something that will be killed.

Prior to this, neither the daimyo of Kyushu nor the shogunate of Japan had been excessively aggressive in dealing with Christian behavior in Japan, and had basically adopted a non-interventionist attitude.

In addition, the Japanese have a strong national character in terms of xenophobia. This country is just like Shusaku Endo said in "Silence", in the swampy land of Japan, God has been silent.

Japan is like a swamp, and it is difficult for anything else to survive on it, which once again shows that this country is very xenophobic. Kishimoto said slowly.

When he said this, he felt a little dry mouth, so he paused, and after taking a large sip of sake to moisten his throat, he continued: "Second, the reason why cults can deceive many people is nothing more than supernatural abilities, money, sex, and so on.

That is to say, if ordinary people lack something, then give it to their liking. There are quite a few ways like the underworld recruiting younger brothers, following the boss, you won't be bullied in the future, some are spent with money, and some are beautiful girls. Of course, before these things are realized, it is natural to pay monthly membership dues, participate in organizational activities, etc.

In addition, it uses the brainwashing technique of pyramid schemes to gather believers together for assemblies in an organized and regular manner, so as to repeatedly brainwash ......"

Rie Sakai didn't wait for him to finish before interrupting directly, "Don't tell me about this. As long as my mom wasn't cheated.

As for what the nature of cults is, I have no interest at all. Anyway, it can't fool me. You just give me a happy word, can you solve it?"

"I can solve it, and I don't want to solve it. So far, there is absolutely no evidence that the new sect that my mother-in-law joined was a cult.

As long as the other party does not cross the line to bewitch and harm my family, then it is not an enemy of my Kishimoto justice. Otherwise, you're making enemies of me.

I'm an atheist, so I'm not interested in these things in the first place. If I were not an investor, but a politician, I would be interested in the votes of believers of a particular denomination.

Even if you don't believe in that set in your heart, for the sake of support, you will join it. Who made Japan a one-person-one-vote electoral country?" Kishimoto said eloquently.
