Todd whispered to Arborough, "Do you see everything you want to see in Heaven?"

A look of piety appeared on Abrul's face: "I never imagined that one day I would be so close to God's dwelling. In Heaven, everything seems so perfect, too perfect. ”

Todd held his chin in his right hand, looked at Arrborough and said, "I have a question, you used to be a member of the Jade Jade, why did the other three abandon the religious path, and you were the only one who stayed?"

Arrborough pointed to the top of his "grassless" head, and said in a semi-mocking tone: "Because I am smarter than the other three, and think more." ”

Hearing the other party's words, Todd couldn't help but shake his head and smiled: "If Terrence hadn't left, I'm afraid there would be a lot of noise here now." ”

Arborough bowed to Todd and said slowly: "It is often said that truth is a path that has no end. In fact, the further you go, the more you will find that there are thousands of paths in this world, and the truth is only a small part of them. ”

"When people are young, what they see and hear is just something that others indoctrinate and few people think about the essence of things, but when they are young, human beings begin to come into contact with knowledge and cases, and begin to understand the world under the guidance of others, at this time they are easily misled by words, mistakenly believing that what others say is true, and what they see and hear is everything. ”

Later, as people grow older, they will be exposed to more and more inexplicable and completely contradictory things, and even begin to doubt all the common sense they have learned in life. ”

Aarbrough paused for a moment, then continued, "It is only at this time that it can be said that humanity is really beginning to try to understand the world. ”

"Terrence old stubbornness used to say that truth explains everything. But it never occurred to him that when a question was explained by the truth, there would be more unexplainable questions, like a jar full of worms and cockroaches being opened, crawling everywhere. Some of them can be explained by the truth, while others are completely contrary to the truth. ”

"They say the world is made up of particles, so what is inside when you open them?"

"They say that the world is a sphere, located in the galaxy of the Sun. So what does it look like out there when you jump out of this galaxy? Will there be a wall at the far end announcing the end of space?"

"They say that the creator of mankind is not God, but nature. So who is the creator of nature, and who is the creator of this creator?"

Todd leaned forward and asked Arborough, "Sounds like you don't agree with the truth?"

"No, quite the opposite," Aarrörth said. I am not against the truth, nor am I against religion. For me, the vast majority of this world is unknown, and any definition of matter and spirit by human beings at this stage is a loose speculation and inference. ”

Todd looked at Arborough's bishop robes and said, "So, you're an agnostic. ”

Abramel touched the top of his head with his palm, thought for a moment, and said, "Agnostics believe that the world cannot be known, and any attempt by human beings to decipher the origin of the world is futile. But I disagree with this view, and I acknowledge the progress that this attempt has bringed. No matter how small and humble human beings are, they can finally solve all the mysteries of the origin of the world through continuous learning and cognition. Therefore, I yearn for the truth and think that the truth can give human beings the impetus to move forward, but I am also religious, and I hope that human beings can overcome themselves with the help of religion. ”

Todd asked, "Conquer yourself with religion?"

"Human beings are made up of body and mind, they do not have the insight and tenacity of the gods, and in the face of the unknown, they can only choose more calming options to escape and comfort themselves. But this calming option often leads to a sluggish delay in human progress. ”

"I'm going to use death as an explanation. ”

"For those who are not religious, the end of life is a cruel and chilling outcome. At the time of death, all senses, including taste, touch, hearing, and sight, will fail, and people will be placed in a dark and bottomless space, forever losing the concept of time, quietly waiting for death to come. When the last breath is swallowed, the person is buried in the earth, the corpse will become food for maggots, and the mind will completely dissipate as the brain withers. ”

"Man will disappear from this world completely, leaving nothing and no will. ”

This kind of thinking of non-religious human beings makes them have the most pessimistic negative feelings about death. The most common point of view is that the most important thing is that people are alive, and once they die, they can't take anything with them, so they must have fun in time. This kind of thinking would lead humanity to prioritize the survival of the individual over the survival of the race. As a direct result, a certain person does not hesitate to use bad means to harm the interests of the public for his own selfish interests. ”

The existence of religion has brought a divine warning to mankind, so that believers no longer regard self-interest as a priority. ”

Todd frowned and asked, "But why did Heavenly Father's Church become what it is now?"

Arrbrough sighed: "The very existence of religion itself is to teach human beings to abandon arrogance and respect the unknown. On the one hand, it gives believers spiritual peace and makes them have scruples in their words and deeds, and on the other hand, it gives believers hope for the future. ”

However, with the development of doctrine and the evolution of religion, the doctrine of God has gradually been distorted in the hands of man, and finally completely changed its original meaning, and has become a means for a few people in the Holy See to gain power and accumulate wealth. ”

Abram shook his head helplessly and said, "As is often said in the poems, the favorite who should have been closest to God has now become the most depraved sinner." ”

Thinking back to what the church had done over the years, Todd was silent for a long time, and then said, "Let's not mention these for the time being, do you have any plans for the two-religion alliance mentioned above?"

"Although the war of the Holy Acropolis has greatly reduced the direct military strength in the hands of the radicals of the Church, if you count the Knights, the Faithful, the Order's Guards, the Muslims, etc., there are still about nine thousand people in total. ”

Todd said unconcernedly: "These forces are not a threat to me. ”

Arrborough took out a pamphlet from his bosom and handed it to Todd: "I know, but according to the information provided by the royal spies, it seems that the war maniacs have found the infidels in the south and bought a lot of weapons from them. ”

Todd seemed to hear the funniest thing in the world: "You mean, the church bought muskets and cannons from the Empire?"

Yarborough looked up at Todd: "It's not surprising that even the most docile rabbit will open its mouth to bite when chased into a corner. ”
