Fradwagan began with a few minutes of everyday clichés—at least in the denomination—and then began his sermon, which at first sounded similar to the one I had heard in a town church out of curiosity, but there were always differences that I could not conclude for a while. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"The gods of the West would like to say that God loves the world, but the dragon god does not.

"God loves the world, but the world often disgraces God, God makes people respect, people insult each other, God makes people love each other, people kill each other, God says to practice one's own body to achieve eternal life, people are obsessed with material desires and sink into hell," Ferdagan glanced at the audience, "so it doesn't matter what God says, what matters is what we do." ”

"Therefore, the dragon god is silent, so the dragon god is not seen, if he is silent, how should the dragon god love people? The speaker is me, the incarnation of this world, what is the incarnation? The comrades who uphold the teachings and will are the incarnation of the dragon god. ”

The arguments that Fradwagan concocted were not close to the method of true incarnation that I knew, but he was an ordinary man after all, and it can be said that he had worked theories, and that he deserved praise for deceiving himself, and the most convincing part of his argument was that he did not seem to mind others taking his place at all, and when I thought of this, I could not help but think about the purpose of Mr. Madwagan in founding the sect.

"Why is our god a dragon god? What is the dragon god like? Many of the new children have not yet understood these questions, and many have asked me privately why our god is not in the form of a human but a beast that has emerged from an ancient mythology. "I tell them that this is nonsense, and that the gods are leading us out of the fog and guiding us in the direction of our lives, and what is the point of caring about the appearance of the gods?" When I say this, there are many people who are not convinced, and they say, "In that case, why should we emphasize the gods themselves, and what difference does it make if our gods are dragon gods or some other god?" ”

Well...... What's the difference? I didn't want to admit it, but I was attracted to him.

"The dragon brings clouds, brings rain, brings wind, when our ancestors rely on the sky to eat, they worship the sky, worship the ground, worship the wind and rain, it is the dragon god for our ancestors to create the right to pursue the harvest, it does not give food, it does not give money, it gives our ancestors the courage we need, give our ancestors the power we need, the dragon god is silent, but it brings strength to our ancestors, this strength has been passed down for thousands of years, precipitated and rejuvenated in our blood. The dragon god does not create the world, does not create living beings, does not seek false fame, does not seek prominent status, it is great but unheard, merciful but not rotten and good. ”

Fu Daogan said a good word about the dragon god, and I didn't know much about it, and seeing that the believers' reaction to the dragon god was pious but not too aggressive, I couldn't help but feel that I still couldn't deeply understand the thinking of the Orientals.

"Let us remember the appearance of our gods, which are inconsequential but carry merit, which has no intention of manifestation, but we must not forget." This is supposed to answer the question of "many."

It seemed reasonable, but it felt crooked, and I turned my head and decided not to think deeply about this messy sermon, and if the dragon god of Fordan was related to the dragon god of Gensokyo, maybe I should pay attention to it, but I really couldn't figure out if there might be a deeper relationship between the two, and I couldn't think of any connection between the two other than the name and the legend.

Next, Fu Daogan talked about the exploits of the dragon god out of nowhere, and the believers also cooperated with the expression of fascination and yearning, if everything in the True Saint Sect only stays on this side, then it doesn't matter whether the official defines it as a cult or not, they seem harmless.

But!

"Most of the people of any god in the world will have this appeal: Give me the power of the gods, and I will use them to conquer the unbelievers and spread the light of God. Do we want to do the same? I tell you that we are not them, and that our gods allow us to reap the good from our own deeds, and not to destroy the good of others by plundering. This sounds familiar......

But is the environment in which we live, the society in which we live, what we hope it to be? We are industrious, brave, united and hardworking, what can be rewarded for us is the cold scraps of reality, we refuse to plunder, but what can be rewarded for us is the poultry farm livestock that are treated as what we want. ”

"The dragon god is silent, so the god does not say anything to make us plunder, nor does he say to make us endure, how should we deal with ourselves?" At this point he paused for nearly a minute, apparently to give the believers time to think for themselves, and there was silence in the granary, and then he turned his words and did not give an answer, this kind of oratory technique seems to be called picking it up high and putting it down gently, "The gods have given me strength, what is power?" Strength for what? Do we need strength? ”

"The power is in our hands!" "What makes me wield a hoe for the plough?" What makes us work hard in our company statements? What makes us repeat the same action over and over again on a factory assembly line? It's power, it's the power that the gods remind us of what we are born with! God doesn't have to give anyone strength because our strength is innate, and when we are at a loss, when we lose our direction, the gods tell us that we are born with the power to change ourselves. We need strength, but we don't have to ask the gods for power, the gods are selfless and will not favor anyone, give power to me or you? When I compelled you in the name and power of the gods, did the gods not bring me to shame? We can and must pray to God and seek strength from ourselves! ”

"The power is in ourselves, and I think there are many confused friends who want to ask, so why do we need God to tell us? I tell you, we need God to tell us, because we always forget our own power! Because we are so accustomed to it, we have long forgotten that power is in our hands! ”

After a few more moments of excitement, Madugan called for a half-time break.

Seeing that the parishioners on all sides had left their seats to move freely, I asked Edogawaichi, who was absent-minded but attentive to everyone present, "Does he talk about similar content every time?" ”

He lowered his voice and whispered, "Occasionally, or rarely, he seldom stirs his followers to believe in his own power as he does today. ”

"He's going to arrange a terrorist attack?"

"I don't know, I guess his purpose will not be simple, among the leaders of more than a dozen groups, only his mind seems to be easy to understand, but it is actually the most difficult to guess."

"What do you think of him?" I asked again.

"What does Miss Fran think?"

"He's very good at eliciting a sense of identity among certain groups," I thought about and continued to respond with my heart, "and in his previous discourses on how to deal with gods, he very cleverly avoided questions that often plague simple-minded Christians, such as whether God exists or not." ”

"That's why I just said that this is an atheistic religion, and they don't talk about whether God exists or not, because God never sees people, and all 'God says' comes out of the mouth of an incarnation."

"It seems that today's rally visit will not get any information about the organization behind the scenes," I said regretfully, "just knowing that there is an inexplicable sectarian group here." ”

Edogawa is half regretful and half accustomed to, "It seems that it is." ”
