Ever since Raphael planned to accept Fang Xiao as his personal disciple, he knew that Fang Xiao's understanding of the Light God Sect must be negative, but he didn't expect Fang Xiao's thoughts to surprise him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Seeing that Raphael didn't mean to blame himself, Fang Xiao's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The two men continued to walk slowly along the path without stopping.
Raphael smiled and asked, "There are some things I don't quite understand in what you said just now, there is a word I haven't even heard of, let me ask you, what is the "heresy" you mean?" ”
Fang Xiao was surprised, since ancient times, haven't the words religion and heresy been bound together?
"Aren't heretics those who don't believe in the God of Light? They doubt the doctrine, the people who violate the dogma. ”
Raphael laughed: "Then according to what you said, should we suppress and punish those heretics?" ”
"Shouldn't it be like that?" Fang Xiao asked.
Raphael laughed, looked at Fang Xiao's puzzled eyes, and asked, "Then according to what you said, people who believe in other gods are all heretics to us, do we mean that the people of our Light God Sect want to go to war with all the other God Cults?" ”
“......”
Fang Xiao couldn't answer, he always felt that something was not quite right...
"We believe in the God of Light, but we also have high respect for other gods, we don't need to force people to believe in the God of Light, and we don't bother to do that, because in our Illuminati Religion, a person decides his own beliefs, decides to dedicate his loyalty to that god, this is a noble and sacred thing, although the power of the gods is weak and strong, but there is no distinction between high and low for people's devout belief in the gods, if someone has to distinguish a superior, It was an insult to all who had faith, even to the gods. ”
"Then doesn't the Cult of the Illuminati say that it doesn't win over believers and expand its sphere of influence?" Fang Xiao continued to ask.
"Yes, of course we do these things, it's better to say that this is our job," Raphael nodded, "We will also start wars, and we will also expand our strength, increase our people, and win over more followers, but you must understand one truth, in the Cult of the Illuminati, loyalty and faith from the depths of the soul are the most brilliant pearls that belong to the God of Light, and those ignorance and even forced awe are just garbage to the God of Light." So our job is to fight, not force, to win over more people, to believe in the God of Light, before people have their own faithful faith! ”
Fang Xiao understood, he just felt that what Raphael said was full of disobedience, and Fang Xiao finally realized the problem.
"Teacher, I want to ask you something." Fang Xiao looked at Raphael walking beside him, and couldn't help but ask, "Have you seen the God of Light?" ”
"Yes," Raphael smiled and nodded: "When I was in the Holy See before, I saw him a few times, but I haven't seen him much in the past few years." ”
"Have the other cults seen their own gods?"
"I think so."
Herein lies the problem!
The reason why the religion on the continent of the gods is a little different from the religion in my impression
It's because there really are gods on the Continent of the Gods!
You can really send down miracles to bless people and protect your devout believers!
And it seems that many gods still live together in this world.
No one wants to use special means to collect all the believers on the Continent of the Gods into their own pockets.
Then the gods need to compete with each other, fight for their own power, fight for their own believers.
As long as it is competition, it needs to stand on an equal footing.
Either all the gods will close off their power and force those within their power to believe in themselves, or they will let the whole continent believe freely and gather their most devout people.
It seems that the gods have chosen the latter...
Raphael stopped, stood on the side of the road, facing the endless fields, and said with a smile: "The divine power of the Cult of Light does not need religion to consolidate, because it is the power of the God of Light itself, and the followers of the Cult of Light do not need to be deceived and coerced, because you believe in the God of Light, the God of Light will give you favors, you see this fertile land, lush crops, and people's stable life, everything is the blessing of the God of Light!" We, the Pope and the Pope, are not the holders of power, we are only the most loyal servants of the God of Light, all we need to do is to convey the will of the God of Light to the people of this world, to proclaim our teachings, to welcome more devout believers into the arms of the God of Light. ”
Fang Xiao asked with some curiosity:
"So can faith change?"
Raphael shook his head at this question, looked at Fang Xiao's eyes, and said solemnly:
"Deciding one's own belief is a person's freedom, but once your belief is decided, it is absolutely impossible to change, abandoning one's belief means denying the gods, which is the greatest insult to the gods, if the gods in a religion are insulted, then the followers of this religion will definitely do everything possible to make the person who insults his own gods disappear in this world, so betraying one's own belief is the most serious sin of religion."
So that's it......
On this continent, it is free to choose one's faith, but one cannot betray one's faith.
It's all because the gods are alive
Therefore, betrayal of the gods is considered the most serious sin.
I believe that even the gods who are generous will not sit idly by and watch those who insult them.
The gods are not to be disgraced...
"So what are the teachings of the Cult of the Illuminati?" Fang Xiao asked
Upon hearing this, Raphael smiled and said in an unfathomable tone:
"The teachings of the Illuminati are, but they don't."
"What do you mean?"
At this time, the sun was close to the western horizon, and the western sky was dyed a fiery red.
Retracting his gaze from the distance, Raphael turned and walked towards the red sunset.
"The doctrine of the Cult of the Light God exists, it exists in the Cult of Light, in history, in the present, and in the future, but no one can answer it completely, or it can be said that the teachings in the hearts of every devout believer are different, you need to see with your own eyes, feel with your heart, you will listen..."
Seeing that Raphael began to move on, Fang Xiao also took a step and followed Raphael's footsteps.
Cult of the Illuminati...
A little bit interested...
