Chapter 13: The Demon Seed

On the other hand, Bishop Darryl, who had left the Elite Gate Enlightenment Sect building, had already sat in a high-end car, which was fully enclosed, and the special glass ensured that the outside could be clearly seen from the inside, but the outside did not know anything about the inside of the car.

"Go straight back to the company." The ordinary-looking Bishop Darryl's voice at this time was completely different from before, and it was Li Jie's voice.

As the car drove off the avenue, the bones and muscles of his whole body seemed to have an independent life, and they squirmed sensitively and delicately, and after a while, both his body and appearance had returned to their original appearance. Just a few small changes in skin color, facial features, and physique can turn into an almost completely different person, which is obviously not troublesome for Li Jie, who is slowly recovering his strength.

That's right, the so-called Ilemente Enlightenment sect was completely founded by Li Jie. Ever since he realized the powerful appeal of religion in this world, he had the idea to start a bishopric in New York after mobilizing enormous resources.

Of course, that's not what they claim to be to the outside world. In the external propaganda, the Elementic Enlightenment sect has been gradually originating since the 18th century, but it has only slowly expanded its scale until now, which involves a whole set of design and packaging.

The multitude of denominations is a unique phenomenon in the United States. Although the vast majority of the people here are Christian, there are historical reasons why various other religions coexist. As we all know, the United States is a nation of immigrants, and a long time ago, a significant portion of those who came to the American continent from their homeland did so in order to escape religious control at home. They are hopeful. To be free in a new land.

This initial desire. Naturally, a preference for religion gradually developed. Every man who has ever been repressed tries to show himself that he is a free man, a sovereign man. So they advocated choosing their religion as they pleased, choosing a church or a way of worship, rather than being authoritarian as they had done in the past.

Because of this, the founders of the United States have legally enshrined religious freedom from the very beginning. The First Amendment explicitly prohibits the establishment of a state religion. Congress may not enact laws prohibiting freedom of religion from interfering with denominational organizations and activities at the federal and state levels, and Americans in every state have the same freedom to believe. Immigrants brought the religious beliefs and activities of their home denominations to the United States and founded many denominations. Many of these denominations have branches, and the number of denominations is growing rapidly.

For Americans, religion is more than just a belief, and has even permeated every aspect of American life.

If an American is a member of a religious organization. He was given a certain identity and status in society, which made him realize that he had a place in the social group, and he felt at ease with it. Americans are often dominated by this notion that they want to be consistent in their actions and ideologies with those around them, rather than being left alone and degenerate.

And even in many social groups. A non-religious person may be criticized in some way by people as having quirks and being unapproachable. Thus, although the law in the United States enshrines freedom to believe in religion and not to believe in religion, in practice this freedom is often resisted by the spontaneous trend of preference for religion in society. That is to say, you had better believe in something, which is far more unflattering than any faith.

Candidates who attempt to run for government often have to show their religious devotion in order to win favor and win more votes. As mentioned earlier, so much so that the president or presidential candidate of the United States is in a public speech. The end must be God bless America, which shows the influence of religion.

Of course, I actually believe a lot. Not necessarily. With the development of the times, all kinds of bizarre ideas and trends of thought have emerged, and people's choice of religion or sect has become more and more bizarre.

Don't be surprised if you see the church at its events, popping jazz, modern dance, contemporary art, folk music, folk dance, poetry, drama, slides and films, and even rock 'n' roll. Although it will certainly anger those traditionalists. But there are still many people who are enthusiastic about this new change, because of it. They no longer have to spend long hours in church listening to pastors casually repeating clichés, nor do they have to listen to old music from centuries ago.

The United States now. The most prominent feature is the coexistence of multiple denominations, with at least more than 300 different religious denominations and more than 200,000 local denominational groups in the United States. What is even more outrageous is that there are more than 1,000 cult organizations in the United States, which is simply a "cult kingdom."

What Branch Davidianism (h_davidians), Caring for Christians (d_christians), Universal Victory (church_universal_and_), People's Temple (peoples_temple), Gates of Heaven (s_gate), the list goes on. From the suicide of 900 members of the People's Temple, to the Sun Temple, which preached the end of the world and went to the holy land of Sirius, to the "Gate of Heaven" where aliens live, you can find any strange sect in American history.

Even today, in the 21st century, don't be surprised if you hear of a sect with an average of one man and a dozen women, and a form of polygamy. Because the women are even voluntary, in such denominations, there is often no television or Internet. These women have been successfully brainwashed and are willing to live in this alternative small society, and even the government can't do anything about these sects, as long as they don't sabotage, they don't bother to pay attention to it.

So Li Jie even wondered if he was too conservative. Compared to the colleagues of these cults, the Enlightenment Sect of the Elite Gate is simply as pure as a small white flower, and it is even more holy than Christianity. At the very least, those so-called enlightenment counseling, but real soul enhancement, are of great benefit to the recipients, but the vast majority of ordinary people cannot do it on their own, and they need the guidance of these demon priests - even so. There are still a lot of rotten wood that can't support the wall, and still can't sense the fluctuations of the soul magnetic field.

Only when Li Jie personally goes into battle can everyone feel it. However, this is only an expedient measure, with the expansion of the demon army, I believe that soon the flame of the Enlightenment Sect will be able to form a prairie fire in various places.

"Your Excellency. Why waste your precious energy on these senseless human beings? Gus had a puzzled expression on his face, and asked cautiously, the longer he spent with Li Jie, the more he was impressed by the layout and thoughts of this adult, and he unconsciously wanted to understand more of his intentions.

"Don't stick to superficial power, Gus." For this subordinate's curiosity. Li Jie is still very willing to be satisfied, because with the spread of the situation in all aspects, he always feels that there are too few people who can use it smoothly, and he is far from keeping up with his needs. "In human society, these people can play a much more powerful role than they seem. There is an old saying in China. Gather sand into a tower, gather armpits into a fur. No matter how tiny an individual is, it can exert a power far beyond imagination when it reaches a certain order of magnitude. Through the Enlightenment, we can bring in people from all walks of life, politicians, businessmen, policemen, lawyers, workers, celebrities, who write, teach, make art, build houses, trade stocks, manage hedge funds, run businesses, invent new technologies...... As long as there are people, it can develop. When there are our people in every corner of the world, then whatever you want to do, it will be much easier. ”

"What's more. In order to welcome a better future, we must adapt people's concepts to us step by step, right? Li Jie took the cigar that Gus respectfully handed over. After lighting it, I took a pleasant puff.

Gus clearly understood what he meant, and a cruel but somewhat dull smile appeared on his face.

That's right, rather than co-opting these people, it is more important to imperceptibly spread the teachings of the Enlightenment sect. On the surface, it seems to be completely out of kindness and positive guidance for human beings to improve themselves and improve themselves. But at a deeper level, it is to plant a seed in their hearts:

Human beings themselves need to evolve and improve.

Slowly. When someone provides some external force, even if it looks a little strange. It's different from common sense, and it's even a little scary. People who already subscribe to the idea of evolution are less repulsive.

It's like boiling a frog in warm water, you need to heat it up slowly and little by little, and you can't rush it until then. In order to make this basin of warm water look more attractive, Li Jie can be said to have mobilized a lot of resources to collect talents, experts in the fields of psychology, history, politics, economics, humanities, and theology, brainstorming and repeated research, and he also personally checked before the doctrine and core ideas of the Enlightenment sect were initially determined: spiritual freedom and self-improvement.

In a way, the Enlightenment will essentially be a multinational corporation peddling goods. It's just that it's not peddling entities, it's an idea: spiritual freedom and self-perfection – an elusive, but inherently Americanized idea, more popular than ever in this day and age, akin to a form of spiritual healing.

Americans have long aspired to be fully healed of their physical, spiritual, and spiritual deficiencies. The Enlightenment was able to fulfill their aspirations to perfect humanity and improve human society. It will be a shaped, powerful sect that promises to heal its followers, and the Enlightenment has an unbeatable advantage over those that are in fact by merely talking and selling occultism: the Soul Magnet of the Demon Clergy, which is the Enlightenment Counseling that is claimed to be the Enlightenment. This kind of miracle that can make the believers feel their transformation from the inside out is definitely a miracle that the world dreams of, and it is enough to make them crazy.

Because the most realistic lie is nine parts true and one part false - in this dream of enlightenment, self-perfection is indeed true, but is this deepest influence, and finally metamorphosing, is it still human? Then it's up to you.

Li Jie wouldn't care anyway. In his vision, as the Enlightenment slowly expanded its influence, the so-called cults would be able to stand aside, and even in the end, normal religion would be difficult to contend with. Therefore, all that remains is to rely on these gods and experts to improve the doctrine and strengthen the guidance of the mind.

In order to open up the situation as soon as possible, Li Jie even signaled them to provide the various resources of the sect at cost price. In other words, he is not prepared to make money from the sect at all. However, unexpectedly, those believers who tasted the sweetness actually rushed to spontaneously and generously donate money for the denomination. This is also good, and it gives Li Jie more confidence, and it seems that the Enlightenment sect is far more popular than imagined.

Another new seed has been planted in the dark fertile soil, and it is still far away from blooming a bewitching demon flower? (To be continued)
