Are there gods in this world?
But the immortals are definitely not characters like Zuo Ci, or characters like Zuo Ci, there is still a very, very, very long distance from the immortals.
Maybe there are immortals.
Fei Qian came over and said that there were no thoughts about the immortals in his heart?
Have you ever thought about letting the gods send him to the original world again?
Some.
Crazy to think about it.
In the first two or three years, Fei Qian at that time was chanting the various names of the gods almost all the time, and fell asleep in a whispered prayer every night before going to sleep......
However, what happened?
Nothing happened.
As soon as he woke up the next day, the sun was still rising, and Fei Qian sadly felt that he was still in the Han Dynasty......
The gods were too busy, whether it was the Emperor of Heaven or God, whether it was Laojun or Buddha, whether it was Allah or Allah, Fei Qian had prayed earnestly, but none of the gods listened to his prayers and answered him.
Or if there is no response, it is a fairy attitude.
Immortals are more like creatures of high latitudes.
It's like a span between humans and ants.
Whether the ants will pray or not, Fei Qian does not know.
But Fei Qian knew that who would care about what the ants in the bushes were thinking? Who will bend down and listen carefully to the chatter of the ants earnestly or not?
For the immortals, Fei Qian is an ant.
Maybe he was swept by the wind brought up by the immortal's robe, or maybe he was rubbed when the immortal walked, anyway, Fei Qian left the original world and went to the Han Dynasty.
Humans will also kick small leaves or small stones on the road, and maybe there is an ant on the small leaves and stones......
So will this human stop and help this ant who has suddenly been converted into space and return to its original world?
Therefore, Fei Qian finally got some understanding.
Heaven and earth are not benevolent to all things as dogs, perhaps in the eyes of the Immortal Emperor, Fei Qian, this person and the little ant on the ground, in fact, in the hearts of the immortals, there is no difference, so why do human beings dare to unscrupulously ask the gods to give special care, and they need to listen to their own prayers all the time?
In the mythological classics of the East, heaven and earth were made by Pangu, because the god Pangu slept too comfortably in the chaos, or slept too uncomfortable, anyway, he had an inexplicable extra axe at hand, and then cut down the chaos around him and created heaven and earth.
As for why it's not a knife and a sword, or a green dragon glaive knife or an electromagnetic cannon laser sword or something, maybe Pangu is not actually using an axe, but an instrument beyond human perception, but because the most commonly used tool by the people in ancient times was the axe, if they said that they didn't know anything else, they didn't have a sense of identity and substitution......
Then Pangu died, and his body turned into the sun, moon and stars of the mountains, rivers, and earth, and the creation of man was handed over to Nuwa, who personally pinched the ancient nobles, and the mud ideas drawn out with wicker were the lowly paupers, which was the best basis for the aristocratic bloodline theory in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
If you believe in this myth, then the land of China should always be ruled by those so-called noble bloodlines, who have been crafted by Nuwa herself, and the mud ideas will always only be worthy of being mud legs, and they will be extremely lowly mud legs for the rest of their lives.
In Western mythology and the Bible, God created the heavens and the earth and so on, and it took six days, and then he rested on the seventh day, so there is a Sunday speech.
But what did God create the world for?
Not for anything else, but for Jesus. The Bible makes it clear, 'But we have one God, the Father, from whom all things are born, and to whom we return.'" And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are, and through whom we are. ’
All of this is through Jesus Christ, which means that if it were not for Jesus Christ, God would not have created the world without this spare time.
Then, like a kind father, he picked up a piece of wood or something from the ground, and then carved out a globe, smiled and said to his son, "Come, dear son, this world is for you......"
Dog is God in turn, Live is Evil in turn, in fact, it has been made clear in black and white, but some people will choose to turn a blind eye.
So if there are really immortals, what Fei Qian does, whether it is faith or non-belief, piety or blasphemy, whether it is the gods of the East or the gods of the West, it will not matter. Maybe he was happy or unhappy that day, rushing up and crushing Fei Qian, a crawling ant everywhere, with a finger or a kick, but it must have nothing to do with what Fei Qian did, just look at the mood of the fairy at that time.
There is no need for immortals.
But there must be human things.
From the perspective of human affairs, the current Fei Qian very much wants a religion as an aid to rule.
Before the knowledge of basic civilization was widely disseminated, occultism could satisfy the vast majority of ordinary people's exploration of the problems of heaven and earth, life, etc., give them a plausible answer, and strengthen Fei Qian's control over ordinary people to a certain extent.
Both internally and externally.
Hu people, Montenegro, Baibo, and northern aborigines, Guanzhong refugees; The children of the scholars, the poor and the poor, the soldiers and ruffians, the ordinary farmers who were taken hostage, murderers, arsonists, widows, etc.; These people from different classes and broken families form the current population base of Feiqian, and these people originally lived in different environments, and their customs and habits were different.
This may not be the case for a while, but the danger is still lurking.
Fei potential Pingyang is in charge, there is no problem, under the prestige of General Zhengxi, now no one dares to jump out and do any kind of behavior, but Fei potential will be fixed in Pingyang for the rest of his life?
Fidive prefers to plan ahead rather than make amends, so a glue is needed.
Religion is.
God loves all people, and all men are equal before God, and they are all in harmony with God......
How nice.
Then he left the scope of God, and he did whatever class he wanted, and he did whatever he had to do......
How nice.
What's more, FI Qian needs a religious organization structure that can be independent of the existing administrative system, and through this religious structure, a lot of things can be plugged in......
So, what is religion?
This is a question that Fei Qian has been thinking about for a while.
Or what religion is best for you?
Who are the saints of the Confucian faith?
Confucius.
In the Han Dynasty, when he saw Confucius in the book, he would be angry, scold, hungry, greedy, and avoid......
In the current Taoism of the Han Dynasty, the first immortal of faith is not Lao Tzu, but the so-called Taiyi Tianzun, Yuan Shi Tianzun, Lao Tzu is just an incarnation of an attendant beside Taiyi Yuan Shi Tianzun......
Therefore, in the Han Dynasty, Confucianism and Taoism were still very immature, and the obstacles encountered in promoting or improving were certainly not as great as those of later generations, but will opening this Pandora's box, or lighting up some occult technology trees, create new problems and bring new contradictions?
This is a headache for Fei Qian at the moment, because these things are indeed too involved, and they can't help but think about it thoroughly, even if they can't think about it all first, it's good to have more plans. After all, religious theories and political formations are closely related, and there are advantages and disadvantages, sometimes they are the driving force for social development, and sometimes they are obstacles.
With religion, will the lives of ordinary people be better because of this?
Not necessarily.
Not to mention later generations of China, as far as the world is concerned, there are still a large number of clergy who still have to do some even rough and heavy work after taking off their robes. Religion can't even take care of its own clergy, so how can it take care of those huge poor people?
Without religion, will life be worse because of the lack of faith?
Not necessarily.
Not to mention whether those who stand at the pinnacle of domination have real faith in their hearts with the Bible in their hands, just to say that ordinary people, who do not believe in God or Buddhism, rely on their own hard work and efforts, there are also a large number of people who have changed their fate and recast their lives. Even if it is a gift from God, why would the gods give wealth to an unbeliever, but not to those who are pious but poor?
Therefore, the poverty and wealth of an ordinary person often do not depend on the gods, but on himself, so for Fei Qian, is there any benefit or positive effect on supporting a strong religion and covering or annexing the weak religious systems around it?
Absolutely.
People with religious beliefs are often not so easily diverted in will, which means that the loyalty of the people is relatively stable, and there will be no unrest at the slightest incitement, which is important for the multi-ethnic Fijian territory. At the same time, religion also has a function of stabilizing the social mood within a certain range, reconciling class contradictions, and allowing those at the bottom, especially those who are as laborers, to have a paralyzing spiritual effect.
These are exactly what Fidive needs most.
Just like buildings such as churches or Buddhist halls in later Sim city games, which can increase the pleasure of nearby NPCs, all religions in later generations that can preach and explain doctrines under the sun in the future, no matter which one they are, basically emphasize forbearance and humility, emphasize finding problems from oneself in advance, emphasize that each individual is small, and emphasize that oneself has karma or sin......
Anyway, everyone is born with sin, so now whether it is a big aspect, whether it is bullied, exploited, or a small aspect, the family is scratched and scolded by the husband and wife, it is all karma and sin, and it is all deserved, just endure it.
Religions that emphasize the use of drastic measures and the need to return blood for a tooth for a tooth at every turn have often become the targets of national governments that have spared no effort to eradicate them by violent means.
If a religion can help the ruling class maintain social stability, the ruling class can tolerate it, regardless of whether the religion believes in the big-headed god or the small-headed Buddha, but if the religion has destroyed social harmony and has a tendency to turmoil, then even if it believes in the so-called god of the gods and the Buddha of a thousand Buddhas, it is still not ambiguous at all.
The reality is often like this, and it is unbearable to look at it directly.
Since Fei Qian is now a ruler, he naturally thinks from the perspective of a ruler, and compassion can only be provided by the additional non-essential derivatives that can be provided on the premise of ensuring the interests of himself and the political groups gathered around him.
If the interests of his own political group cannot be guaranteed, then who will be selflessly willing to gather around him and drink the northwest wind every day?
If Fei Qian can't give more and greater benefits to the political group that follows him, then how can he attract more people to join in the process of changing the society of the Han Dynasty?
Therefore, sacrificing the interests of some grassroots people in exchange for a better future, while at the same time paralyzing the nerves of the exploited at the grassroots level and alleviating their suffering in the process of sacrifice is a kind of compassion for political leaders.
At the beginning of the birth of religion, it was no longer possible to examine, but we can take a look at the process of China's own religious experience, and those who are interested can find some clues.
The early religion of China, that is, Taoism, was the first to be formed, the first to develop, and the first to flourish. Confucianism was after the Han Dynasty; Buddhism already existed in the Han Dynasty, but flourished in the Northern and Southern Dynasties; Western sects such as Christianity already had a large number of missionaries during the Song Dynasty, but they only generally emerged after the Opium War......
The development of Taoism is because the Han Dynasty needed Huang Lao's thoughts, no longer wars, and recuperation......
The continuation of Confucianism is due to the fact that it has been successfully tied to the ruling class and provided the ruling class with the tools for talent, so although it is not obvious, it is the most durable......
Buddhism flourished because of the social turmoil and extreme suffering of the people during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, which could only make people shift from the reality of suffering in front of them to the unverifiable happiness of the afterlife......
As for the introduction of Western sects such as Christianity, it has changed from being hindered to becoming prosperous, but in fact, it has some disgraceful colors that are humiliating to the Chinese people, so those who are interested may wish to study and study on their own......
Regardless of the religion, the doctrine on the surface is to make people turn evil to good, of course, whether it can be done behind the scenes, how many people can do it, and even whether their own clergy can do it, this is a matter of opinion. Since ancient times, it has been common for scammers to pretend to be clergy, or for clergy to work part-time as scammers.
However, there may be problems of one kind or another among religious systems and people, but while religion spreads doctrines, it is also spreading civilization and knowledge (which may be pseudo-knowledge, but at least it is also a kind of cultural promotion). And among those believers, many believers with great personalities and good hearts often play a powerful role model and a positive effect on the development of the whole society.
Therefore, in any case, today's Fei Qian still feels that he urgently needs a religion at the moment, a religion that can suppress civilization externally and guide thinking internally at the spiritual level, but at present, whether it is the existing primitive Taoism, Buddhism in the embryonic state, or Confucianism, which has just begun to flourish, it seems that it is not fully competent......
