Questions about religion (June)

Thanks to the book friends for the book reviews compiled by Shuifang 03, so that more people can understand the growth process of the Three Kingdoms of Commerce. I would also like to thank you for your affirmation and criticism of this book.

□ A single religion must have a leader, and that is the Pope. The reason why he is called emperor is the cult of personality dictatorship. How to break the dictatorship of religious thought is difficult. On the contrary, there is unity in China's religious dispersion, the abbot of each monastery is the representative of the people's congress, the protector of the country is the chairman, and the doctrine is the synthesis of the discussion of each monastery, and finally collectively referred to as Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. These are unified by an almost philosophical discussion-style correction, to which the monasteries have to travel to defend themselves. The Great Buddha is the Buddha, and Buddhism was introduced to my Middle Earth and changed to Zen Buddhism! This is indeed much less lewd than the Western sects. The film Notre-Dame Cathedral also reflects the facts. Wasted

□ I think it is time to mention the theory of materialism, to distinguish the truth through facts, and to dispel the superstitious idea of divine authority through historical and political research. Wasted

□ [Essence] Explain what others have not done, well, atone for your innocence. The unity of thought is a sign of the birth of a huge nation, and it has opened the spear for the course of future history. In the days 2,000 years ago, it would have been appropriate for you. I'm absolutely up with you. Also, will the Holy See of the monotheistic religion be located in Izumo Castle in the future? Ha! Holy See Izumo...... Sounds good. Small wide

□ [essence] Chinese is a lack of faith, a lack of restraint. There is faith, there is technology, there is strength, and there is an ideal country. Good books, good life. On the water side 03

□ Haha, only the book review section is the real contention! ~ The backwardness of China's feudal period was mainly initiated by the Zhu Xi doctrine in the Ming Dynasty. Zheng He's voyage to the West in the Ming Dynasty shows that China's productive forces were very strong at that time. So a lot of things don't necessarily have to be used in the West. The wind whispers to itself

□ good book, but since the protagonist founded a religion, he has won hearts and minds. And religion must serve politics. Otherwise, it's a mess. And I don't quite understand the author's religious system. as well as operation. I wonder what if your religion is in conflict with Confucianism? The characters in the book should not be too easy to convert, especially the readers. For example, most of the followers of the Taiping Sect are illiterate. I am a loyal book friend of the author, and I would like to make a suggestion here, hoping that the more the book is written, the better it gets. Old man

□ There is no need to create a religion, it is enough to use the doctrines of Confucianism and Taoism in China. First of all, with religion there are always religious fanatics and religious wars. Second, the country that has never seen that ******** is powerful. Third, it was difficult for scholars at that time to accept such a religion. In fact, the doctrine of Confucianism and Taoism is quite suitable for a republican system. The Confucianism I am talking about here is the original Confucianism, not the Confucianism that was distorted by later generations in order to strengthen the emperor's rule. Nangong Tianao

□ Second, a strong monotheistic religion necessarily leads to a theocratic union, or at least religious interference in politics, whereas a democracy must be God to God and Caesar to Caesar, and it is not known how the author can avoid the absolute authority of a single religion. The author knows that there is a separation of powers in the political power, but he has established an authoritarian theocracy, and the purpose and effect are doubtful. Sage Morning Thunder

□ Third, under monotheism, democracy can be born in Europe, but in the Middle East, it is a **** regime that far exceeds that of China's feudal era. Even today, when the closed Chinese people can accept the concept of democracy and republic, the emirates of the Middle East are as good as ever. How can the author guarantee that the promotion of the so-called Unitarian Church of the Father in China will not lead to the Middle East of China? Sage Morning Thunder

□ Fourth, from the perspective of the modern international community, countries that follow a single religion, or the stronger the position of a single religion in society, the more conservative it is. In terms of the historical role of religion, it is often the time when history is pulled behind. By the very nature of religion, both salvation and the afterlife have a paralyzing effect on reality. How does the author avoid this side effect of Heavenly Father's teaching? Sage Morning Thunder

□ Fifth, the glorious period of Chinese history was not before the Han Dynasty, but after the Han Dynasty. The prosperity and advancement of the Tang and Song dynasties are inseparable from China's ideological and cultural eclecticism, and this inclusiveness is also where the soul of the Han Dynasty lies. Monotheistic religions, on the other hand, have a strong sense of exclusivity and inevitably lead to rigidity of thought. Song and Ming theory, mainly Zhu Xi's hypocrite's theory and religion, is precisely because of its strong exclusivity that China is becoming more and more rigid and declining, will the monotheistic religion conceived by the author make China's catastrophe happen a thousand years earlier? Sage Morning Thunder

□ [essence] Later, after thinking about it for a while, I still felt that it was really dangerous to pin China's ideological reform on the monotheistic religion. Personally, I think it is better to mix the ideas of Confucianism, Mo, and Law, and transform the Confucianism of Dong Zhongshu during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so as to make a good criticism and immunity to possible scientific views, which is more in line with practical needs and more reasonable and prudent. Of course, how to write is the author's business, and it is only for the author's reference here. In addition, I would like to ask the author whether he is religious, and if so, I would like to forgive me for offending my faith. Sage Morning Thunder

□ Brother Sage spoke very much, originally I was very disgusted with monotheism, but I couldn't say why, after reading my brother's words, I was stunned! The reason why democracy is still developing in Europe is because Europe is made up of many countries, and the royal power does not leave the country, and not because of monotheism!! Come to think of it, if China were to become a ******** country like the Arabs, it would be a disaster!! Strongly request immediate revision!! sdffd

□ Although I hate Confucianism very much, I also admit that Confucianism is not useless, everyone hates Confucianism for causing the weakness of the Song and Ming dynasties, but no one thinks that there was Confucianism in the prosperous Han and Tang dynasties!! In fact, the really most hateful thing is Cheng Zhu Lixue, who is the real culprit. As for Confucianism, it is still very good after proper transformation! There is no need for a monotheistic religion at all! sdffd

□ [Essence] I think the establishment of religion is a good idea, it can be said that the establishment of the current can greatly restrict China's imperial system, China's feudalism after thousands of years of development, can be said to be deep-rooted, so there is no way for the germ of capitalism to develop in the Chinese mainland, if in the Three Kingdoms period can establish a religious force to fight against the imperial power, and bury the concept of the sanctity of personal property deep in the hearts of the people, then I believe that China will have a great chance to germinate the germ of capitalism early, Change the history of humiliation in the past 100 years Looking back

□ [Essence] Confucianism should be restricted, and the biggest harm of Confucianism is that it hinders the establishment of the country according to law, and the national law cannot limit the imperial power, which will lead to the development of the feudal system in the direction of centralization

□ [Essence] I want to say that the author's creation of a monotheistic religion should have advantages and disadvantages, but the advantages should be a little more, first of all, after the creation of the religion, the people should be very loyal, so it should be very beneficial to the development of the protagonist, think about Zhang Jiao, that is, the Dunjia Heavenly Book of the Nanhua Old Immortal who relied on nothing, like Jianghu Langzhong, he made a Yellow Turban Uprising of millions of people. I think the protagonist should make good use of it. I agree with Brother Sage about the disadvantages, but there should be no hindrance in the short term, everyone imagines that during the Three Kingdoms period and the later Wuhu Rebellion, the Han people were severely hit, so I think it should be before this incident, strengthen the Han people, and at the same time give those ethnic minorities a little bit of power. xwx00831

□ Religion could not replace the centralized form of government in China, with its historian culture and scholar community, and could only be used as a tool to serve politics. Zihua

□ [Top] [Essence] I read Brother Chihu's reply, but I still haven't been able to fully resolve my doubts. Any view that expects to solve the problem of the mind once and for all is unrealistic. Brother Tiger said that there will be a memorandum of understanding between religion and secular in the future episode, but this kind of memorandum may only be valid in the hands of one generation, and the protagonist's generation, if it has not been corrupted by power (this is very difficult, such as Li Shimin, * and other eloquent people can hardly lose themselves in the face of power), may abide by this understanding, but after one generation, after two generations, this understanding will inevitably break. In addition, the nature of religion determines that any religion has a narcotic effect, and the shortcomings of the Tao and Buddha mentioned by Brother Hu should be the common defects of all sects. Sage Morning Thunder

□ [Pinned] [Essence] As for the role of Confucianism in Chinese history, I also have different views from Brother Hu. China's unique and charming traditional culture is closely related to Confucian thought. The Confucian idea of great unification allowed China to maintain a unified and relatively peaceful central power in most eras in history, while the same period in Europe was divided and warn, and the most typical period of the city-state republic of the Tiger Brothers, during the ancient Greek period, Athens and Sparta were also constantly fighting, and were wiped out by foreigners in internal friction. Confucius's benevolence and Mencius's righteousness, these two are the core content of Confucianism, and I personally think that this is quite in line with the requirements of both in dealing with people and things, and in governing the country, and Confucianism is not useless. Sage Morning Thunder

□ [Top] [Essence] Naturally, Confucianism despises industry and commerce, and advocates monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons, and sons in order to meet the needs of rule, these are its dross, and the tiger brother can completely abandon these contents, in fact, these chronic diseases of Confucianism in the Three Kingdoms period are not serious, and the protagonist can completely transform them from the perspective of later generations. Personally, I think this is far more practical than starting a new religion. However, the author is the god of the work, and Brother Tiger has his own discretion to deal with it, so there is no need to be confused by my nonsense. Sage Morning Thunder

□ I am afraid that the religious problem is not so easy to solve, a single sect is somewhat unrealistic and leaves a huge hidden danger for future generations, maybe a certain monarch will also engage in some kind of dictatorship such as the divine right of kings in a few hundred years, in short, whoever masters this sect will have the ability to manipulate the world, religion is used to paralyze and manipulate the people, with the original intention of the brothers, I think it is not good to start a party without relying on religion? For example, it is called the Liberal Party, the Democratic Party and the like (just a suggestion, the name may be inappropriate), is this more in line with the idea that the protagonist comes from the future, and from the contemporary situation, in developed countries and even in China, the religion of modern society has no party to play an obvious role, and the world's survival of the fittest for thousands of years should not be used as a reference to Shangguan Fenglei

□ [Essence] This view of the West, which was gradually formed after the Renaissance, was formed in the course of a long struggle and integration with the teachings of Christianity. In fact, the idea of protecting private property and equality before the law was embodied in the laws of ancient China, and the ancient Chinese society was relatively speaking, at least on the surface, more equal, the so-called "Chao is Tian Shelang, and the twilight is ascending to the Tianzi Hall", and those in high positions in China often use administrative power to bend the law for personal gain to undermine this right of the people, which is also common in the West. Up-limit board

□ [Essence] Confucianism's doctrine of statecraft as a ruler has indeed undergone an evolution from a school to a sect, and the essence of Confucius's doctrine has gradually been replaced by dross. I think that the Confucian Three Principles and Five Constants and Cheng Zhu Lixue are the real reasons for China's real backwardness in ideology and ********, and I am afraid that the slogan of smashing the Confucian family shop during the May Fourth period may also stem from this. Chinese literati are not equal to intellectuals, so it is necessary to run comprehensive schools. Of course, the use of the imperial examination to promote the status of natural science disciplines is a lifesaver. In addition to political and ideological reasons, China's backwardness in modern times is also an important reason for the backwardness of natural sciences and the lack of entry of businessmen, which have also been confirmed by the old democratic revolution. Because the development of commodities is based on equal exchange. Zhengda carpenter

□ is also full of expectations, thinking that it is a magic weapon to avoid the cyclical rate, but in fact it is... I think the biggest difference between China's polytheism and the Western church is not polytheism and monotheism, but the difference between democracy and **** ideology conceived in it. The ideas of equality and democracy in Western religions were gradually formed after a long struggle, and of course experienced the darkness of the Middle Ages and the centuries-long religious wars. Therefore, it is hoped that the author will not overemphasize the progressive significance of religion. However, if the author's purpose is to achieve the political and economic goals of the protagonist as soon as possible, religion is indeed good. Big carpenter

□ There is both a unity and a difference between religion and belief, and history has proven that rulers used religion to dominate the people. Of course, religion can also motivate people to rebel against their rulers. If religion is used to restrain the ruling class, I am afraid it is the author's wishful thinking. Don't forget Chairman Mao's ********** carpenter in Yan'an

□ saw the influence of Confucianism on China's backwardness over the past two hundred years, but more importantly, we must see the positive role of Confucianism in China's two thousand years of leading the trend of world civilization, Confucianism is definitely not just dross as it is criticized now, and now there is a tendency to think that when it comes to Western culture, we instinctively feel that our previous culture is backward and inferior to others, so the most important thing that the saviors who went back to ancient times did was to introduce Western culture to China early Galactic heroes

□ In fact, this is a big mistake, all the ideas that have existed in the world can be found in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China, in contrast, although there is no system like the current one, but compared with the Enlightenment thought of the 18th century, and the so-called ancient Roman and ancient Athenian civilization, it is definitely more mature and profound, but these schools of thought eventually declined, and Confucianism was able to win in the end, the accidental factor is indeed great, but it is undeniable that it is one of the best schools of the Galactic Heroes

□ While Confucius emphasized "benevolence", Mencius emphasized "righteousness", don't forget the ancient proverb in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty: "The Son of Heaven breaks the law, the same as the common people". I don't know where you said about "governing the country by virtue" comes from? What are the foundations of "governing the country by virtue"? You say that "only the law, and the law is supreme", and when Western countries blatantly trample on international law, how can this supremacy begin? Say, "I want to use religion to govern people's hearts, to restrain people's morality, and to use law to regulate people's behavior." In this way, even religion is put on the haunt. What is the difference between this and ancient Chinese Confucianism, which restricts people's morality and uses punishment to restrain people's behavioral norms? It's not that you don't change the soup or the medicine, aren't you contradicting yourself? Zihua

□ [Essence] There are too many disadvantages of the separation of church and state, once the whole people believe in religion, the clerical will inevitably seek to seek benefits for the church through secular power, and the secular power under the city-state republic system is relatively dispersed, which will inevitably lead to ******** results in the end; Moreover, if the world cannot be unified in a short period of time, and the city-states and republics develop again, I am afraid that there will be a loose China that only uses words to maintain the ties of civilization. wldio001

□ Everyone knows that the traditional thought in Asia is Confucianism, and it was during the Han Dynasty that Confucianism became orthodox, and Japan also learned from it! But Confucianism at this time played a word game that hurt China for thousands of years! That is to equate the imperial power with the society, and the emperor with the state. The king is the minister, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. Until the Song Dynasty, wasn't Yue Fei's suicide the role of this kind of loyal monarch thinking? Can the emperor ensure that his descendants will always understand the truth that the people are important and the king is light? Besides, the Japanese imperial power has really remained unchanged for thousands of years? Please take a good look at Japanese history, Japan's Warring States is no different from hooligans fighting in groups, and the emperor can't even control hooligans, so what is the imperial power? Is this also called loyalty? Martial maniac

□ [Essence] In fact, there has been no real religion in China since ancient times. The most admired thing by Chinese is themselves, and the religion of Chinese is "ancestor worship". As the author said: Those who believe in Buddhism engage in massacres, and those who believe in Taoism deceive people. Hehe, "there are gods three feet above the ground", who believes. In fact, the Chinese are the least religious people, and all religions, they can dig out the part they need, and then completely abandon the part they don't need. piano

□ [Essence] Or maybe this is the reason for Confucianism, in fact, it can be said that China has long been the world of Confucianism, and it was originally a "monotheistic religion". It has its own Bible: the Analects, and its own sage Confucius. There is an Inquisition "Ancestral Hall" and a strict system of "Three Principles and Five Constants", including a strong sense of exclusivity. Like many religions in the world, he did it himself, ********, the "Son of Heaven". Therefore, it has a stronger vitality than the religions of Europe. That is why a religious revolution can break out in Europe, while we have to wait for someone else to invade. Because we have always lived in the "black age". piano

□ [Essence] Actually, if you look at Chinese mythology, you can see that Chinese don't believe in gods at all. The gods of the Chinese are all made of people (remember the list of gods?). )。 Therefore, the fear of God in Chinese comes from the worship of power (including spiritual power), not from faith. So, it was decided that spreading religion is very rebellious, hehe. Therefore, to spread "monotheism" under such soil, does the author think about it? piano

The religion of □ Chinese is Confucianism, and what Confucianism talks about is actually people's reflection and experience of social practice, so in a sense, the god of Chinese is himself, Chinese internalizes faith, while foreigners externalize their beliefs, Chinese sense heaven and earth from the heart, and foreigners feel from the outside to the inside. Foreigners are wrong to say that Chinese have no faith. Deep sea fascination

□ [Essence] But the West has the evils of the West, God is the greatest, and he wants people to give everything for God, in the name of God! The people believe it! That is, it will develop to the point of threatening the king's power, but China has the thinking framework of the prince of heaven and earth because of Confucianism in this regard, the emperor is the son of heaven, in fact, the meaning of the son of heaven is also a religious meaning, the son of heaven, the spokesman of heaven on earth: the emperor, so if you apply Western religion to China, it will develop into an emperor and also serve as the pope! And this is a fantasy novel, of course, it can jump out of the frame and integrate the advantages of East and West, right? The creation of a new religion requires people to seek progress in their thinking, but only provides spiritual comfort, whether it is one god or many gods, but does not require people to make sacrifices to the true God, only provides spiritual stability, and there will be no problem of excessive religious power! Provided for the author's reference Ronin Swordsman

□ [Essence] Continued, the three countries of commerce, the reason is obvious, right? Why do you choose the Western religious way of thinking, where your employees feel that they can be satisfied with working 5 hours a day, so what do they do with so much money? If I don't live with me and die, I don't know if God will punish me, can I develop a business in this way of thinking? He doesn't even want to make money, and you're sending it to him, he's too much, right? Because God says, Be religious! Be diligent! Ask for nothing! In order to be able to go to heaven (become an immortal) after death! No matter how much money he has, he can't spend it! Extravagance is incompatible with the spirit of religion, which means that you can go to hell and cannot get spiritual salvation from religion, and society should not progress under such a religious spirit, right? Because people simply don't have the motivation to compete to keep up with the Ronin Swordsman

□ (It's strange that I didn't see it after I posted one!) I read the author's discussion with netizens about religion, China's Buddhism and Taoism in the individual to become an immortal Buddha (monk and Taoist), in the society and all religions have the same role of spiritual stability, in the requirements of the Buddha said that color is emptiness, emptiness is color; Taoism is pure and quiet, Western religion I know whether it is Christ or Allah is only to ask people to believe in the true God, for God to pay everything, this is the biggest difference, some netizens said that monotheism will lead to excessive religious power, this is true in the West, because everyone has to give everything for God, give the best to God, and his advantage is only that unlike Chinese religious dignitaries to lower their desires and reduce disputes, I think this is the reason why the author chose Western religions, right? Ronin Swordsman

□ China does not have an enterprising spirit1 because of Confucianism, Confucianism as a norm for life is still very good, the fault is that it is used by the rulers, Confucianism has no role in economic and political affairs2 The civilization around China is too far from China, they all learn from China, China cannot learn from other countries, and when it can communicate, it has been ossified3 The fool's policy of the country 4 The anti-business system 5 Closed off the country 6 There is no martial spirit and is tied by Confucianism Feihu 74
