47 Mid-Levels Speech

Abu had previously been open to issues of religious belief.

As he said yesterday, no matter what kind of sect it is, as long as it can lead people to goodness, can give people peace of mind and comfort, and does not force or entice others to join the religion, then as long as you want to, then write it, it doesn't matter.

But he forgot that throughout the ages, thousands of years of history, there have been wars, killings, and persecutions that have been caused by religious differences.

The shadow of religion is certainly indispensable in the place where the heavy historical materials are opened, and many seeds of genius who dare to challenge the darkness of ignorance and spread knowledge and light have also been annihilated.

Even in later generations, when technology had reached a fairly advanced level, religious conflicts and strife still existed.

Thousands of years of accumulated grievances and right and wrong have caused various sects to insist on their own words when dealing with disputes, just like the ordinary people in the market during quarrels.

The entanglement between them is like a trivial matter between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and it is impossible to sort out the clue.

The doctrines and monotheism of some religions have led many believers to fall into a kind of either/or proposition, and at the same time, some rulers or preachers will, intentionally or unintentionally, induce or amplify this idea: non-self-believers are all pagans; Those who believe in me will prosper, and they will die against me.

As a result, many fanatical believers, even when persecuting and killing those infidels, still self-righteously uphold the noble feelings of eliminating evil and purifying the source; Even killing those closest to them is in their fantasies, and they are sending them into the arms and glory of the Lord God.

Such a paranoid and stubborn believer is undoubtedly the most dangerous existence, such as Li Youde, a low-key and silent person, who would have thought that he would commit a crazy act of killing his wife and daughter, and finally committing suicide?

And the calmness and crazy thoughts revealed in the absolute book he left behind made people feel even more chilling.

If he is really given the opportunity, he may take everyone in the valley on the road for what he thinks is a great ideal!

In his view, he was doing a great work, to bring all men into the kingdom of heaven and eternal life. And in the eyes of most others, he is an out-and-out, cold-blooded executioner.

It is undoubtedly crazy and evil to do such a crazy thing for the sake of a little similarity and difference in concept, for some difference in doctrine.

I wonder if there are still such dangerous people among the people living in the valley now?

Abu stabilized his mood and wiped his eyes vigorously before turning back to Bai Boda and saying, "Uncle here to help with the cooking, now I feel a little messy, I want to go back and think about it." ”

In fact, he just subconsciously wanted to escape from that small, curled up body. As long as he saw Li Bao'er's cold and stiff body, his heart would swell with unforgivable self-blame and irrepressible anger.

Bai Boda replied: "Don't worry, sir, I'll handle it here, you go back first!" ”

Abu's head was groggy as he walked mechanically into the street. When people on the road greeted him, he just waved his hand stiffly or nodded.

Most people already know what happened here, after all, the basin is so big and there are so many people here.

The festival was originally peaceful and peaceful, but it was shrouded in an atmosphere of sadness, fear, and resentment.

When he arrived at the door of his house, Abu saw Yun Niang holding Wu Ye's hand and waiting for him at the door.

Although Wu Ye was still a child, he also realized what was happening, and his eyes were red from crying. Seeing Abu coming back, he ran closer, tilted his head, and said with a face full of grievances that he wanted to play with Bao'er.

Abu felt another pang of colic in his heart, and the lovely little girl said no, and it was gone.

But he had to use the hypocritical theory of religion to comfort Wu Ye: Bao'er has gone to heaven and gone to a world without pain, and there is no way to play with her for the time being.

Wu Ye has always trusted Abu very much, and when he saw him say this, he asked, "Master, can I see Bao'er again in the future?" ”

"Definitely, as long as you study hard and strengthen your exercise, when you grow up, one day, you will see Bao'er again."

"Master, I will study hard, I must study hard!" Wu Ye's little face was unprecedentedly serious.

Touching Wu Ye's head, Abu said to Yun Niang: "I'll go and rest first, I want to think about something." Then he went into the house, threw himself on the collapse, and turned his back to the sky, thinking about his thoughts.

Yun Niang could understand his troubled mood, so she pulled Wu Ye and prepared all kinds of gadgets to make him happy.

Abu closed his eyes and pondered his next thoughts, the main question was whether there were any such diehard believers in the valley, and if so, how many?

Just like Li Youde, he didn't have this tendency before, could it be that his speech yesterday stimulated him?

Is it necessary to conduct a thorough investigation, rectification, and eradication from house to house, and what is the difference between this and religious persecution?

If left unchecked, will similar problems arise again?

Abu's mind was torn to war with thoughts and plans, leaving him feeling haggard and exhausted.

In the afternoon, when the sun turned west, in addition to the necessary vigilance and duty forces, all the old and young gathered together to bid farewell to the two large and one small and three thin coffins in front of them.

People silently followed behind the coffin carried by a few young and strong young men, silently moved, silently climbed halfway up the hill, silently watched the coffin be buried, and silently saw the loess gradually uplifted.

Li Youde's family of three was buried together in the middle of the mountainside, in front of the raised tomb, and a small pine tree was planted.

Abu looked at the lonely grave, and then looked at the old and young people beside him who were looking at him, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

In the invasion of natural disasters, the world is already the head of purgatory, and he believes that as long as he can bring everyone to survive, let everyone be fed and clothed, and let everyone live happily together, it is a great success.

Later, he wanted to popularize science and technology, take the lead in industrial construction, and improve everyone's quality of life.

But now he has discovered that human beings, as a group living in groups, have spiritual needs in addition to material needs.

As a product of social development, religion originally appeared with the purpose of comforting people's souls, and to a certain extent, it satisfied the needs of people's spiritual life.

As for how to be inclusive and how to develop management, these are all questions to be considered and answered. He knew he had to say something now, or else the newly established paradise would be in danger of falling apart.

Abu stood on a big rock, bowed deeply to the tomb and to everyone, and said: "First of all, I am sorry to Li Youde's family, I should bear some responsibility for such a tragedy. ”

When the crowd heard Abu say this, they all stirred: "Sir, don't say that, what does this have to do with Sir." ”

"Sir, don't blame yourself too much, Li Youde's methods are cruel and hidden too deeply, it's just a pity that he has such a good daughter-in-law and child."

"This is because Li Youde has been so deeply bewitched by the cult that it is difficult to return."

Abu waved his hand: "Let's calm down for a while, there is a certain truth in saying that I am responsible, at least I have revealed the hidden contradictions in advance."

Li Youde said it very clearly, and he did not agree with the scientific views I advocated.

We can also call science a religion, but its doctrine is to seek truth from facts and bring forth the new.

In the future, you will slowly understand that the development of science is in a ladder or spiral.

At a certain stage or level, some knowledge is correct, but beyond this level, some statements may lose their meaning. This is mainly because our understanding of the world is one-sided and progressive, and we cannot gain insight into the origin of the world at once.

However, in the process of development, science is always updating and iterating, and it will not keep some old concepts and stay put.

A religion that can keep pace with the times and constantly innovate is a good religion, and the most terrible thing about religious doctrine is that it is stubborn and self-contained.

After all, religion has to adapt to the new standard of living and to the new development. ”

With a sigh of relief, Abu continued: "I also thought about it a lot today, and I was really worried about whether there was an existence like Li Youde among so many of us.

We have found this place of peace and well, and we may completely collapse or die because of one or two such people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are black sheep.

I have also thought of some methods, such as mobilizing everyone, conducting investigation and rectification, exposing and reporting, completely finding out these people, and completely suppressing and eliminating them.

But then I thought about it, and I gave up on such an idea. If such a person is really found, what should we do? Expulsion? Kill directly? How is this different from religious persecution to eliminate dissidents?

Now that the dead are gone, we don't have to pursue these things, and we continue to support the development of religions as we have done in the past.

After all, faith that can bring peace and tranquility to people is precious to a person's heart.

But there is a premise here, and that is that no violent means can be used, and no acts of mutilation or self-harm can be committed.

No matter how different the doctrines of the faiths are, no matter how different the philosophies are, everyone can sit down and talk slowly.

For example, the Buddha said that he could benefit all beings, and God said that he could save the sinful people. Then let's compare and see who saves the most toil, and who can make more people live a good life. ”

Ab paused for a moment and looked at the crowd below. Most people listened attentively, and a few people moved slightly, and he continued: "If some people can't argue, get angry, and are ready to use force to solve the problem, then sorry, this is crossing the line.

If you cross the line, you will be attacked, and whoever makes the first move, we will strike at and clean up whoever you want.

We need to set up an organization to deal with all kinds of violence. The people in the organization, we must screen and strictly control them at all levels, and they must have super force, firm beliefs, and selfless fairness.

We will also do our best to equip them with super weapons, make careful plans, and conduct rigorous training.

Remember, being part of this organization is not only a great honor, but also a great responsibility. ”

Finally, Abu said: "There is a great man who said that if we do not occupy the cultural and ideological front, the enemy will occupy it. This sentence is very true, since we believe in science, we must promote science.

We should first unify our thinking, because no matter how advanced science and technology and how developed industry is, we cannot save a person's mind.

We have a discipline called physics, which reveals how everything works in the universe.

In fact, there is another discipline that can be used to explain and dissect the whole world, and it can guide us in the direction of progress.

When we do things, we can use its ideas and concepts to provide us with theoretical guidance.

In the future, I will personally explain this course to you, by the way, this subject is called philosophy. ”

A long, long time later, a scholar who devoted himself to the study of history made a special trip to this valley.

She traveled to all the places in the basin, admired all the historical sites, and she was always attentive, and was surprised to find that there was only one tomb in the entire basin.

The tomb sits alone halfway up the mountain, under a stout pine tree.

She was thrilled to discover a new continent and was ready to study it as a subject.

After she went back, she read a lot of materials, including the history of the Mid-Levels, the history of the Heavenly Sword, the history of philosophical development, and so on.

The history of each field is sprinkled with a sea of smoke, full of all kinds of insights and beautiful words.

But not a single person mentioned the question of why there was only one tomb in the entire basin.

The answer is actually very simple, because Abu later told others that burial is too wood-intensive, too land-intensive, and too aesthetically pleasing.

Therefore, after the death of people, it was changed to cremation.

A handful of ashes, dissipated with the wind, the deceased and the vast sky, as well as the land of life, are intimately integrated.
