Chapter 38: Atheism

This chapter is subtitled: Economics for Atheists

……………………

"Don't add entities if you don't have to!"

Occam's razor rule is naturally very compulsive, and it tastes even better with Latin!

Absolutely and what "demands freedom from people other than destined to be slaves." "What" free is the most expensive especially sex. ", what "ugly pussy has no youth." "It has the same effect on people as a morning bell and a dusk drum.

CAPTAIN ARNOLD BLURTED OUT: "IT TURNS OUT THAT MR. YUAN IS AN ATHÉEIST......"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the three officers showed strange looks.

In fact, anyone who knows anything about the United States knows that the "city on a hill" is a religious, secular state. Well, on the other hand, there is no problem, the "Chosen One" is a secular religious state.

In the eyes of Americans at this time, atheists were probably a little more terrible than communists.

Incredibly, until 1969, libraries in the United States generally did not have atheists writing about atheism, and the Library of Congress had only 32 books on atheism in English, 26 of which were refuting atheism.

The first time the U.S. news media allowed atheists to preach their faith was in 1946, when a World War I veteran named Robert Harold Scott, after five years of hard work and approval from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), finally got the opportunity to preach his atheist views on a half-hour program on a San Francisco radio station (KQ), which shocked the nation. The U.S. Congress investigated the FCC for this and held a seven-day hearing.

Later the famous actor Marlon? When Brando testified in court, he refused to swear to God on the grounds that he was an atheist, which was another sensation. At that time, Americans were all on the moon.

In short, even a hundred years from now, it will take a little courage for the self-proclaimed atheists in the United States, let alone the America of 1921.

Major Cao Linsheng immediately made a round and said, "Captain, you have misunderstood. MOST OF OUR Chinese ARE PANTHEISTS, AND I THINK IT'S QUITE POSSIBLE THAT LIBERAL SCHOLARS LIKE NEO ARE AS DEIST AS Voltaire, Rousseau, and Montesquieu......"

"No, no, no......" our Master Yuan said in complete disregard of Major Cao's kindness, shaking his head like a rattle, "I am neither a pantheist nor a deist. And I'm not an agnostic without religion, I'm just ......"

“EXPLICTATHEIST!”

Hearing Yuan Yanqian so categorically admit that he was a "strong atheist", that is, a person who not only had no religious beliefs but also did not believe in the existence of gods at all, the expressions of the three officers became even more subtle.

But the other two didn't matter, our Master Yuan focused all his attention on Major Patton, so he could see that this guy seemed to be relieved.

It seems that the "historical" account is correct, and it is quite possible that George Smith Barton Jr. was a less committed atheist.

He himself said that he had three "shortcomings", the first was wealthy, and the second was that he loved to be in the limelight...... Well, my Majesty Trump and my national husband have something to say. The third is ungodliness to God.

The so-called "unpiety" in these years is actually not very believing.

It was also since he that Sunday sermons in the U.S. military were limited to 15 minutes. Moreover, he complained about the military chaplain system, privately calling it a "political commissar sent by God".

These representations in Patton's resume led Master Yuan to believe that he was in fact a hidden atheist, perhaps less determined and a little hesitant, but definitely problematic in matters of faith.

"Gentlemen, your heads." At this moment, the waiters began to serve the food.

Oh, now is really worthy of the words "railway era".

When Yuan Yanqian saw this, he sighed in his heart. Not to mention the dishes, this tableware is really delicate enough, the plates are all high-grade porcelain, and the bottom of the plate depicts the pattern of Pennsylvania state flowers-mountain laurels, which looks high-end and atmospheric.

In fact, the level of service of the dining car in the American railroad era is really not inferior to that of ordinary high-end restaurants, and of course the price is exciting enough.

The first dish of Set A ordered by our Master Yuan is foie gras that many people will find fat to be greasy, anyway, as long as there is this broken system, he will not have the trouble of three highs, just open it up and eat it.

Our Master Yuan didn't forget to brainwash others while eating, there was no way, the time to complete the task was too tight.

"It's the first time I know that the food on the train can be so delicious...... Yuan Yanqian sighed in admiration, and said sharply: "Three chiefs, I know what you have to say. Wait, listen to me first. ”

"In fact, in the eyes of us economists, atheism is undoubtedly the most cost-effective option for human beings."

He picked up the Coke next to him, took a sip and smacked his lips and asked, "Major Barton, take the liberty of asking, what is your favorite drink?" ”

"Whiskey."

"Oh, and what about Captain Arnold?"

"Wine bar."

"Lance, what about you?"

"Me, Shaoxing wine."

"Well, I love UJIAPI." Yuan Yanqian added, and continued, "You see, you have also drunk many kinds of wine, so you know which kind of wine you like to drink the most." ”

"So, if you haven't tried many religions, how can you be sure that the religion you are in now is the one that will appeal to you the most?"

Major Patton coughed and said, "Mr. Yuan, I'm afraid religion is not about whether it's right or not, but whether it's right or not, right?" ”

"Da!"

Our Master Yuan deliberately put down his knife and fork, snapped his fingers and said, "That's right, Major Patton, you're right. That's exactly what I'm going to say! ”

"In the same way, if you haven't tried many religions, how can you be sure that your current religion is correct?"

He spread his hands and said, "Three sir, you also know that there are so many religions in this world, and their precepts and teachings are even more varied, and the most important problem is that they will conflict with each other. ”

"For example, some people don't eat beef, some don't let people eat pork, some don't let people eat dog meat, and some don't let people eat fish...... Some simply don't let people eat meat. So what do we do? Are they all going vegan? ”

That's right, Westerners also eat dog meat, dog meat, dog meat!

Until the twenty-first century, the Germans were making dog meat sausages; The Swiss make jerky and cured meat from dogs and cats because they believe it cures coughs; The French have a famous dish - stuffed milk dog, which you can eat in Paris if you are lucky; Needless to say, in Australia's wild dog plagues, they heroically roast them whole on a charcoal fire.

"Well, in fact, there are risks in eating only vegetarian dishes, there are five meats in Buddhism, and you can't even eat garlic."

………………

Murong had only recently discovered that Mustache was not a vegetarian, on the contrary, he was a person who hated vegetarianism. I'll describe this in detail when he appears.
