Chapter 39: Koreans in the Sixteenth Century
On the scorched land, the black-clad god was strolling, and he said casuallyβ
"Double-check if there is anything alive around, if there is, it is definitely not human, you are welcome, just poke them to death with your flag."
ββ¦β¦β
The Dragon Witch with the Cursed Banner followed, surveying the scorching scorched earth around her, and though she didn't respond, her eyes showing a distinctly complicated look.
This dark scorched earth was the center of Catholicism in the world, the seat of the Holy See headed by the Pope, and even in later generations it was the center of faith for one-sixth of the world's population.
Even in China, this religious circle has laid quite a solid foundation -
Mu Xiu remembers very well that in the 21st century, it seems to have more than 7 million believers in China. However, there are still nearly 9 million believers in Chinese Catholicism who have sworn allegiance to the Holy See, and they are the Catholic Church of China, commonly known as the Loyal Church.
In this way, the combined number of believers in China for Catholicism and Chinese Catholicism is tens of millions. And those who can be counted in this way are generally more devout believers.
The vast majority of them, if not to say that they are dedicated to God, should at least think from the bottom of their hearts that Taoism, Buddhism, or so on in their own country are false religions.
After all, it is the largest monotheistic religion in the world, and its essence has already decided everything.
Monotheism is an extremely exclusive and aggressive religion, and the original core doctrine can hardly be concealed as simple and crude, no matter how it is packaged and propagated.
For example, idolatry was forbidden in the Old Testament, which declared that only Yahweh was the only true God, and that there was no god other than Him. Later Judaism regarded the Gentile gods as messengers sent by God to rule over the Gentile nations, or else they were the embodiment of evil spirits and evil gods.
In the New Testament, idolatry refers to the worship of gods other than the one true God, and the use of statues is characteristic of the Gentiles. Idols are "nothing," they have no real existence, they are just things that are self-satisfying created by sinful people.
Constant packaging and beautification, without radical reform of its core doctrine, has resulted in a logical conflict and self-justification in the basic doctrine.
On the one hand, it teaches believers to "love your neighbor as yourself," but on the other hand, it rejects different faiths and exterminates heretics and atheists.
It is clear that one of God's "mercy endures forever," but he keeps counting Jehovah's murderous deeds. If you really list it, this one is probably the supreme devil named God.
- Basically, it can be said that if there is a war of faith, this religion will definitely bear the brunt of the mortal enemy, and there is no room for the slightest hand.
The recorded history of the world shows that the total number of murders and robberies committed by adherents of various religions and doctrines is less than that of Christians.
Because of their different religious beliefs, the Crusaders went on three crusades, killing frantically in the name of God's power.
Because of their different religious beliefs, the first settlers forced the Indians of North and South America to adopt Catholicism, and the unbelievers killed and even exterminated the Indians of North and South America.
Because of religious beliefs, the shooting and trafficking of black Africans, the extermination of the indigenous peoples of Oceania, the colonization of Asia and Africa, the unequal distribution of the spoils of two world wars, and the "spread" of democracy with the most modern weapons throughout the world into the twenty-first century.
This is still what happened on the normal historical line, that is, in those ordinary worlds, in the dimensions where there are no gods and demons who really exist, because of the normal progress of the world line.
And if it is in a world with a real mythological background, some of the originally ethereal and far-fetched legends may actually become real things that have happened.
And the aggressiveness of Catholicism will therefore only be stronger, not weaker. For example, the most famous is the legendary "Ten Plagues of Egypt" -
The plague of blood, the plague of frogs, the plague of lice, the plague of flies, the plague of animals, the plague of bubbles, the plague of hail, the plague of locusts, the plague of darkness, the plague of the firstborn, God used these ten plagues to descend on the land of Egypt.
These great tribulations are more serious each time, not only causing great human suffering, but also the calamity itself is a kind of judgment against the Egyptian gods, and the whole process is a show of God alone.
- This hysterical "pagan god" wreaked havoc on the territory of Egypt, beating the Egyptian gods.
In the words of the Jewish Bible, this is God's desire to demonstrate his righteousness among the Egyptians, to perform his mighty works, and finally to accomplish Israel's purpose of exodus from Egypt.
This made Pharaoh aware of the power of God, and that man's stubbornness and foolishness could not stop God from doing His will......
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"Whoever believes in me has eternal life, but whoever does not believe in me goes to hell."
Looking around, Mu Xiu curled the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a rather wonderful smile.
"Yes, that's it. No wonder they like to judge heretics in the name of God, and it feels so good to judge them as God. β
That's right, that's the truth β man's stubbornness and stupidity can't stop God from doing His will......
"It's really high-sounding, does that show that you're innocent?" Joan of Arc S. Alter only sneered disdainfully.
"What innocent? If you don't have the culture, don't talk nonsense, I call it showing your own righteousness and exerting your own powerful deeds. Mu Xiu gave her a strange look and corrected seriously.
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
"It's shameless." Joan of Arc S. Alter turned his head away, dragged the pitch-black dragon banner in his hand and walked in the other direction.
"Hey! Don't talk nonsense, according to their own teachings, except for their own gods, everything else is evil and false gods, and they are all heretics. I can't judge the right or wrong of this form of thought, but I can act according to their standards......"
Of course, Mu Xiu refused to admit such an unreasonable accusation from the other party.
"At least in this world, the only god who exists is myself."
If, then, according to this established fact, according to their own words, isn't this religion the self-satisfying thing that they, who are full of sin, have made?
"Hmph, whatever, anyway! What's my business! β
Joan of Arc S. Alter just waved his hand without looking back, looking disgusted. Anyway, she has long seen through the bad nature of this guy, and she can only hate herself for not having the ability to resist the other party now.
It's just that denying God is something she likes to see, and in her words, there is nothing more interesting than denying their God before believers.
"Wait, what's your attitude...... Give me some respect for God! The corners of Mu Xiu's mouth twitched slightly.
Rightfully did not answer.
"What a rude person......
Mu Xiu let out a long exhale, turned around and continued to walk forward. His breath perception had already locked on to several abnormal reaction sources, one of which was similar to a lifeform reaction, so he needed to go over and take a look.
In the midst of the ruins in the scorched earth, the boy found an entrance to an underground passage, not knowing whether it was a basement or an underground palace or something.
It was pitch black inside, with some strange smell mixed with the damp, cold air.
"The road to heaven opens the gates of hell...... This should be the place. β
Seeing the strange inscription on one side of the inner passage, Mu Xiu raised his eyebrows, and then walked down the stairs in the darkness. Soon, he noticed a thick layer of charcoal under his feet.
These were once supposed to be sticky creature carpets, one of the hallmarks of the Xeno's Lair. However, the thunder he created single-handedly deliberately strengthened its power, and the damage penetration and energy radiation were particularly strong, and it could effectively kill at a depth of two hundred meters underground.
Therefore, this nest was not spared.
Along the way, the smell of scorching became stronger and stronger, and there were many twisted corpses along the way, both human and alien. There were even dozens of alien eggs in some ovidromy rooms that were directly scorched and penetrated by energy radiation, and all of them were killed on the spot.
As for the corpses of human beings, it is a little difficult to distinguish, but I think there are no more than three categories, the first is the local clergy who are in the same stream as the reincarnation, the second is the sacrifice used to hatch aliens, and the third is naturally the reincarnation itself......
On a roasted charred corpse, a storage ring was snatched out, Mu Xiu stood up again and casually glanced at the mountains of alien corpses scattered around, and then walked towards the end of the darkness.
Luckily, I found out in advance, and if it had been a little later, this group of crazy guys would definitely have been able to create an alien frenzy even more terrifying than Resident Evil.
If the Alien Legion becomes the climate, the next thing is to wreak havoc on the whole world. Mu Xiu felt that he really didn't have the ability to deal with the alien frenzy that spread all over the earth and in the oceans, so he could only kill it in advance.
He doesn't need these variables out of his control β and of course, he doesn't deny that he took the opportunity to eliminate competitors at the same time.
After all, this religion is really too stubborn, and the complications such as delusion and brainwashing are very serious.
For example, the "miracle" that Mu Xiu showed to the whole planet before, the whole world is convinced, and his faith continues to take root all over the world, only there is no movement on the European side.
Because the religion here has adopted a high-pressure policy on this, as long as it finds a "heresy", it will be directly arrested and killed.
Mu Xiu's beliefs have appeared one after another in this region during this period of time, but they have not been able to ignite the prairie is such a reason.
At first, they slandered Musiu as a demagogic demon posing as a god, but later found it to be of little use.
So they tried to revise the doctrine to say that Musiu was a messenger of God, an apostle of God who appeared in this era, and tried to make Musiu a subordinate of their god......
The aggressiveness and exclusivity of this religion are also reflected in the hegemony and extreme narrowness of its teachings.
In the Gospel of Mark it is said: He who believes and is baptized will be saved. and he who does not believe will be condemned.
The Gospel of John also says, "Whoever believes in Him will not be condemned." He who does not believe is condemned because he does not believe in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Especially this passage in the book of Revelation: But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the abomination, the murderer, the fornicator, the sorcerer, the idolater, and all the liars, their share is in the lake of fire and brimstone. This is the second death.
Got it? This is the source of "whoever believes in me will have eternal life, and whoever does not believe in me will go to hell."
"Unbelieving in Christianity" is a "sin" alongside "murder" and "idolatry" in Christian doctrine! It's going to die a second time!
If you don't believe it, you're guilty, if you're not in its system, you're a heretic, and you deserve to die anyway.
Therefore, Mu Xiu and this kind of 16th-century Koreans were originally a life-and-death relationship.
And according to the extremes of the believers of this religion, even if there is no trace of Yahweh God in this world, it will take a generation or two for Mu Xiu to transform those believers.
In the process, there will inevitably be endless conflicts and bloodshed.
Therefore, Mu Xiu decisively took advantage of this opportunity to adopt the solution of extreme force suppression.
