Chapter 593: The So-Called Religion

Riding the undead war horse galloping on the forest path, Feng Longde didn't expect that Todd's mercenary captain would send several mercenaries with the identity of a former hunter to follow him, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care: Todd's understanding of the speed of riding horses in the forest of heavy cavalry was not wrong, he just didn't know that what Feng Longde was riding was not an ordinary heavy war horse, but an undead war horse that had greatly increased in all aspects after reincarnation, although the speed of travel in the forest environment would be affected to a certain extent, but it was also much faster than the travel speed of ordinary heavy war horses in the forest environmentWith those former Orion mercenaries who are relatively familiar with the forest environment and have a limited speed of traveling through the woodland faster than the vast majority of ordinary people, there is no need to keep up with his speed at all.

"Alone against almost fifty Church Knights and Church Soldiers who are generally equipped with full-body plate armor and plate armor, even if I am a dragon spirit prototype, the basic abilities of the Ron Virus can allow me to deal with a large group of ordinary human opponents without falling behind, but it is better to be cautious......" Holding the reins in his left hand to control the direction and overall speed of the undead warhorse, Feng Longde was thinking about things while his right hand continued to retract his five fingers slightly, so that he could adjust to the state of being able to firmly grasp the handle of the weapon at any time, "Let's see if we can solve it peacefully, although this possibility is very small...... But if you come up and start fighting without saying a word, there is no possibility of even that, anyway, it is better to fight after the talk than to fight directly, and it is not too late to slaughter them or capture them if they can't talk......"

Even though he was once a devout Catholic, in this case, Feng Longde had no worries or psychological burdens about the situation that he was about to fight with the knights and soldiers of the Church: not to mention "The Wolf and the Spices" Feng Longde, who is quite familiar with the history and related doctrines of the world's major religions, knows very well that there is no essential difference between armed fanatics and terrorists in a state of extreme religious fanaticism, you must know that almost all the terrorists who are now raging in the outside world are basically Sunni extreme fanatics, which shows the terrible degree and irrationality of religious fanatics; in addition, Feng Longde is already a god in a senseAlthough it has not yet reached the soul level of the true immortal king of the soul of mourning and has an extremely wide range of sources of faith, through a deep soul connection, all the members of the Teutonic deceased in the Teutonic camp, The undead laborers, as well as the Teutonic human soldiers and human workers, can dedicate small but stable amounts of soul energy or faith yuan power to him all the time, so that his soul heart is slowly increasing in strength and structure every day, constantly approaching a higher soul level, and the difference in position and identity makes him naturally not have much mercy to believers of other faiths in some situations - not cruel, just what kind of method to do the right thing under what circumstances.

"Speaking of which...... As a minority in the Muslim world, the Shiites in Islam have always been suppressed by the orthodox Sunnis, and historically they have been more radical and united than the Sunnis in terms of beliefs and organizations...... "While holding the reins in both hands and driving the immortal war horse through the woodland as fast as possible, Feng Longde thought of something about religion and the outside world in passing," Interestingly, however, in the modern era, almost all of the most famous terrorist organizations in these years are Sunnis, as evidenced by al-Qaeda and ISIS...... Oh, remember, the basic doctrine of Sunni is that the Prophet Muhammad said that he himself was a sealed prophet, and there was no prophet after him, and that what he said was collected into the Qur'an, which is the absolute truth of Allah's revelation, which is not easy for all ages, cannot change a word, and applies to any Muslim in any place at any time;

While the Shiites have largely acknowledged this, they have an additional loophole patch, which is that their imams can 'create' rights to decide unresolved issues...... In the eyes of the Shiites, the Imam is far less authoritative than the Prophet Muhammad, but he is able to make many creative doctrinal interpretations in response to the changing times and create new teachings in response to the changes of the times...... In fact, to put it bluntly, Shiites need to follow a living authority on the Shariah, and the result is that to a considerable extent, the problem of rigid isolation that prevails in Islam has been solved, and Shiites have brought fresh vitality to the times...... And that's not all

They are usually the leaders of the Shi'a sect, the representatives of the collective interests, and they will consider the gains and losses, the influences and weigh them when they have the concerns of practical interests, so they avoid the extreme situation of the Sunni Wahhabi sect of Islam where everyone interprets the scriptures as they want, completely ignoring the collective interests and gains and losses, and only thinking about maintaining the so-called orthodoxy and going to paradise after death, which leads to Shiism

The religious tolerance and modernization of the times are far greater than those of the Sunnis, and the Islamic countries, which are strong in terms of comprehensive national strength and relatively wealthy, basically implement enlightened religious beliefs and are as secularized as possible, while the Sunnis can only rely as much as possible on the social environment before the fifteenth century, and the further the current era goes, the more backward and closed they become, because no matter how individual believers in the Sunnis who are aware of their fundamental problems carry out reforms, they will inevitably be ' The Sunni principle of 'one word cannot be changed' has been put back to its original form, and this extreme situation has been formed......

"Ha, there was a brother in the Iron and Blood Society who was a Shia brother himself, and he didn't even think that the Qur'an and the Sunnah were the most important, because Allah Allah was manifested in the knowledge known as the universal reason, from which the universe flowed out, and it was necessary for the Allah followers to realize the mystery under the revelation of their imams......" Thinking of this, Feng Longde exhaled a breath of turbid air from his mouth slightly, almost completely closed, only the peephole and breathing hole were the same as the outside, and the demonic ring-winged barrel helmet was generally a little stuffy, and only Feng Longde and Yarman and other guard knights would be used to wearing this kind of helmet like a steel can for a long time, while ordinary Teutonic soldiers could only wear a Charrell-style infantry helmet with a cotton chain mail mask, so that they could have the highest possible degree of protection while breathing smoothly instead of feeling stuffy and panicked after a long time," To be honest, I personally think that that guy's kind of concept can be used as a breakthrough in Islamic reform if it goes any further...... In general, Shiites are more flexible and realistic-oriented than Sunnis, and they absorb the fruits of modern civilization better than Sunnis who have always regarded themselves as orthodox but are more rigid and have been more affected by modern civilization...... The Shiites are also relatively allowed to think on their own, and if they further emphasize Allah in each person and at the same time weaken the role of the Imam, then it is equivalent to Protestantism in Christianity, and the real religious reform of Islam is complete...... In the final analysis, duli's ability to think is always the best ability to eliminate ignorance. ”

Thinking about it, Feng Longde remembered that a long time ago, after he had been busy with the daily affairs of the Teutonic camp, he had very accidentally consulted his elder sister Caroline in the soul connection about some questions about the omnipotence of his gods in most religions, and the reply he received from the Nether Demon Sister was as follows:

"As far as the reality is concerned, as long as someone claims to be perfect and has mastered the absolute truth, then he will inevitably fall behind, because no matter what type of intelligent life, and everything in the world, is constantly developing and changing, and a perfect absolute truth is completely impossible and has no chance of developing...... From this point of view, almost all religions that have faith in gods will face the situation of being imprisoned by the perfect absolute truth, which will affect the races, countries, and forces covered by these beliefs, and in the end, not only the believers, but also the corresponding gods, will suffer the corresponding consequences. ”

Caroline's words were very rational and insightful for Feng Longde, who had already known a lot of knowledge at that time, because he knew very well that the mainstream sects of the three major religions in the outside world that still had a very large number of followers were already secularized, and only those religions that kept pace with the times and updated their interpretation of doctrines were more suitable for the current world, and the most flexible, the closest to the world, and the religions that could characterize their doctrines according to their own wishes would be the best. In many cases, for example, Christianity and Islam are inferior to Buddhism and Taoism in their explanations of all things in the world and human beings, but their strength lies in knowing how to use power and force from the very beginning。

No matter what era, what world, what region, and what type of believers, when religion is linked to power and force, there may be any absolutely pure religion, as long as it is an intelligent creature, it is inherently selfish, and once religion and human behavior are involved, it will naturally not be able to stand alone...... These are all things that anyone who knows a little bit about the basic history of the world's religions can understand, but the disputes between these religions have continued to the present, especially after the Internet penetration rate has reached the level of ligature, and junior high school students can chat on the Internet to chat with the club, all kinds of plausible or not at all in line with the logic of normal thinking about religion have taught more and more people, which has also led to a considerable number of people in addition to the lack of faith, there is also a more serious lack of moral concepts and the degree of the bottom line of life。

Believers of all faiths are fond of saying that gods are omnipotent, capable of calculating the past and the future, and calculating causes and effects, but this is not entirely true: such as the undead kings of the Teutonic Empire at their peak or some gods with a wide range of beliefs, they are more perceptive than the vast majority of existence. There is not much special about the wider range of perception and the higher level of perceivability, but because the immortal kings and gods can perceive far more things than the vast majority of ordinary beings, it is like a sense of omnipotence in people, coupled with the fact that religious people and fanatics continue to exaggerate and promote this ability in order to gain more believers, and finally mythologize the gods to that level of too exaggerated...... As far as the actual situation is concerned, the immortal kings and gods can only achieve a certain sense of omnipotence in their own realm that is completely controlled by themselves (in fact, it can be collectively called the realm of the gods, but this title is only applicable to the gods, and the realm of the undead monarch is called the realm of kings).

Therefore, the real strength of the immortal kings and gods lies not in their unique special abilities, nor in their overall strength level, but in their knowledge, wisdom and experience, as well as their outstanding calculation ability and thinking speed- No matter how powerful the power is, but there is no corresponding brain, it is at most a beast or an uncivilized intelligent life, which is the most important reason why human beings are the dominant race in the world, whether it is in prehistoric times or in this era, and not those demons and monsters who are born with various powerful abilities and high comprehensive physical fitness.

"Strength, wisdom, experience, calculation ability, speed of thinking, and a truly enlightened and multi-angle way of thinking, these are the advantages of the true immortal king, as well as the source of strength......" After thinking about these various kinds of things that really involve the level of strength, Feng Longde also found that he was not far from his destination, "Forget it, I will think about these later, I have to prepare to see if I can solve the problem by playing tricks...... But I still have a hunch that I need to use the right guy to talk to them head-on......" (To be continued.) )
