I drank a little wine in the evening, and it was a little floaty.

==============

"The consuls won't let us do that!, and neither will the old men!", some of them remained calm, and did not stir up emotions with Austen's incendiary words, but calmly analyzed, "They are afraid of the Father's gaze, they are afraid of the coming judgment, they have a strong stench of stench from all over them, but they occupy high positions and resist the coming of the light." Austin, do you think they're going to open the gates of the city for the gospel?"

Austen had fallen into a state of frenzy, and with a little foam at the corners of his mouth, he shouted words that made Odro's heart tremble: "Then overthrow them, God teaches us that everyone has the right to pursue happiness, and this power is innate, and no one or thing can stop us from pursuing happiness!

A word suddenly popped up in everyone's hearts - heresy.

This word is something they have only learned in the past few days, and everything that is opposed to righteousness, light, and glory is heresy.

Religion is a terrible organization that allows members to form a spontaneous process of self-brainwashing. There was once a very famous psychologist who said that it only takes two hours for a person to go from receiving to being brainwashed and then to self-hypnosis. It's a theory, but it's not ridiculous.

In another world, there is a marketing method born out of Ponzi schemes, called pyramid schemes. The most important thing in MLM is not to make people fall into the whirlpool of benefits and temptations given to them by the schemers, but to make them believe that this whirlpool exists, and then jump into it themselves. Many people, including college students, doctoral students, professors, and social celebrities from some well-known universities, are unknowingly trapped by this whirlpool.

Aren't they smart?

Not really, how can an unintelligent person get an advanced degree, how can he succeed in a complex and changing society?

So why did they fall into it?

This is the effect of brainwashing.

In fact, the so-called brainwashing is not as mysterious and complex as imagined, nor is it a huge psychological and spiritual project. Brainwashing is just a kind of inertial thinking after the rigidity of the mind, which makes people unable to smoothly mobilize all their knowledge.

The simplest brainwashing is to shout slogans such as "I can succeed someday", "he/she must like me", "nothing can stump me", "work hard and do everything well"......

These are the most basic types of brainwashing, and through this behavior, it creates a kind of psychological suggestion that forces oneself not to think about what I will do tomorrow if I don't succeed, and not to think about what he/she will do if he/she actually doesn't like me. In the process of constant self-hypnosis, ignoring all unstable factors is brainwashing.

In the end, only what needs to be left behind, such as "I can really make money by doing it with them, and I don't think there is a problem with this project", "as long as I work hard, the leaders will definitely pay more and more attention to me".

Religious preaching is also a kind of brainwashing, and Agar constantly narrates stories and teachings, so that people can't help but substitute themselves for it. There is an ugly side to human nature, but there is also a bright side, which is also the root of the contradiction in human nature. Even the kindest and brightest people have dark mental activity. Even demons who are extremely evil have moments when they look up at the sky.

When these believers begin to actively touch the essence of religion, it is also the moment when they begin to hypnotize themselves. For they always have a light hidden in their hearts, and they will magnify this light and suppress the darkness in their hearts.

Even to do something that seems extremely horrible and ridiculous to others!

Osdi's cry was like a wildfire that ignited the grassland in people's hearts in an instant, and they yearned for light and needed to break the darkness.

From a religious point of view, this is salvation!

Agar looked at all this with a smile, he knew that he had succeeded, he kept the fire in the hearts of these people, and the next thing was to wait for the moment when the flame burned the heavens and the earth.

Odro's hands and feet were cold, and his mind was so confused with horror that he couldn't even get home.

He now has two paths, the first is to stand on the opposite side of the church, resolutely defend the vested interest groups in the embryonic form of feudal society at this time, and become a heresy in the mouth of the church. The second way is to completely fall to the church, to become a sharp blade in the hands of the church, to crush all enemies, even his relatives.

He thought at this time, why should he be so smart, so observant, wouldn't it be better if he was stupid?

The city is still very peaceful, the beggars on the streets have disappeared before they know it, and the streets are clean and fresh again.

Austin, known as the "Cryer of Rham", is still selling his fruit.

But there are some people who understand that the city of Röma at this time is like a powder keg, and it only takes a little spark to turn the city into beautiful fireworks.

Splendid, but only for a moment of eternity.

......

"It's ridiculous!", Gutling slammed a letter to the ground, squinted his eyes and stomped a few more times, he took a few steps back and forth, picked it up again, and read it aloud to the officials in the town hall in a very exaggerated tone, "Dear Archon, I, and all the people of God the Father, hope to build a cathedral in the city of Roma, so that the mercy and majesty of God the Father can come down to the city and shelter all good people ......." ”

He laughed loudly, "Aha, look at what the damn guy has written, and he wants to build a ridiculous church in the city, and he wants to protect the good people, are all of us evil people here?"

He went on to read: "The greatness of God the Father encompasses all things, both good and bad, and will eventually receive the Father's attention. All that is good will be praised, and all that is evil will be judged, and God the Father is omnipotent......"

"Since God the Father is so great, please send down a divine punishment to kill me, an evil fellow!"

Gutling tore the letter to shreds and sprinkled it into the air, his face grim, "From this day on, the city of Roma will be under martial law to expel all believers of the Holy Light Cult. The first one to come forward and denounce him, I will grant him the status of a first-class citizen, and allow him and his children to receive an education!"

"I'm going to let I find no one in my precinct who believes in the Father!
