Chapter 36: Direction

After passing through the great cities of the steppe, the roads became narrow and potholed, the wagons had to walk slowly, and there were thieves along the way, and Cumberland admitted that no amount of money could help them, and the southern continent was full of people struggling to survive.

Cumberland had no choice but to use force to drive out the thieves, but fortunately, the thieves were not strong, but a rabble of civilians and slaves, and almost no one was George's opponent.

"A war that has ruined the country like this. Cumberland drove away a dozen more thieves, got into the car and sighed. He thought of the riots in the slums of Heavenly Grace, and if these poor people were not cornered, they would not have gone against the rulers, and they would not have risked their lives to be strongmen in the way.

"Cumberland, I ask you, are the people more afraid of St. Ossidine, or are they more afraid of hunger?" asked Moses.

"The great God is not for people to be afraid. Cumberland had no choice but to reply.

"Faith, emotionally speaking, in addition to worship, is reverence. "Perhaps, God's intention was not to make believers fear him, but what is the point of the Inquisition being set up by the Church, Mr. Inquisitor? Why do you tie heretics to the stake instead of patiently guiding and proselystening them?"

Cumberland was speechless, and only asked after a while: "You are in the basement of the Patriotic Academy every day, how do you know that I am the chief referee?"

"When I see the leaves turn yellow, I know that autumn is coming, and of course I have my own solution. "I also know that many of the things you have done in the City of Heavenly Grace, you have been trying to find the way to spread the faith, but unfortunately, in the end, your hands are covered in blood. ”

"I'm punishing the blasphemers. ”

"Okay, go, there are many blasphemers in the world, and those people who have not eaten enough are all blasphemous, and if you talk to them about your faith, they will just give you the middle finger and kill them all. Moses scoffed.

"Yes, I can't kill them all, and even if I did, it wouldn't make any sense. "Human beings are really complicated, and even if they are full, they are against God, and it seems to me that most of the people of the church are also blasphemous, and they are clothed in the garb of holiness, but they sit on evil things." ”

"You finally see something wrong, but that's not the substance, don't you think that forcing people to believe in a god in their minds is evil in itself?" asked Moses.

"That'...... So what do I do?"

"You should understand human nature, understand what human beings want, and under what circumstances they will truly believe in it. Moses said, "It seems to me that human beings are inherently unbelieving, and the reason why they pay lip service is because they are afraid of the church, and secondly, they are just making some kind of deal with God." ”

"Deal?" Cumberland was confused.

"Yes, God gives them some kind of good, and they will believe in Him, and that's the deal, how can people believe in God if they don't get anything from Him?"

"Lord St. Ossidine will give eternal life to mankind. "The Son of God said.

"Eternal life, haha, that's too unrealistic, have you ever seen an eternal human being, even the Pope will die, can people believe it?" said Moses, "people are more interested in immediate vested interests. ”

When it was time to eat, George stopped his car, went to a brook, set up a fire, beat the brook with a marching pot, boiled it, and went hunting. It has to be admired that no one else can find food, but George can, and he caught a pangolin.

"Can I eat this?" Belinda asked, frowning.

"It's delicious, big ton. George smiled.

After dinner, the people did not continue on their way, but set up their tents and prepared to rest for the night. Moses, who was recovering day by day, looked up at the sky, looked at the stars, and exclaimed, "Mr. Son of God, you are the Son of God, and you came down from there, right?"

Cumberland also looked at the stars and said, "Yes, maybe yes, I don't know the details of my arrival, I just feel that I was carried by the goddess of wisdom, and I arrived at the main plane in an instant. ”

"In any case, you have at least seen St. Ossidine, you have seen the so-called supreme god, so do you know why he wants you to promote the faith, and what is his ultimate purpose?"

Cumberland recalled: "God said to me that only by spreading the faith can all beings be protected by Him and have eternal life. ”

"Is it logical that he doesn't take anything, but just gives?" asked Moses rhetorically.

"It seems, not quite quite so. The Son of God replied awkwardly, "Perhaps, he is such a great God." ”

"Hahaha, I'm afraid you don't believe your own words, son of God, you are deceived by God, you don't understand the true purpose of St. Ossidine, he can't ask for nothing. ”

"I've been blinded by God!" Cumberland was shocked.

"Yes, in the heavenly realm, I think St. Ossidine has the final say, he instills your thoughts, you always think that is the direction, but you haven't reflected, why did God do this?" Moses prompted, "think about it, think about what the heavenly realm has been doing for a long time, what you saw when you were there, maybe it will help you, and it will help the world. ”

"Are you teaching me?" said the Son of God.

"Sort of, you saved my life and gave me a new lease of life, I think I should also help you and let you out of the mystery, although I don't know the world of the gods, but I think that everything is inseparable from normal logic, if it is not logical, then there must be lies. Moses said, "If you don't even know the truth, how can you find the right direction, and when you simply come down from the heavenly realm and face the complexity of the world, how can you not be confused?"

"If I think that Lord St. Ossidine's choice is wrong, am I going to betray him, and am I going to blaspheme too?"

"That's your business, it's up to you, blasphemy, but God's definition of sin, so to speak, is a sign of his extreme selfishness. Moses said, "If God is so selfish, how can he be as great as he says?"

Cumberland fell into deep thought, and he began to recall all the details of his time in the heavenly realm, and for the first time, he faced what he had seen and heard with skepticism, although the Supreme God had allowed him to stay in the heavenly realm for a short time, and he could see everything very limited.
