Chapter 847: Sophistry [Asking for a Subscription * Asking for a Monthly Pass]

There is nothing to say if it is just born out of the city-state system, but the point is that the monarchy is divinely granted, which creates a strange and strange thing.

Temple!

Under the divine authority of the monarch, the power of the temple is infinitely magnified, and the temple is actually the biggest controller of each province.

As a result, the Seleucid kingdom actually did not have much control over the place.

In particular, the deity system of the Sabbath and Bactrian beliefs and the deity system of the Seleucid Kingdom belief are not the same system!

Seleucid believed in the Norse god system, that is, the Germanic system of the god king Odin, while the belief in Sabbath and Bactria was based on the classical Greek mythological system, Sumerian mythology!

"No wonder!" Jin Yao finally understood why Anxi was born anti-bone.

Even the beliefs are different, how can they be mixed together?

"What the hell?" The No. 2 famous person who arrived in Daxia was directly dumbfounded when he looked at the local customs.

He thought that there would be a gap between civilizations, advanced and backward, but he didn't expect that China had abolished slavery for many years, and there were still slaves here, and even human trafficking was encouraged!

Forget it, when you are sick, it is normal to go to the doctor, so in Huaxia, the social status of the doctor is not low.

But here......

Gongsun Chong saw a scene that subverted his cognition.

Obviously a patient, went to the doctor, and was treated, but the first time was not to thank the doctor, but to thank the gods for the treatment, and then the backhand to his own doctor was spitted lightly, and punched and kicked at the worst.

"Here, doctors seem to be a high-risk profession!" Gongsun Chong and the others glanced at each other.

Huaxia etiquette makes them have to report to the benefactor, and they can't understand why some patients would punch and kick the doctor who has treated them.

"Distinguished guests from afar don't know anything, they are all filthy people!" The guide respectfully introduced the local customs to Gongsun Long and others.

Gongsun Long and others also understood why.

In the Seleucid kingdom, the people believed that their sickness was a punishment from the gods, a test of the gods, and thunder, rain and dew were gifts from the gods.

But doctors are different, these people are born to deal with disease, the dirtiest profession, and they are also blasphemers, as doctors, it is the punishment of the gods, so that they can only live with disease for the rest of their lives.

Gongsun Chong and the others were all dumbfounded, completely unable to understand this way of thinking.

In the Central Plains of China, you use a doctor to try, those people who have been treated can let you know what is called social attribute death, and even the government will not help you.

"It's rare to be superstitious about ghosts and gods to such an extent!" Gongsun Chong knew very well that the root of all this came from this so-called temple.

Although Huaxia also believes in gods, it is only a spiritual sustenance that is looking for when cornered, if even the gods can't save themselves, then this god is not worth believing.

In other words, Huaxia's belief in the gods comes from and is useful to itself!

But here it is the belief in the gods that transcends the law and is enshrined!

"God is omnipotent!" Under the guidance of the guide, Gongsun Chong and his entourage started their trip to the extreme west.

Because they knew that they were distinguished guests from Great Qin, the temples and provinces in various places also gave absolute courtesy, after all, their gods had been beaten by gods from the east before!

But it wasn't their hatred in return!

At the beginning, I heard that Fang Cheng had come to these places and killed the masters in their temple, Gongsun Chong and the others were ready to fight, after all, they knew that this group of people's belief in the gods had reached the point of perversion.

Who would have thought that instead of encountering any hostility, they would put their status even lower after hearing that they were distinguished guests from the East.

After thinking about it, Gongsun Chong understood the key, their gods were beaten by other gods, proving that other gods were more powerful and omnipotent.

In order not to destroy their god system, they chose to put those guys in Fang Cheng in a higher position than their gods, and they were the existence of the upper gods.

It was precisely because of this, so after hearing that they were the people of the gods of Fangcheng, they naturally fell below in terms of status.

The lord of Daxia and the lord of Anxi both personally received Gongsun Chong and his party, and then sent personal guards to escort the group to the capital of Seleucus.

"That's a group of evil gods, our gods still have wins and losses when fighting with your gods, although the temple is destroyed, but at least there are still ruins, but their gods are different, if you can't beat it, even the island of the gods has been sunk, this is not an evil god!"

The lords of Great Xia and the rest of the kingdom were constantly following Gongsun Chong and others to speak ill of Seleucid.

Gongsun Chong was also silent, what are you doing...... The pot calling the kettle black? As long as the other party is worse than you, you win?

And Gongsun Chong knew very well that the so-called gods that this group of people talked about were actually just some masters and masters of celestials who had been cultivated by people, and they were not gods!

"You think the gods are omnipotent?" Gongsun Chong still found it a little difficult to understand.

"Naturally, the gods are omnipotent!" In this regard, both Anxi and Daxia said with unwavering fanaticism.

"Then let me ask you a question!" Gongsun Chong thought about it, as a famous artist, he is still the best at mouth escape.

"Excuse me!"

"Can a god create a boulder that He can't lift?" Gongsun Chong looked at everyone and asked.

"Of course, the gods are omnipotent!" The people below spoke decisively.

Gongsun Chong smiled slightly, didn't say anything more, sat on the Vermilion Bird of the Mo family, and flew towards the Seleucid capital in the shocked eyes of everyone.

"Miracles, miracles!" However, the ignorant people regarded Suzaku as a miracle and decisively knelt on the ground to worship.

Only the priests of the temples were thundered, and they knew better that the so-called divine power was just a fiction they used to control the people.

Now these distinguished guests from the East seem to want to expose their lie.

And Gongsun Chong's words are an extremely simple sophistry.

Are gods omnipotent?

So can a god create a boulder that He can't lift?

If he could, then he couldn't lift this boulder, and he wasn't omnipotent!

If not, then it is simpler, He can't create it, then it's not omnipotent!

And Gongsun Chong and his entourage would spread a wave of sophistry everywhere they went, causing the entire Seleucid Kingdom to fall into a struggle between theocracy and human rights.

"Playing Sumerian mythology to death, this is the god Odin who is coming to plague us again?" Seleucus II naturally knew the news of Gongsun Chong and his party, and at first he was still laughing at the incompetence of the classical Greek mythological system.

But it wasn't until Gongsun Chong and his entourage were about to arrive in their capital that they discovered that they couldn't refute that sophistry!
