Chapter 151: The So-Called Religion

readx;? Around 1 p.m., outside the church in the jungle on the Elven border, the crowd had begun to gather. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info but the elven clan forest is big, but there are not many people, and after all, it is not the main belief in the Church of Light, and the people who come are only fifty or sixty.

But this is also the result of the efforts of the church priests, who are essentially different in their beliefs, and it is difficult to preach with their mouths alone. The Church of Light still has a huge advantage, that is, their light system recovery spell is indeed quite good, but the natural spell of the elven race can also do a certain amount of healing, and the effect is stronger or weaker, and it is also a matter of opinion, so the Church of Light is not necessary here.

Two priests, five nuns, seven devout believers brought from the Terrans, make up the entirety of this chapel. They don't have much attack power, the priest knows some spells, but heals first, and if he fights, two soldiers can basically subdue him.

As a matter of fact, it is taboo to send people with superb strength to preach in a big country, and a strong person is equal to an army, and it is difficult for a person to casually run to "garrison" troops in other countries, and it is difficult for a big country of the same kind to agree. And some small countries are the opposite, after all, the big country comes to "garrison" it is equivalent to giving him protection and security.

Usually after the disciples are sent out, they will stay here permanently, and only occasionally go out. However, if there is nothing to be done for a long time, the mission cannot be preached, and there are too few followers, it will naturally be replaced by the headquarters. From the believer to the priest here, there have been three batches, and the bear children here are too strong.

Bear children have the advantage of bear children, that is, they are all children, they will not be too taboo to say anything, and the priest can't give them a line, and this is the elf clan, not their own territory. At the same time, these bear children themselves have begun to derive a whole set of theories, they have come to see the Church of Light as an enemy, and the more time passes, the more carefully they think about it, the harder it is to be fooled.

In the eyes of the bear children, they are doing great things, almost at the same level as "saving the world". They are persevering, not afraid of hardships and dangers, and the more time passes, the more experienced and intelligent they are, and there is no unacceptable punishment for failure. Don't look at it as a bear child, but in fact it is already at the level of "heretic".

And the elven adults here don't care much about the children, just look at these servants who claim to be gods, but they can't even handle the bear children, and they are also suspicious of their mouths. The few people who join the Church, most of them have received their treatment, listened to their teachings, and felt good, then they believed. But this kind of faith is far worse than that of the devout believer.

Today is another big day, and the church has brought a few buckets of fish for an event. In fact, the Church of Light does not have activities such as life release, which is actually the nature of the elves. However, the essence is all about love and the like, and the Church of Light can also make some changes in order to settle in.

"Ah, I'm glad that so many people are here today," said one of the bearded priests, smiling at the cross, holding the Bible in one hand and the cross in the other. They were originally made up of families, had children, and they were originally made up of a happy life, but the hateful butcher caught them and wanted to eat them. It's so damning. ”

"Why do you eat fish, why do you eat living creatures?" the priest said, "They killed fish in a cruel way, and when they were still alive and jumping, they cut their belly with a knife, and the blood flowed all over the ground, and they took out the internal organs, and when they were done, they put it in a pan and fried it, and until now, the fish were still alive." It's unimaginable. ”

There was a burst of boos from the people below, many of the elves still retain vegetarianism, and there are all believers here, so it is naturally easy to be brought into the rhythm.

Kevin was already in the last row, and he just looked left and right, observing the terrain. He had long been cocooned by this kind of rhetorical theory of the Church of Light, but it was really not easy to refute him. You can tell him that plants have life, how can they eat? He can also say to you, "Eat the fruit, but the fruit tree will not die, eat the fish, and the fish will die." How cruel. "Sophistry is sometimes not just about grasping the truth.

Almost every priest is a master of mouth, no less than the average bard, and the point is that they are all believers. It's the home of the priest, and if the priest says a, it's all the truth, and even if Kevin says the truth, others will take it as.

"Actually, I have carefully studied the nature teachings of the elves, and you worship the goddess of nature, who gave you the first life. And we worship the God of Creation, who created everything, and we think ......" Then the priest began a long nonsense.

Kevin understood later that this was just a foreign church entering a new place, and there was going to be some integration. The milder way is to look for similarities in the teachings of both sides, and then through the mouth cannon, finally say that the two churches are actually the same meaning, that the creator God can incarnate thousands, that he is invincible, that your goddess of nature is his daughter, and then find someone in the Bible and put it on, and then barabala a whole bunch of them.

Plausible things are inherently difficult to argue. Naturally, an atheist can say, "Call your gods out." The other party can also retort: "You called the king." If you can't see it, you don't have it? If you can't call the king, can you say that the king doesn't exist?" Then they asked, "Where do people come from without God?" Parents have children, so who were the original parents? Of course they are God. ”......

Kevin had tried debating more than once as a child, but it didn't work out well. But even so, Kevin was not convinced by the Church of Light. In his opinion, if he believes your nonsense, it will be the greatest insult to his father.

But when I was a child, I was able to do some debates, but now that I have grown up, I can't speak. The absolute authority of the church means that adults must speak in accordance with the doctrine of the church, otherwise they are likely to be made pagans. Kevin was only able to tell the truth to Starter before he died in the cave.

Balabala, after an hour, led everyone to sing praises, and then prayed silently after singing the praises. Kevin also had to bow his head and pretend, even if he didn't believe it, it was better to keep a low profile on this occasion. Also respect their customs, with their heads held high and a hippie smile, they will be beaten.

"To make sure our fish get back to their families perfectly, let's take a look along the river and prevent anyone from causing trouble. After the prayer, the priest finally began to go into the normal process. The believers also smiled and nodded, of course they knew who would make trouble, it was all the day.

The believers dispersed and strolled along the river, a few nuns and Terrans apparently more cautious, and they carefully examined along the river, apparently also estimating that the bear child might come to cause trouble. The two sides have been "fighting" for a long time, and the priest will also have a lot of experience.

After a few moments, the cultists returned: "No problem. ”

"All right," the priest nodded, and then stooped down to scoop up the fish from the bucket, "then let's give them a new lease of life!"

As soon as he said that, the fish jumped into the river and popped. All the believers applauded, and their faces were full of smiles, as if they were also very pleased with this scene.

"Let's pray again for this fish. The priest drew another cross, and put a light spell in his hand. In fact, it is to look at the surface of the water, so that people feel that their prayers are really delivered.

"Okay, let's move on to the next one. The priest took out another one, and then the same procedure, release, applause, prayer, and a light on the water.

Kevin couldn't help but be stunned, and said in his heart, is this release still a piece of release, but after thinking about it, he can understand that sometimes in order to improve cohesion, the church sometimes has to arrange some long-term activities. If you make something simple and complicated, believers will be convinced of the meaning of something that they are doing when they get together for a long time, even if they feel like they are doing something stupid.

It's just that in this way, the plan of the bear child to fry the fish is not easy to implement. They let them go one by one, and the bear child can only fry it once, so can it just fry a fish? The result is too small. Or the priest also calculated the possible destruction, so he let them go one by one, trying to avoid "casualties".

"Oh, let's release another one," the priest was delighted, "and although the process is boring, what we do is meaningful." ”

Kevin frowned and thought in the back row, and also considered whether to use his good mouth cannon to spray, but after thinking about it, there was no chance of winning. There is no fish market here, otherwise Kevin would have gone and bought three more buckets of fish for the priest to release them one by one.

Seeing that the priest was halfway away, Kevin finally had an idea and began to raise his hand and ask, "Priest, I can't see in the back row, can I go to the front and feel it up close?"

The priest had already seen that Kevin, and that among the elven clans, there was a human race that was actually more conspicuous, and he nodded happily: "Of course, my child, come on." ”

Kevin immediately squeezed up happily, and even walked out of the crowd to the platform. The priest hurriedly stopped: "You can't come up, this is where I stand." ”

"Oh, is that so?" Kevin asked the cultists, turning back. Of course, the cultists nodded in unison.

"Go down, kid. "The priest was very kind.

"Huh, there's a dead fish in the bucket?" Kevin exclaimed.

Everyone was horrified, and the priest hurriedly looked back and stabbed him, but saw that the fish were all alive and well. couldn't help frowning: "Child, don't lie." ”

"Look, this fish, he's motionless, he's sinking at the bottom, isn't he dead?"

"Son," laughed the priest, "he is not dead. If the fish dies, it will flip its belly and float up. ”

"I see," Kevin took the opportunity to take two more steps. Then suddenly the man had a convulsion, fell straight down, and pushed the remaining buckets of fish into the river, and even stabbed the ribbon fish and made a huge pop sound.

"What's wrong?" everyone was surprised, and the priest hurriedly crouched down to examine it. And Kevin still fell to the ground.

There was a lot of discussion among the believers, and many of them remembered that the priest had just said, "You can't come up, this is where I am standing." "Sure enough, you can't stand in a mess, the priest's words are very important. But the priest was puzzled, and subconsciously went up with a light system inspection spell, but felt that there should be no problem with this person.

"Come on, help them to the church first. "The priest stood up and commanded, it's always a big deal that someone is unconscious, and anyway, the fish have been released, and there is nothing to release again.

Two believers came over, picked up Kevin, and walked to the church. The priest said to the faithful, "Although today's ceremony is not complete, the result is the same. We saved a bunch of lives, we ......"

Suddenly there was an explosion in the distance, and then there was a splash of water, and all the fish flew into the sky, and then scattered in all directions, and some fell to the shore and jumped.

"Oh......" the believers let out a low cry, followed by laughter from some of them. It can be seen that they are not very convinced, and they are happy to read jokes.

A few bear children rushed out of the river, grabbed a few fish and ran. The priest gritted his teeth in anger: "Quick! Catch them back, get them back!"

The nuns and the faithful immediately rolled up their sleeves and chased after the bear child. The bear children also made a relatively complete retreat plan, but in fact, no matter how perfect the retreat plan was, they couldn't run away. Because there are only a few of them who make trouble, even if they don't jump out, they can be counted in the end.

Although the elves are very old, their combat power is pure children, not to mention that the elf jungle is so big, and no child's children know that there is no way to escape.

Sure enough, when it was approaching evening, all the troublemakers were caught, but they didn't have any fish in their hands, and they didn't know where they were hiding, so it stands to reason that it was impossible to roast and eat them in such a short time.

Kevin was still lying on the church bed for the time being, and the priest didn't find anything wrong, thinking that it was probably just a general coma, and he would just sleep for a while, so he didn't care about Kevin. Kevin didn't dare to wake up so soon, he was worried that his trick would be discovered.

Pricked up your ears to listen carefully to the sound in the hall, after all, it was only a door, and it was quite clear. Then I heard the priest reprimand: "It's you again, it's you again, do you know that you will go to hell if you repeatedly disobey God's will." ”

"If I don't go to hell, who will?" replied Leyson proudly.

Priest: "......"

"Hmph, we don't believe you," the other elf retorted, "it's all fake, foolish." "Yes, why is our goddess the daughter of your god? Maybe she is your mother?" I don't accept it!" "I don't accept it either!" "We have to ask the faith and fight......"

The children screamed, Kevin listened in the side room, and couldn't help but sigh a little, now only these children can say these words.

"Child," the priest sighed, "you are too young to blame. But you have to think about it, why can the Church of Light spread all over the continent, and your goddess of nature is only believed by you elves?"

"That's just you fooling. A child sneered and retorted.

"No, child, the truth cannot be fooled. The reason why so many people believe in it is because we hold the truth. The priest replied.

"What is the truth?" the child asked, "Isn't the truth within the range of the bow and arrow?"

"Son," said the priest again, "you have to believe in God, not in the proverbs you hear anywhere. God is omnipotent, and He will not deceive you. ”

"Why wouldn't he cheat on me?" asked one child, "maybe he will deceive people as soon as he is happy?"

"God's will is everywhere, he represents the past, present and future, he represents all affairs, every word you say now, every action you make, the reason why you are here is actually God's arrangement. If one day God lies to us, it is the end of the world. The priest spoke.

Kevin sighed as he listened next door, in fact, from his travels, theistic and atheistic ways of thinking were very different, even irreconcilable. The elves believe in the goddess of nature, but in fact their goddess of nature does not care about anything, in fact, she believes in the laws of nature. The Church of Light, on the other hand, believes in the doctrine of the Lord, believing that God is everything, and that all its own reality is due to God's arrangement. There is an essential contradiction in this, but the average believer is not intelligent enough, and he is basically fooled left and right, and he believes in both religions at once.

The situation of Lou Baole is even more different, Lou Baole's domestic mainstream routine novels even put forward the idea of going against the sky, people can kill gods, people can become gods, and people can become the main gods. This is unimaginable in any other foreign church, in the concept of Lou Pauler, the so-called "god" is nothing but a high-level life, he may be able to fight a hundred sword masters, fight a thousand sword masters, but he will also have a limit, and he can also be killed.

Even the mythical versions of the Great War of Gods and Demons are slightly different from one race to another. The races in other regions are basically just watching the battle of gods and demons, only the version handed down from Lou Baole is that the king led the team to kill the demons, and the gods are the auxiliary. After that, the version of the human-dragon war was very different, other countries basically prayed to the gods, and the gods sent a few artifacts, and then the Terran warriors held the artifacts and slay the dragon victoriously. The mythological differences between the ethnic groups in each region are only a matter of detail.

Only Lou Baole Guo said that the artifact was created by our human race itself and had nothing to do with the gods. This may have been quite a cultural difference long ago. (To be continued.) )
