Chapter 719: God
There was silence on the disk, and after a few moments, many voices echoed across the disk.
The expressions of the people around him were different, some were worried, some were confused and at a loss.
At this time, the president of West Francis also spoke slowly.
"If this thing we summoned is Pandora's box, I don't know.
What I do know, though, is that if our humanity is doomed, if our descendants will later become slaves under some supreme being.
At least, those things are much better than these dragons. ”
Wild nodded, "That's the best way to do it in terms of pure rational thinking. ”
"What's there to hesitate about!?"
A white man with a hooked nose at the round table said excitedly, his expression fanatical.
"Humans and gods are inherently connected.
The land has lost faith for far too long.
Sin has returned once again, with the birth of humanity.
Humanity needs gods, it needs reverence, it needs to wash away its sins.
The Messiah will finally come and lead us to the Promised Land!
Human civilization will also be led by the gods to a new height! ”
The Messiah and the Promised Land are classic words.
The person who spoke was supposed to be a Jew.
However, Aaron sneered, "Is it because of the gods that human civilization has reached its current height? ”
Arlen's merciless reply made the white man a little speechless for a while, not because he didn't know how to refute, but because Aryan was afraid of the huge empire standing behind him.
The middle-aged man from Northern Russia also spoke calmly, "It is precisely because of the weakening of theocracy that civilization gradually rises. ”
He glanced at the people present and said slowly, "In the dark thousand years of the European Middle Ages, how many reasons did the Holy See occupy it, I think all of you here who are highly educated should know it, right?" ”
"You are not stupid," he sneered, "and everyone knows that a dictator who wields absolute power will not allow the ruled to have wisdom."
For he who possesses wisdom will not be willing to be a slave. ”
In the West of the world where Char used to exist, there was no ideological and political curriculum.
Instead, the work of rallying the nation and the mind was entrusted to the church.
Therefore, many presidents do not take an oath to the people or to the country, but to read the oath to God according to the Bible.
In fact, in the past, Britannia was actually similar.
The first emperors had to go to the church to take the oath, and it was not until later after the revolution that they got better.
However, it is precisely because of the flames that once burned in this world at this moment that Aaron can criticize the gods here without impunity.
Otherwise, it is estimated that many people here will stand up and scold directly.
The Jew's face was ugly, but he did not dare to refute it because it was the leaders of Britannia and North Russia who spoke.
On the other side, Mr. Zhou slowly spoke, "Human beings cannot lose faith and awe, and I recognize this." Reverence allows us to understand our own insignificance and powerlessness, and to remain humble in the face of the vastness and mystery of the universe. It reminds us that despite the wisdom and strength of human beings, we must also recognize the greatness and irresistibility of nature.
Reverence allows us to learn to value and respect life, not only our own, but all living beings and the life of the natural world. When we revere life, we will cherish its existence even more, and strive to protect and maintain the ecological balance, so that all life can coexist in harmony.
Therefore, people must learn to revere nature, life, and the unknown. Only by maintaining a sense of reverence can we better know ourselves, understand the world, and find our place and value in it. ”
The Jew then looked overjoyed, and seemed to be about to say something, but he soon heard Mr. Zhou continue.
However, the "God" that human beings fear should never be a higher life with its own desires and consciousness.
The awe of human beings should be the nature and the heavens and the earth, the rules of the world and the Tao in the heart.
The so-called gods should be the manifestation of these "ways", not some kind of "idol".
The people of Beichen have never given God absolute authority over people. ”
The Jew's face turned pale, and he lowered his eyes and did not speak any further.
The starting point of the myth of Beichen has always been people, not gods. There has never been any contradiction between man and God.
During the Great Flood, all the myths in the world were "divine punishments", but only the myth of Beichen was based on the earth to control the water, and man would conquer the sky.
Let's just talk about the most important step of human civilization - the use of fire.
The flame of the West, the reward of the gods.
And Beichen, whoever discovers fire is a god.
Shennong tasted a hundred herbs and died, so he is a god.
Fu Xi created Bagua to help human beings understand the mysteries of nature and the universe, so he is a god.
Even Nuwa, who created people, is also a "mother" in Beichen.
Human beings were created in the form of Nuwa, so human beings are no different from gods.
The three were given the title of "Emperor".
"Ladies and gentlemen." "It seems that this is not the time to discuss whether God should exist, but how human civilization should continue," Wild said. ”
Mr. Zhou smiled, "There is only one choice, so there is no need to hesitate." Even if we end up summoning something that becomes our enemy, it will at least drain itself from the dragons. ”
He glanced at the crowd, his eyes calm, without scrutiny or threat.
But everyone present felt an inexplicable sense of oppression.
"Do any of you object to it? It is possible to raise your hand. He said.
But once again, the disc fell silent, and no one objected.
Britannia and Beichen had no objections, and people from the rest of the countries naturally did not dare to have other objections.
Of course, none of these leaders present are fools.
Being able to sit in the position of leader, no matter how small the country is, will have a certain understanding of the situation.
And as they say, it's their only chance.
Mr. Zhou looked at Ramses II, "Let them begin the ceremony." ”
Ramses II smiled, and then said calmly.
"The ceremony began long ago"
Everyone present opened their eyes slightly.
He stared deeply at the projection in the middle of the round table.
This projection has a view of the moon, and it shows Gaward and Dumbledore working together to kill all sides.
He slowly grinned at the middle-aged man who had just criticized the dictator and teased.
"The great thing about being a dictator is that you can do everything with maximum efficiency.
After you have discussed and made a decision, it is estimated that all the guys who fight these dragons on the moon will die" (end of this chapter)
