Chapter 383: Persuade her to be good
Hobart knew that the "Witch of Pain" in front of him was wise enough to understand his own words.
He continued: "You should also realize that the power of the church comes from the extraordinary, but the strength and potential of the church depends on the number of believers.
"There are enough believers, there is enough fresh blood, even if the extraordinary person has a huge loss, he can be replenished in the shortest possible time.
In addition, whether it is the power generated by faith, as well as the acquisition of information, the acquisition of financial resources, and the establishment of channels, it will be a natural thing.
Although many religious people are reluctant to admit it and think in this regard, the truth is: ordinary people are the key to the church!
"What the church should be fighting for, or is fighting for, has always been the power of faith for ordinary people."
Monica listened very carefully, the senior management of the Gnosis Society had a similar concept for a long time, otherwise they would not have tried their best to develop believers.
But before that, none of them had such a clear idea.
Forthth and Helen, on the other hand, thought they had heard a completely new theory, so it was a novelty.
Hobert continued: "Then the crux of the matter comes, since it is a contest for the faith of ordinary people, the image of the church or the clergy among the people will be very crucial.
"If you are always trying to bring pain, despair and calamity to the people, they will certainly not believe in your teachings.
"If you inflict pain on the villain, and if you are the image of the hopelessness of sin, and the calamity of the outlaws, your image will be changed dramatically, and people will spontaneously become Gnostic."
Helen hurriedly asked, "What about joy?" ”
Hobert smiled: "Isn't it joy to let the people you love be happy every day?" ”
He said as he said in his heart: But if you do this, it seems to be cool and cruel.
Hobert continued: "If countless people come to plead for pleasure and you refuse, your image will be greatly changed.
"Also, who said that pleasure is only pleasure between beds? When you are in love, can't every move and look of your lover affect your emotions! ”
Helen opened her mouth, and this seemed to open a new train of thought for her.
Monica let out a long breath and said with a wry smile: "But the existence of our faith is the terminator who ends everything, and our core concept is to bring the end to this world and bring the end to it." ”
The fact that she was able to tell Hobart what they believed was a testament to Monica's candor in this conversation.
Hobert still smiled: "Didn't you notice?" In today's Orthodox Church, the spirit is the spirit, and the church is the church.
"It's not that the church has no loyalty to the gods, but after the gods go to the astral plane, it is impossible for the gods to manage the church in every detail, and more than a thousand years is time, and the church must have developed a corresponding independence.
This is a good thing for us, and perhaps you have heard the saying: Believe in the power of the gods, but do not believe in their mercy.
"Why don't you cut yourself in terms of role and philosophy? The gods are gods, the witch church is the witch church, and the gnosis is the gnostics.
"Leave the end of the world to the Church of Gods and Witches, and you can do what a church should do well."
Monica was stunned for more than ten seconds before she said, "Your idea is very bold, but at the same time, it is also to the point. I'll go back and think about it. ”
After saying that, the "Witch of Pain" didn't eat a mouthful of food, and immediately got up to say goodbye, she needed time to digest the idea she had just heard as soon as possible.
On the return carriage, she told Helen: "Today's conversation, don't leak it to the outside world for the time being.
"Pay attention to Hobart's words and actions, it will be a great change of thinking for you."
……
In the restaurant of the Lord's Palace, the chef is still serving.
Hobert held the chopsticks and sighed: In the conversation just now, there was always a sense of persuasion to the street girl to be good.
Those theories are some ideas that have existed in his mind for a long time, just like the "Rose School", such a path full of curses and malice, can it still be divided into "temperance" and "indulgence"!
In Hobert's view, this extraordinary world has formed some black-and-white values under the influence of the original gods and the distorted nature of the extraordinary nature.
If you believe in the "Goddess of the Night", you cannot believe in the "Lord of the Storm", and if you believe in the "Mother Earth Goddess", you cannot believe in the "God of Wisdom and Knowledge".
Hobert has seen too many people who offer Shakyamuni and Guan Yu, of course, more for Guanyin, but also with the statue of the Lord of the Stove, and the door god is also pasted on the door.
However, such an offering is indeed only suitable for the world where "God is in the spiritual realm". In a world where gods can influence reality, it is indeed not appropriate to believe in several gods at the same time.
However, in Hobert's view, as long as the witch has a positive channel for digesting potions, it is no problem to establish a church that can be generally accepted by the people.
Just as the name of the "God of War" does not contain the description of "the twilight of all things", the obedience of the "Lord of the Storm" also has the description of "Lord of Natural Disasters", and the "Goddess of the Night" also has the description of "Empress of Doom and Fear".
Hobert deeply felt that some extraordinary people were just tendons, always trying to find the most worry-free and effortless way to face the distortion caused by potions.
Even if you have a high sequence of divinity, the key is that some people who have the reason of normal people and have free thoughts will also indulge themselves and gradually lower their moral standards.
If you can bother more, their image, their situation will be completely different.
Hobert's words just now were actually pouring out his inner thoughts, although he had just become a lord, he already had a lot of new ideas.
In his view, as long as it is good for himself and his subjects, it can be used.
Hobert believes that in the future, there can be no only belief in "Mother Earth God" in his own territory, which will be difficult to control the power of the church.
While thinking, Hobert filled his stomach and finished his lunch, only to realize that there were a lot of dishes left at noon today.
So Hobert called Philip over: "Let me wait...... Distribute the surplus food to the villagers who are waiting outside and have not eaten. ”
He was going to let the villagers who were waiting outside come in to eat, but that might be difficult for the housekeeper and the villagers to accept, so he changed his approach.
Philip bowed and said, "I thank you for your kindness on behalf of the villagers. ”
Hobert waved his hand, chatted with Foirth for a few more words, and then sat back on the chair in the courtyard and began his afternoon "work."
That same afternoon, Hobart noticed that two villagers were not looking right and dressing, but instead of immediately investigating, he continued to sit there and act as mascots
After finishing the registration work in the afternoon, Hobert called Philip: "Give the workers a day off, and tell them that the day after tomorrow is the funeral of Viscount Wright's family, and let them all come the day after tomorrow." ”
Philip felt that the lord's order was useful, and although he didn't understand the lord's intentions, he respectfully agreed.
The hukou registration work, which lasted until Friday morning, was basically over.
In the afternoon, Hobert had only three tables left, enough to deal with the scarcity of people who came to register.
Everyone else has started to count and organize their household registers.
Hobert was feeling the potion digested.
