Magic Tower Starry Sky

Chapter 212: power and faith

A point of view that has never been thought of, an idea that has never been heard. Fern sat back on her chair, raised her feet again, and regained that exquisite and cold expression. She thought about the difference between the two, and said, "Tell me about your world, what is the belief in that god?"

This...does it mean to have a history of religious philosophy?

Ok. Anyway, every time she talked with this lich, she never asked others to cut short stories, and she could listen as long as she could talk nonsense. At most, when you can't listen anymore, you will be rewarded with a back view with long flowing hair and twisted hips.

It's just so confusing, where do I start? Lin winked and thought for a while before starting to talk. This dull knowledge, of course, starts with the three major religions.

Are you talking about the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism? Of course not, it is only limited to the Chinese area. The three major world religions are Christianity, Christianity and Buddhism. However, no matter which religion it is, Lin knows something, although he does not know it deeply.

Of course, Christianity tells some classic stories in the Bible. Maybe the sentence is not the original sentence in the Bible, but Lin just remembered it roughly. At the beginning, I was addicted to martial arts novels and got tired of reading them, so I turned to the Bible and read them as novels.

*** is completely unfamiliar with teaching. It will probably also explain the teachings that were born out of Christianity and the social environment in which it developed. And the war between the two monotheistic religions, which lasted for thousands of years, has also been written a lot. After all, the religious beliefs of the earth cannot be understood independently of the historical background.

Relatively speaking, Lin is familiar with Buddhism. Mahayana Buddhism, Theravada Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism, etc., each flower blooms several leaves, and countless sects are spreading all over the world. Each has its own way of understanding and practice, but its root is still the Buddha-Shakyamuni.

The large-scale religious beliefs were only halfway through, and Harumi and Kaya, who were hiding outside the door to eavesdrop and watch, couldn't help feeling sleepy. The two sat back to back and took a nap on the floor. Drive the two little girls back to bed, make some supper, make a cup of coffee, and then come back and continue to talk about the long history of religion with Fern, after all, the night is long.

The three major religions have been mentioned, and the following are some local beliefs that I understand, as well as myths and beliefs that have appeared in history, absurd and uninhibited Greek mythology, Nordic mythology that ended in extinction, and there are more gods than people. Indian mythology, Mayan mythology where light and darkness confront each other, ghosts walking in the night, and Japanese mythology where the boundaries between monsters and gods are blurred.

In the end, of course, it is the thousand-year history of the love-hate entanglement of the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. So many systems of myths, such a long history of various countries, of course, cannot be exhausted in one night.

And all kinds of things in the new world, no surprise, attracted three girls, big and small, and they all listened to everything with bright eyes. The difference between a lost land and a lost novelty. Maybe there is no magic on the earth, maybe there is still controversy about which is better between science and magic, but the culture of the earth can be far away from the magic by a few streets, maybe a few light years.

Open the chatter box, add some small wine, if there is dried chili fish, it will be perfect. Lin is more interested in talking nonsense with only three audiences than giving lectures to spread the earth's information technology.

After talking for several nights, I finally gave an outline. The two little girls were chattering, discussing the people on earth's imagination about myths. For example, if a **** sleeps with a cow, he will give birth to a tauren; if he goes to sleep with a horse, he will give birth to a horse with wings. This kind of completely irregular and nonsensical stories, but Midi has never heard of it.

Fern wasn't surprised by those outlandish stalks. Instead, she paid more attention to the relationship between beliefs, social environment, and historical background. These were directions she hadn't considered.

When I think carefully about everything I have experienced, it more or less conforms to the laws that I know through the earth. Faith always reflects the current social and environmental conditions.

If you want to talk about the difference between the earth and the lost land, it is that the lost **** really exists. In the old days, in order to resist the dangerous environment, all kinds of famine and other disasters, the powerless people could only pray to the gods in the sky. However, the old gods kept demanding, and it was not enough to pay all the property, but also sacrificed the people around them, and even sacrificed themselves.

Will it have good results? The answer is only regrettably...

The new gods in this era may have broken away from the bad tastes of the old gods, and began to be persistent in character, unlike the capricious old gods. But there are still traces of what they did, that is, the difference between the interests of those **** and people is that their interests are not vulgar gold, but the amount of power. But the actual existence of the New God also prevents worldly affairs from going to extremes to the greatest extent.

For the earth, the root of belief comes from dissatisfaction in life. The part beyond the ability is a little bit of luck, that is, in people's imagination, the gods of various functions. Realizing this, Fern said with emotion: "It seems that there is really no **** in your world."

"Yeah, there should be no gods in my world."

"Should?" Lich, who was just asking more questions for himself and didn't know how to answer them, heard such an uncertain word, and his voice rose an octave. His eyes were as sharp as a sword, as if he wanted to nail someone through. "What do you mean by 'should'!" she asked.

"Hmm..." As if stepping on a landmine, Lin said cautiously, "You know I'm a believer in science, right?"

"yes."

"Then do you know what the basis of science is?"

"Um, math?"

"That's okay. But the most basic sentence of science is: How much evidence is there, how much is said."

"There is some evidence..." Fern savored this sentence carefully, but in fact, magic is not like this. Lin continued:

"So for God, if we use the scientific method to demonstrate, we have no evidence to prove the existence of God. Of course, this refers to the earth."

There was nothing wrong with such a statement, so Finn nodded in agreement.

Lin smiled slyly, and said, "That's the paradox. As for the **** of the earth, we also have no evidence to prove that he doesn't exist."

That exquisite face froze, and Fern looked at someone with some astonishment. Lin continued: "This is a very basic if and only if in logic. You can understand it with an example. It rains, so the ground is wet. This sentence is correct."

Well, nothing wrong. So Fen nodded to the two little girls who were listening.

"Then because the ground is wet, it must have rained just now. Is that correct?"

Impatient Harumi jumped up and yelled, "That's not right. If I pour water, the ground will be wet too. It doesn't have to be raining."

"That's right, girl, you are enlightened." After a little compliment, a certain smug little girl sat back on her stool. Lin said: "Logically, the requirements for causality are very strict, but the cause and effect cannot stand the test. Speaking of the gods who returned to the earth, since I can't prove that they don't exist, is there any possibility?" , supporting their existence."

"Have it?"

"Maybe I want to be utilitarian, but what kind of coffee am I on the earth. Among the billions of people, I am only a little better than scum. So even if there are gods, they will not show up in front of me. This It doesn’t matter if you’re in Lost Land. It doesn’t matter if you’re a **** or a king, those high-ranking people won’t easily show their faces in front of the common people.”

"That's right." Very clear about the nature of those gods, Fern agreed.

"But I think the more likely situation should be something else. And to say this, I have to explain it from a teaching in Buddhism that I mentioned before. The Mahayana Consciousness-only sect has the so-called eight consciousnesses. King of Heart. The first seven consciousnesses are not the key point, so I will skip it. The eighth consciousness—Alaya Consciousness should be carefully explained in accordance with the Buddhist scriptures, so I can’t finish it in a few days and nights, so I will just talk about my thoughts.”

After coughing and clearing his throat, Lin began to say: "Alaya Consciousness is a collective consciousness of the whole universe. It gathers the consciousness of all people. When people have thoughts, this consciousness will separate seeds, The result of forming others. To put it bluntly, each person’s existence is due to the thoughts and thoughts of other people, so he exists~www.wuxiamtl.com~ At first hearing such remarks, Fen’s brain can’t get over it , looking blankly at the proud person. Lin took advantage of the victory to pursue, and continued: "If the Alaya Consciousness is true, then as long as someone thinks that God exists, then He really does exist. And the more people believe in it, the more stable its existence will be. In some novels on Earth, terms like 'power of faith' are used. "

"Faith..." Fern thought about such a term seriously and redefined it.

Midi also has faith, but faith is only one of the ways to give the gods more power. Whether there were, or were not, Homo Sapiens who believed in them was not of much importance to the lost gods. Compared with the little power contributed by the believers, they value someone who can handle the affairs of the world for them.

Unless the number of people really reaches an order of magnitude, and the level of piety is not easily reached by ordinary people. That's not three days of fishing and two days of praying for drying the nets.

But seeing Lich's serious expression, Lin smiled and said, "But I don't think I need to care so much about it. I became a **** just because I had so many believers. My era is really terrible. In the past, I had to There must be a story about punishing **** and eliminating evil, and righteousness and justice, so that there is a chance to be popular and spread by word of mouth. But in the era I live in, the entertainment industry is developed, and the popularity of various two-dimensional characters and virtual characters in movies It is unimaginable, and the fanatical level of fans in it is no longer a problem. If what I just said is true, then it is estimated that on the earth in the 21st century, the two most powerful gods, one is called Hollywood, and the other is called Let’s go to Akihabara. So just listen to these words.”

"Then your second master Guan jumped out and chopped off a god, what's the matter?"

After talking about it for several days, Lin Ke was dumbfounded by the question for the first time. "What are you talking about?"
