Rebirth: Japanese investor

   Chapter 690 Cult

  Kishimoto Masayoshi did not express his personal attitude, but he understood that in a country like Japan, there is a principle of religious freedom.

   It is precisely because of the existence of such a principle of religious freedom that many cults disguised as religions have been born. One of the most famous and well-known cults is Aum Shinrikyo.

  On March 20, 1995, members of Aum Shinrikyo launched a sarin gas attack on 5 trains on 3 Tokyo subway lines, killing 13 people and injuring 6,300, creating a terrorist attack that shocked the world.

   In 2000, the cult was renamed "Aleph Cult" and split into two factions in 2007. Among them, the majority is "Aleph", while the minority is "Wheel of Light".

   Japanese media said that they still used the discs and materials of the original leader, Shoko Asahara. On July 6, 2018, Shoko Asahara was executed.

   "Why don't you say anything and just look at my mother, is your mother-in-law jumping into the fire pit?" Sakai Rie focused her attention on Kishimoto Masayoshi.

   "There's something wrong with what you said. How can you be sure that the emerging small sect that your mother-in-law believes in is a cult? In my opinion, identifying a sect as a cult is as simple as it is simple, and difficult to say.

  I don't look at whether it's making money, cultivating personal spirits, etc., but just looking at whether it has caused casualties to innocent ordinary people. "Kishimoto Masayoshi casually said.

   "Why does it make me feel like you didn't say that?" Sakai Rie said dissatisfied with his answer.

   "Since the day it was born, the Bible has been revised hundreds of times, both large and small. On the basis of the original Christianity, Catholicism, Protestantism, and Orthodox Christianity were not divided.

   Not only that, but on these foundations, various niche sects were also subdivided. The reason why people believe in religion is based on practical and spiritual needs.

  Why do cults have room for survival? That is also in line with the law of existence is reasonable. Where there is day, there is night, and where there is sunshine, there must be shadows.

  Cults represent one of the dark sides of this world. Its demagogic rhetoric and so-called teachings are not without any truth at all, they are complete nonsense.

   Even if it has a lot of contradictions and problems, it is not easy for ordinary people to discover. Ordinary people often do not have the ability to think independently, they are too lazy to think, and they cannot think seriously or think deeply.

   They are generally stubborn and will only defend and excuse themselves based on some preconceived knowledge in their heads... Even if they raise objections, they will be ridiculed, ridiculed, etc.

   Originally belongs to the unsatisfactory and unconfident people in real life, it is naturally difficult to hold on to their own opinions, and they have to be subordinated to collective thinking.

   According to the explanation of the book "The Crowd", after the individual consciousness is subordinate to the collective consciousness, the IQ will be greatly reduced.

   They want a simple and intuitive result, not a problem. Even in today's latest edition of the Bible, there are still some inconsistencies and inconsistencies.

   Don’t talk about the so-called teachings of cults. It is full of absurdity, self-contradiction and incomprehensible places. Cults take advantage of the weaknesses in human nature, so that they can bewitch a large number of so-called believers.

  Which groups are most likely to be deceived by cults? The first is the ordinary people at the bottom of the society. Their life is not easy, and naturally they need a place to place their spiritual sustenance and placement.

   Not to mention cults, even serious religions have had problems in the process of preaching. Endo Shusaku's "Silence" mentioned that Christianity once had more than 300,000 believers in Kyushu, Japan. What did it depend on?

   Do you really think that ordinary Japanese people understand the true teachings of Christianity? It was the Japanese at that time who understood the God of Christianity as the God of Amaterasu that they had long believed in.

   In addition, many ordinary Japanese people mistakenly believe that they believe in God, and they will be able to ascend to heaven to enjoy happiness after death. They no longer need to live in the dire straits of reality.

  Why was Christianity brutally suppressed in the early Tokugawa shogunate? That's because some missionaries bewitched the believers in Kyushu to rebel.

   This is absolutely zero tolerance for any country and any ruler, and it is definitely something that will kill people.

   Prior to this, neither the daimyo of Kyushu nor the shogunate in Japan had been aggressive in dealing with Christianity’s actions in Japan, and basically held a non-interference attitude.

   Furthermore, the national character of the Japanese is very strong in xenophobia. This country is just like what Endo Shusaku said in "Silence". In the swampy land of Japan, God has been silent.

  Japan is like a swamp, and it is difficult for other things to survive on it, which once again shows that this country is very xenophobic. "Kishimoto said slowly.

He felt a little dry mouth when he said this, so he stopped, and after drinking a large sip of sake to moisten his throat, he continued: "Second, the reason why cults can bewitch a lot of people is nothing more than supernatural ability. , money, sex, etc.

   That is to say, if ordinary people lack and desire what they want, then do what they like. There are quite a few ways of recruiting younger brothers like the underworld. If you follow the boss, you will not be bullied in the future. Some are money, some are beautiful girls. Of course, before these are realized, it is natural to pay monthly membership fees and participate in organizational activities.

   Furthermore, they used the brainwashing technique of pyramid schemes to organize and regularly gather believers together for meetings, thus repeatedly brainwashing…”

   Sakai Rie interrupted without waiting for him to finish speaking: "Don't tell me about this. I just need my mother not been deceived.

   As for the nature of a cult, I have absolutely no interest in it. Anyway, it definitely can't fool me. Just give me a heartfelt message, can you solve it? "

   "I can solve it, but I don't want to solve it. So far, there is absolutely no evidence that the new sect that my mother-in-law joined is a cult.

   As long as the other party does not cross the line to bewitch and harm my family, it is not against me, Kishimoto Justice. Otherwise, you are fighting against me.

  I am an atheist, and have no interest in these things. If I were not an investor, but a politician, I would be very interested in the votes in the hands of believers of a certain denomination.

   Even if you don’t believe in that set in your heart at all, for the sake of support, you will join it. Who made Japan a one-person, one-vote electoral country? " Kishimoto said eloquently.
