Blackstone Code Chapter 298: Faith
One of the two priests is older and the other is younger, and they all wear roughly similar clothing.
A kind of cloak similar to those worn by ancient clerics, with loose shawls, a dress that looks like a long skirt, with a simple waist, and some mysterious patterns and decorations on the clothes, and The most important thing, a hood.
They walk barefoot on a clean, face-like floor, leaving a dusty footprint with every step, but they don't seem to care, or care, at least in a way. There are indeed some qualities.
"Mr. Lynch, do you believe in God?"
Some older priests looked at Lynch, their eyes were cloudy, but it made people feel that there was an inexplicable power inside, "Do you believe in our god?"
The eyes of the two priests fell on Lynch, as if Misehaye wanted the police chief to test Lynch's attitude, they also wanted to know Lynch's religion towards Nagalil, their gods , what do you think.
This is a very important temptation. In the past many years, some of the people who came to Nagalil from the outside world were atheists. They insisted on not believing in any gods. Your religious teachings are completely contrary to them, and these people are blasphemers.
There are some people who believe in gods, but they only believe that the gods they believe in exist and are righteous, and the others are evil gods. This is even more terrifying than atheists. They directly deny the local religious teachings and tarnish them. the sanctity of the gods.
Temptation becomes important, especially since Nagalil is still a religious theocracy, and the sanctity of God need not be questioned, nor can it be questioned.
After listening, Lynch nodded without hesitation, "I believe it!"
His decisiveness made both priests stunned for a moment. They had already prepared some rhetoric, but they obviously didn't need it now.
They originally planned to wait for Lynch to say "don't believe" and convince him with some facts, but these words were useless, which made the atmosphere a little awkward.
In embarrassment, the silence lasted for about four or five seconds, and the older priest had more expressions on his face. He nodded slightly, "Mr. Lynch, although you say you believe it, I think..."
"You haven't been in contact with our religion, you haven't read our teachings, and you don't know anything about the great gods we believe in. Can you explain why you think this way?"
His expression gradually became more serious, "God is omnipotent, you can deceive me, but you can't deceive it!"
Religious issues and belief issues are very serious things for some special people, and it can even be said that these people exist around these things.
They may not pursue other issues, but they will insist on some rigid and strict requirements only in terms of belief.
Lynch said Thaksin so quickly, but it made the two priests suspicious, wondering if Lynch really believed, or just to deceive them.
Belief must not be reserved or full of deceit, these are all blasphemy against the gods.
They would rather Lynch say he is an atheist than to deceive himself and the gods.
Compared with the seriousness of the elder priest, Lynch was quite relaxed. He sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and asked a question, "How do you know that I am deceiving you, and how do you know that I am deceiving you? Not really?"
"Only your guess?"
Before waiting for the older priest to say anything, Lynch robbed him of his chance to speak, "I am a theist and believe that gods are real, I didn't want to explain these issues, but your words may Some bad influences on me, and I have to correct your mistakes."
"Actually, anyone who can think independently will understand this. Every religion is an extremely large and complicated system. Many people study a religion for a lifetime, but they cannot study everything in it thoroughly." /
"If there is no God in this world, where did these things come from?"
"It can't be born out of thin air. If someone lied and made up these things, not to mention the question of whether people have the ability to make the system and content of every religion so perfect, why should others believe in a fabrication? A false story?"
Lynch's voice had an air of inquiry into the mystery, which made people immersed in it without realizing it, "You made up such a huge lie, people will know it. Everyone in your era will know it. No one has said such a thing before you, then it's all fake and they won't believe it."
"Other people won't believe it, and no one will pass on the lie you told after you die, because everyone knows it's false, and people will pass on the real experience, experience and perception of life to The next generation, but no one will pass on lies."
"People all know these things, and passing on these things means that these things must have happened. At least people know that they have happened, so they will pass them on."
"And if you don't take a closer look at other pantheons, you will find some doctrines, some stories related to the gods, and the content is not unique to you, but common and shared. ."
"I'm not an atheist, nor a believer in a certain faith, but I believe that gods exist. In the years we don't know, people can't leave the area where they live. How do they cross even in Today we all feel like a long way off, documenting the same thing?"
"Maybe because of language, customs, habits and other reasons, we have different understandings of the same god, different records, so that we have different views on some things that have the same root and the same source, but this does not prevent us I believe that God exists."
Lynch's words stopped here. He tilted his head slightly and looked at the two priests with a very calm look, "Do you still think I am deceiving you?"
The older priest touched his chest with one hand and bent down at the same time, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lynch, it was my fault!"
Lynch raised his hand to help him greatly, "I forgive you, we didn't know each other before, the strangeness made us full of vigilance against each other, and now the misunderstanding is solved."
The older priest straightened up, he nodded, "Yes...", he glanced at the young priest beside him, the latter took out a red velvet cloth bag from the arm cage, opened it, the middle Drag and drop a white brand three inches long and two inches wide.
It looks like it is a bone of some kind of animal or something, and there are mysterious patterns carved out of gold wire on the brand, which makes it look very noble as a whole.
"This is the blessing card that the high priest personally blessed with divine power..." The older priest took out the card and handed it to Lynch, "In addition, there will be an event next week on the weekend, and the high priest also hopes that You can be there!"
This kind of invitation is an official invitation only after confirming that Lynch meets their invitation conditions. Otherwise, they may just come here today for a passing scene, and they cannot invite an atheist or other believers to come. Participating in local religious activities may lead to some unforeseen consequences, which they have encountered before.
The plaque they sent was made from the horns of a horned animal. This plaque represented a religious status in Nagalil, and the high priest would only give it to some special people. to express their affirmation.
For example, ascetic monks, these people prove the purity of their beliefs by torture and torture. These people look very thin and sloppy, but they can always burst out with unimaginable power.
In the history of the confrontation between theocracy and the regime, there have always been times when theocracy has fallen behind, and a few times it has even nearly lost its grip on power.
It was these ascetic monks who gathered from all over the country of Nagalil that saved the situation at that time and stabilized the theocracy again.
Since then, the native religion of Nagalil has begun to improve the social status of the ascetic, and the high priests will grant them divine tokens to make them revered.
Their children also have the right to go to school and enjoy various social benefits higher than citizens.
But don't think that becoming an ascetic is an easy matter. It's actually not that simple. Becoming an ascetic requires a deep understanding of the teachings and an ordination.
They need to cut off the kinship with their relatives, cut off the connection with the worldly view, the only contact they can have is the **** and the god's spokesperson - the high priest.
Then they have to choose between intensive or manual repairs, which of course is another matter.
The person who holds this divine card is equivalent to an alternative religious aristocracy, and the Nagalilians with faith will respect the holder.
Lynch thanked the two priests repeatedly and watched them leave~IndoMTL.com~ After he closed the door and returned, he glanced at the magic card on the coffee table and played with it for a while.
In fact, Lynch has a belief, a real belief. He believes in wealth, power, and giant ships and cannons, but he does not believe in gods.
However, in order to better integrate into this society, he needs to put on a coat of faith for himself. Fortunately, these people are easy to fool.
After an afternoon's rest, when the sky outside the window began to darken, Lynch and Asir came together to a dinner party specially held to welcome him.
The organizer was Mayor Mishehaya, who invited local celebrities and tycoons, and even the provincial governor was on his invitation list.
It was organized by him, rather than by the provincial governor, who just borrowed his words.
At half past five, a luxury motorcade appeared in front of the hotel. Looking at these luxury cars, it was hard to imagine such a luxury motorcade in such a backward place, but Lynch would not , because he is well aware that this is what wealth and power do.
Sitting in the car, watching the police on bicycles or on foot outside the window constantly beating the people to drive them away, providing a wide road for the motorcade, watching the eyes full of hatred or anger, Lynch was in a good mood.
He even hummed a traditional Baylor Commonwealth tune, a victory tune!
