Todd asked Abel softly, "In heaven, do you see everything you want to see?"

A pious expression appeared on Abel's face: "Yes. I never thought that one day I could be so close to the abode of God. In the kingdom of heaven, everything seemed so perfect, too perfect."

Todd put his chin in his right hand, looked at Abel and said, "I have a question, you used to be a member of Jade, why did the other three abandon the religious road, and only you stayed."

Aberle pointed his finger at the top of his lifeless head, and said in a semi-ridiculous tone: "Because I am smarter than the other three, and I think more."

Hearing what the other party said, Todd couldn't help but shook his head and smiled: "If Terrence hasn't left, I'm afraid there will be a quarrel here now."

Aberle owed Todd and slowly said, "People often say that truth is an endless road. In fact, the farther you go, you will find that there are thousands of roads in this world, and truth is just one of them. A small part of it."

"When a person is young, what he sees and hears is nothing more than something instilled by others. Few people think about the essence of things. As a teenager, human beings begin to come into contact with knowledge and cases, and under the guidance of others, they begin to recognize this. In the world, they are easily misled by speech at this time, mistakenly thinking that what others say is true, and what they see and hear is everything."

"In the future, as people grow older, people will be exposed to more and more unexplainable and completely contradictory things, and even begin to doubt all the common sense they have originally learned in life."

Aberle paused for a while, and then said: "It is only at this time that we can say that mankind is really trying to understand the world."

"The old stubborn Terrence often said that truth can explain everything. But he never thought about it. When a problem is explained by truth, there will be more unexplainable problems, just like a jar full of insects is opened. That way, the crawling is everywhere. Among them, some can try to explain with the truth, and some are completely contrary to the truth."

"They said that the world is made up of particles, so open these particles and what will be inside"

"They said that this world is a sphere, located in a galaxy. Then jump out of this galaxy, what is it like outside, whether there will be a wall at the far end, announcing the end of space"

"They said that the creator of mankind is not God, but nature. Then who is the creator of nature who created this creator"

Todd leaned forward and asked Abel: "It sounds like you don't approve of the truth."

Aberle said: "No, on the contrary. I am not against the truth, nor do I deny religion. For me, most of the content of this world is unknown, and any definition of matter and spirit at this stage of mankind It's not rigorous guesses and inferences."

Todd looked at the bishop's robe on Abel's body and said, "So, you are an agnostic."

Aberle touched the top of his head with the palm of his hand and thought for a while and said: "Agnosticists believe that the world is unknowable. Any attempt by humans to interpret the origin of the world is futile. But I oppose this view, and I admit it. Try to bring progress. Even if human beings are small and humble, they can finally solve all the mysteries of the origin of the world through continuous learning and cognition. Therefore, I yearn for the truth and believe that the truth can give mankind the driving force to move forward; but I am kind to religion and hope that human beings can use religion to defeat themselves."

Todd asked: "Use religion to defeat yourself"

"Human beings are made up of human beings and thoughts. They do not have the powerful insight and tenacity of gods. When facing the unknown, they can only choose more calming options to escape and comfort themselves. But this kind of people Quiet options often cause delays in human progress."

"I use death as an explanation."

"For those who do not believe in religion, the end of life is a cruel and trembling result. At the time of death, all senses, including taste, touch, hearing and vision, will fail, and people will be in a dark In the bottomless space, the concept of time is forever lost, waiting for death to come. When the last breath is swallowed and the person is buried in the soil, the corpse will become food for maggots, and the mind will completely dissipate as the brain withers. ."

"Man will completely disappear into this world, without leaving behind anything and will."

"The kind of thinking that non-religious humans hold will make them hold the most pessimistic negative emotions about death. The most common view is that life is the most important thing, and once you die, you can't take anything away. Therefore, we must have fun in time. This kind of thinking will make human beings prioritize the survival of the individual over the survival of the race. The direct result is that someone will use bad methods to harm the interests of the public for his own self-interest."

"The existence of religion ~lightnovelpub.net~ brings the warning of the gods to mankind, so that believers no longer prioritize self-interest."

Todd frowned and asked, "But why did Heavenly Father Church become what it is now"

Abel sighed: "The meaning of religion itself is to teach humans to abandon arrogance and respect the unknown. On the one hand, it gives believers spiritual peace and makes them scrupulous in their words and deeds; on the other hand, it allows believers to have a sense of the future Have sustenance."

"However, with the development of doctrine and the evolution of religion, the doctrine of God has gradually been distorted in the hands of people, and finally completely changed its original intention. It has become a means for the minority of the Holy See to gain power and gather wealth."

Abel shook his head helplessly: "As often mentioned in poems, he should have been the darling closest to God, but now he has become the most depraved sinner."

Recalling what the church had done over the years, Todd was silent for a long time, and then said: "Let's not mention this for the time being, do you have any plans for the dual teaching unit mentioned above?"

"Although after the war in the Holy Acropolis, the direct military power in the hands of the radicals of the church has been greatly reduced, but if you count the knights, believers, guards of the cult, worshippers, etc., there are about 9,000 people in total. ."

Todd said nonchalantly: "These forces are not a threat to me."

Aberle took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Todd: "I know, but according to the information provided by the royal spies, the war lunatics seem to have approached the group of infidels in the south. Bought a lot of weapons in his hands."

Todd seemed to have heard the funniest thing in the world: "You mean, the church bought guns and artillery from the Empire"

Aberle raised his head and looked at Todd: "This is not surprising. When chased to the corner, the gentlest rabbit will open its mouth and bite."
