Crossover in the Anime World

Neji thought that although Duran was very strong, he was very careless in dealing with students' practical problems. What does it mean to be 'very religious'? I risked becoming an enemy of the wood industry by challenging the outdated system, walking on thin ice, but the other party seemed to be playing a game.

Dulan is actually serious. After all, religion can indeed fight against blood.

Although the original religion existed to deify blood, religions have the need to develop and expand and will absorb other people.

The most famous thing is that after the death of Jesus, St. Paul preached to non-Jews, greatly expanding the scope of religion.

There is also Buddhism to combat the caste system.

Polytheism also aims to expand the scope of blood and absorb different families together.

Therefore, bloodlines will use religion to deify themselves, such as saying that they are the descendants of gods, or that they are some kind of demigod, or that they are black birds and are ordered from heaven. But as religion develops, bloodlines will also be restricted, mainly to allow new people to join. If bloodlines are not restricted, why should newcomers join? If new people don't join and start a new circle of their own, religion may be replaced.

For example, although the caste system is the core of Tianzhu religion, the religion also states that 'a person's behavior is Brahmin, he is Brahmin', very similar to Confucius' king, minister, father, father and son. I hope everyone does not rely on blood to obtain status, but It depends on behavior.

Also regarding caste, Buddhism also proposes the equality of all living beings.

These are all efforts made by religion, but the limitations of religion are indeed very large, and they can easily be exploited by powerful landlords. As a result, religion has developed ideas such as justification by faith, epiphany, etc., which is actually the decentralization of the power of doctrinal interpretation.

There are many rules in religion, usually set by landlords, such as vegetarianism, not killing, etc. In this way, they restrict ordinary people's practice and prevent ordinary people from being equal to them.

Especially Taoist cultivating immortality is completely a game played by powerful landlords and wealthy couples. Ordinary people can only encounter adventures in novels. Generally speaking, the land of the wealthy couple is in the hands of powerful landlords, so they can make elixirs and become immortals, which ordinary people can't even think about.

In Buddhism, ordinary people have the opportunity to become a Buddha after enlightenment. Therefore, the Sixth Patriarch Huineng became the only local person who could spread the scriptures. Other scriptures were introduced to the Central Plains from outside.

Later, Confucian Taoism came up with a method of studying things and practicing principles, which believed that the world is formed by Qi according to the rules of heaven. Everyone can become a saint by studying things and practicing principles.

In the era of Wang Yangming, the study of mind was on the rise. It was no longer necessary to study things and reason. You only needed to unite knowledge and action to become a saint. You could even become a saint by helping an old lady cross the road or picking up a fallen trash can on the side of the road.

The same is true for justification by faith in the West. In the past, the power of interpretation was in the hands of the priest. With justification by faith, each believer can interpret the doctrine according to his or her own understanding.

In short, religion has developed from blood, to powerful people, to every believer. The god of religion has also become a symbol of absolute spirituality, an abstract absolute existence without an opposite.

However, religion has many shortcomings, and the biggest one is that what should we do if some people don’t believe in God?

I just don’t believe it, no matter how good it is. It will be difficult for religion to cooperate with these guys, because they deny the existence of God. If you cooperate with them, it will be easy for believers to be shaken.

After all, they can only participate in cooperation if they believe in God, and others can cooperate if they don’t believe in God. Isn’t this just a joke?

Religion cannot solve the problem of whether others believe or not.

The Taoist solution is the best at this point. Believe it or not, Taoism does not respect a certain god, but the Tao. What it seeks is not to spread the gospel, but to transcend the three realms and five elements. Therefore, the main thing is to practice on your own, rather than with others. debate.

In Tianzhu religion, it is believed that all gods are the incarnations of Brahman, so no matter what god you believe in, you actually believe in Brahman, and you can even curse the gods through penance. Many Tianzhu mythological stories are routine. A person practices hard, obtains the blessing of God, and becomes stronger. So this person goes to beat the Emperor of Heaven. Then the Emperor of Heaven can only ask God for help, and God will use a trap to make this person abandon him. His own penance, losing his ability, and then being killed.

Or a person is practicing hard and is not blessed by God, so he curses the gods in turn. No matter how powerful the gods are, they must bear the harm of the curse until he meets the conditions to resolve the curse.

In short, if a person practices hard, he can receive blessings or activate curses. The reason for this is that even gods must accept the limitations of Brahman. God is only one aspect of Brahman and is imperfect. Mortals can also fight back against gods as long as they meet Brahman's rules.

The gods must maintain their status and cannot deviate from the dharma of Brahman.

This also solves the problem of not believing in God. Even if you don’t believe in God, you still have to accept the restrictions of Brahman. Everything is under Brahman, even God.

Buddhism is theoretically atheistic. Buddha is not a god, but an enlightened person. However, many people worship Buddha as a god. It is also abhorrent to those who do not believe in Buddhism.

Religion also takes great pains to deal with the problem of not believing in God, but unfortunately it is not very effective. After all, if you don't believe it, you don't believe it. Unless you let the gods come down to earth and show their spirits, you just don't believe it.

"Although the shortcomings of religion are obvious, the advantages are also great. Promoting religion in Konoha Village can build power as quickly as possible. Because there are many people in Konoha Village who lack faith, and ninjas are a high-risk job, so tell the ninjas In the world after death, it is also a good comfort for ninjas to let them know that they fight for God and go to heaven after death." Duran said: "So I strongly recommend that you engage in religious activities. And religious activities are easy to do. Become a villain.”

Neji also had to admit that there were indeed many people who lacked faith. Let alone Konoha Village, it was the same across the five major countries. But he doesn't like to pretend to be gods and ghosts. Religion will inevitably deceive people.

"I don't like religion, and powerful ninjas can move mountains and seas by themselves. Just like gods, there is no need to believe in gods." Neji said: "Besides, many ninjas are demigods themselves. They really engage in religion and rely on religion to limit gods. I don’t think it’s realistic. It’s probably God using religion to make things bigger.” He has concerns.

Dulan wanted to watch a show, but Neji wanted to put it into practice. This was related to the future of the entire Konoha Village, including his own future, so he had to be cautious.

"There is no best-of-both-worlds solution in this world. If you want to change things in a short time, you have to take strong medicine." Du Lan said: "Otherwise, according to the normal development rules, you will not be able to change the fate of the clan and branch families in a short time. As a Villains need to be effective in a short time, and they need to be urgent and impatient. If you make a plan for a hundred years, you won't be a villain at all."

Neji said that Duran was just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously. The strong medicine was indeed effective but had serious side effects. As the saying goes, diseases come like a mountain and go away like silk threads. You still have to take your time to treat the disease. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

"I am not a villain to begin with, and what I want to do is not a bad thing. As I said, whether a villain or a hero is not decided by me, nor by the enemy, but depends on the third party. What I have to do is to let the third party support me. Let those third parties who are suppressed by bloodline stand on my side." Neji is not stupid. After learning from Duran, he did not fully absorb it, but took the essence and discarded the dross, and screened Duran's suggestions.

Duran, the teacher, can no longer influence Ningji, his thoughts have matured. He is no longer fighting against the clan for himself, but for thousands of ordinary people. This requires a century-old plan. Although the powerful medicine of religion has immediate results, he does not want to benefit from it but leave trouble for the world.

By this time, Neji had outgrown his vulgar taste.
