Theism has always had a great influence in the Western world. Although with the development of science and technology, the Roman Church cannot excommunicate the king, interfere with the king's marriage (especially Henry VIII), or organize crusade as it did in the past.
Pagans and English Puritans cannot launch witch hunting campaigns at will, but religion still affects all aspects of the secular world.
Especially in the United States, the world's number one technological power, religion also has an extremely powerful influence.
For example, when witnesses attend, they need to press their hands on the Bible to swear an oath, otherwise the testimony will have no legal effect; presidential candidates must obtain the blessing and prayer of a pastor. After being elected, they also need to press their hands on the Bible before they can officially take office, and the president must appoint a White House official.
Chaplain; In the US military, there must also be a chaplain. If the chaplain does not pray, the soldiers may even be unwilling to go to war; there are even seminaries in famous universities, and the admission scores of these seminaries and certain sciences
The college is not inferior at all.
As mentioned before, theists claim to be God's shepherds.
Americans consider themselves to be soldiers of God, and the wars they initiate are all just wars. They are liberating ignorance and saving the world, because they are blessed by God, they are the most correct in the world, and others must learn from them.
.As for whether anyone will find out that the reason for launching the war is actually oil or something else, it depends on how politicians deceive the people.
Today, at least half of Americans believe that religion should influence science and politics, which is one of the reasons why anti-intellectual behavior often occurs in theistic countries. In Salomon’s view, if these Saxon barbarians hold syringes one day, they will
It’s not surprising to pour disinfectant into your body.
When the living Athena appeared in front of him, Salomon did not believe in him. He didn't even believe in Emperor Weishan, so how could he believe in God? In his mind, God was probably on the same level as Odin.
exists, and Emperor Vishan is a magical entity that exists in the multiverse. It is clear at a glance which one is stronger and which one is weaker, not to mention the real god in the universe, the biggest backer of Kama Taj, the Eternal God. Even for the Eternal God, Salomon
It's just an expression of respect.
Salomon concluded that religion was of no use to the development of mankind when the gods could not bestow divine magic.
But Salomon will not interfere. Now Western society has exhausted the scientific enterprising spirit of the Renaissance, but the world is not peaceful. The successive alien invasions will make the people on earth understand that they have no role in the universe.
Not alone. In order to survive in this universe, human beings must develop technology, and religion will naturally be eliminated. Salomon does not need to do anything to see the end of theology.
When Salomon informed the Supreme Master of his conclusion, the Supreme Master was very satisfied with Salomon's thinking, and she rewarded Salomon with a bottle of soda. In the Supreme Master's knowledge, Salomon was
The birth of Salomon was full of doubts from the beginning. The stigmata most likely came from heaven, which is why Salomon possesses a magical talent that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve. As the supreme mage who abducted Salomon into Kama Taj
Naturally, he does not want the disciples he trains to become the bastards of extradimensional creatures. Only a Holy Son who does not believe in God can protect the earth until the new Supreme Mage grows up.
Salomon, who was currently checking information on the top floor of Colin Manor, had already developed a contempt for Barnabas.
You have become a vampire, so don’t dream about being able to ascend to heaven. Isn’t it interesting to become a petitioner? Whether a person can ascend to heaven is judged according to the standards of Judaism, Anglicanism, Orthodoxy or Catholicism.
As for heaven, I am afraid that only a very small number of people in modern society can reach that standard. If you don't believe it, just open your browser history and take a look, and you will understand how many sins you have committed.
——————————————
This is already the fifth day - Salomon spent a long time screening books. Every day he would be busy until late at night before returning to Kama Taj, and would open them again in the hall of Colin Manor during the day.
The Corinthian family also turned a blind eye to the portal after being surprised at first. They could see the sparks lighting up in the living room and Salomon hurriedly walking upstairs every morning.
There were many heavy books and yellowed scrolls piled at his feet. These were all books he had excluded. Although there were one or two small magics recorded in them, what he needed came from the "Book of Darkness"
》The black magic is far different from that of Salomon, and the harm is basically zero. But after the last conversation, Barnabas no longer took the initiative to appear in front of Salomon. A guy without faith really frightened him.
As one of the first families to arrive in the American continent to pioneer, the Corinth family's coat of arms has a seahorse pattern. The seahorse coat of arms symbolizes the power of water and a symbol of safe sea routes. In those days, no one relied on the ocean for business.
Not superstitious, Barnabas had long since become a faithful Puritan under the influence of his parents.
In his view, no faith equals no bottom line. The vampire has no idea whether Salomon will keep his promise and will not in turn destroy him and Victoria. Even God cannot guarantee whether Salomon can keep his promise.
He felt that a big trouble was hanging over the Corinthian family, and now Salomon was more disgusting in the eyes of vampires than sunlight, silverware and garlic combined.
Salomon, who didn't know that he was already a "ghost", stretched hard, and he could even hear the clear sound of his spine stretching. When he opened the curtains, he found the crimson sunset and the gray
Dark clouds mingled together, dyeing the distant sea surface an ambiguous deep pink. If Salomon hadn't felt sore in his neck, he might not have been aware of the passage of time.
And his results are obvious. There are still several books on the table. Although they are full of nonsense that now seems to be fallacies, Salomon still found the content he wanted. Although he did not understand
He read the long spell, but he could also understand the harm of this spell. Now, he needed to investigate the source of this spell, because the Lord's order was to find the "Dark God Book", not one or two
The spell can be exchanged.
This is an alchemy book written in Latin. This is not surprising. Transforming humans into vampires is a transmutation of the nature of life. It is normal for it to be classified in alchemy books.
Salomon found the author's name on the title page of the book. It was an Arabicized name "Jabir", and the medieval Latin spelling was "Geber". The name Jabir often appeared in the most popular names in the thirteenth century.
Among the influential Latin alchemical works, the Latin spelling of the name Gabe belongs to another person. He just adopted the name of the Aragonese alchemist and he also adopted the typical guidance of Jabir's work.
style, and rewrote some chapters of Jabir's "Seventy Books".
The author even added some grammatical structures and expressions that were translated into Latin but seemed to be typical Arabic in his own text, in an attempt to pass them off as real and improve the credibility of his work. As for why he did this, then
It has something to do with the spread of alchemy to Europe after the exchange between Christian civilization and Arab civilization, so I won’t go into details here.
All in all, according to the research of later historians, the author behind this "Gelber" is most likely Paul of Taranto, an Italian Franciscan priest and teacher - because Paul wrote a nearly contemporary alchemical text
, is very similar in style and content to the text of "Gelber". The original text is now stored in the library of Kamal Taj, and Salomon has read it.
After confirming the next itinerary, Salomon put the book into the dimensional bag. He still had something to do. Barnabas's conjecture was indeed correct. Salomon would not abide by the agreement because of this.
There are also dark magical creatures in this small town.
Tonight, Salomon joins the hunt.
