God - a synonym for human weakness

The squid described by Verne in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea: eyes like discs; tentacles like tree stumps.

Huge squid, sea monsters, etc. are actually just a psychological hint of people's fear of facing the bottomless ocean.

People don't understand the world, and naturally they want to explain it.

Fear, why fear?
Afraid, why be afraid?
Pain, why pain?

At that time, in the era of floods, the era of extremely low productivity, and the era of extremely short life expectancy, people were insecure.

When people are trembling and trembling in their earthen houses with four walls on the night when the wind is howling, and they can't see their fingers, not everyone can stay sane.


In fact, many scientists have given very credible explanations for the so-called ten plagues in the Bible. If you are interested, you can read the explanations given by professors from various universities in the United States in "The Mystery of the Bible - Exodus".

Red blood? It's just algal blooms, nothing to do with God;
fish die? Just because algae blooms;
frogs appear? Just because it can't stay in the water anymore;
flies? Just because the frogs rot;
the plague? eldest son? Just because of an infectious disease; a plague of
locusts? Just because the weather is too dry;
dark? It was just because of the dust storm;

these were unexplainable phenomena for people at the time, but there was always an urge to try to explain everything.

Therefore, some mentally ill people, such as Moses, such as Jesus, were regarded as different people by others because they were the first to get sick.

When Moses went into a split personality, what I saw was the awe in Joshua's eyes, alas!

In fact, think about it, some African tribes, including Chinese historical records, have the phenomenon of so-called jumping gods. and convey what is called a message.

If a person is strong enough, he is the so-called God. Everything is under my control, I earn three meals a day, and I have a half-cent relationship with God; the hard work and sweat for success are all my own step by step, and I have a half-cent relationship with God.

But on the

contrary, if a person is spiritually empty, or weak, or sick, or defective, or violent, or narrow-minded, or irritable, or unethical, I would highly recommend that these people follow a certain religion.

It can be said that religion is actually just a constraint on the ignorance and ignorance of people in the barbaric society.

Perhaps, in the face of the piety of the disciples, Jesus himself may have laughed in his heart: a bunch of fools who just rule over you.

    I feel that Ridley Scott is the most snobby director in Hollywood. The special effects and grand scenes have a feeling of hundreds of millions of minutes, and under such premise, it is completely impossible to shape God into a moody bear child. Don't be afraid. The main character, Pharaoh, is so flat that he can't feel the specific character of this character at all. The shaping of Moxi is very pleasing, maybe because it is Bell's role.

    The book of Exodus is told in a normal way, the pharaoh looks stupid, and God is really cruel.

Exodus: Gods and Kings quotes

  • Hegep: Do you know what the problem is? People live too long these days. Every year the death rate lags further behind the birth rate. And these people, they reproduce like it's a sport.

    Moses: This is the problem? A growing work force?

    Hegep: Oh, no. No, of course not, it's good for production, of course it is. But only to a point. When that population wants you dead, yes, it's a problem. So either I'm given more troops to maintain order, or I start thinning out the herd.

  • Hegep: Let me tell you something about about Hebrews. They are a conniving, combative people. Do you know what 'Israelite' means in their own language? 'He who fights with God.'

    Moses: 'He who wrestles with God.' There is a difference.
