Can the state become a religion?

---------- "The Deification of the Nation" Lasky Can there be a kingdom of heaven in which the "country" is the belief in

human society? In other words, can the state exist if government agencies replace religious institutions? As an institution of faith, for thousands of years, religion has established the Inquisition for only a few hundred years. However, it was these hundreds of years that reversed the development trend of religion. Use violence to maintain faith, and ultimately ruin his own destiny.

The redemption of believers is generally through repentance, and at the same time, it is also to abandon oneself to approach infinity and achieve self-transcendence. Is religion falling apart because of violence that breaks faith, or is it the use of violent rules that alienates morality? I'm afraid the latter is fundamental. For the true believer will renounce himself for the rules of faith, as Socrates did.

From another perspective, if all citizens agree with the law and are willing to accept the ruling and punishment of the law, the country can get rid of violence and become a belief.

    When you have ideals and run for them or fear death, you are God.

    1. First, this is not a political film protesting the death penalty. Opposition to the death penalty is merely a vehicle for the expression of plot and themes. 2. Second, this is not a suspenseful movie for suspense's sake. The truth is only the core of the story but not the theme of the story, and it is not surprising that the plot is guessed and it does not matter. 3. The motif of the story is ideal value and respect for the lives of others. Ideals are above everything, and respecting the lives of others is the highest attitude of ideals. What he wants is not a result from beginning to end, but a promising future. In the end, he returned to his vision: the understanding of his family, the expectations of his children, the fulfillment of his confidant's dream, the relief of his friends, and his life returned to its original trajectory. 4. This is the story of a martyr, but his martyrdom is not the law, but the other side of idealism, and the confrontation with the death penalty is more like a bonus sugar. 5. Although it is difficult, try to be a person who will never interfere with other people's decisions and life for the sake of me, even if the stake is life.
