God's ventriloquism

Luther 2022-04-19 09:02:01

I don’t know if the history textbooks you study also say that Western missionaries hold Bibles in their hands but are wrapped in guns, ammunition, smoke, guns, opium, and enslave us mentally and physically. . Putting hope in the gods, and dying in the gods’ comfort, apart from the historical reasons for the authorities’ persecution of religions, is it not a cult that religious belief can transcend life and death? And apart from the depth and breadth of the spread of religion, from the perspective of language alone, how to discuss the concept of Jesus' salvation with fishermen and farmers who have no opportunity to receive education, and everyone can compete with "Padre" How many words of English?

    It is indeed a work of conscience. It can be seen that it took a lot of effort to present the complexity of the original work, but it has to be admitted that this adaptation may be a misunderstanding of Shusaku Endo or even a deliberate misinterpretation of the process of the two priests in the original work. The transcendence of the name has reached the reality of its universal belief, and the political oppression is overemphasized in the film, and the more direct interreligious exploration is missed. The original important Christian colonialism reflection disappeared.

    God film! Suffering is just the shallowest thing in belief. A truly firm belief is one that you can keep when you don't get the slightest response from the people you trust around you. When God does not exist, if you can decide the fate of others, then you are God, and you want to save them; when the light is gone, and you can give them the only guide, then you are the light, and you want to illuminate them.
