In fact, both the Chinese and Western worlds have religions. It's just because our country is huge and there are so many people, it always makes generations of leaders bother with ideological rule. Therefore, every dynasty change is an attempt to govern ideologically, so every dynasty change means an ideological invasion. Countless times of chaos came and went, and finally it turned into a situation that looked like a hundred schools of thought, but was actually a mess of sand. People either rush to stuff themselves into beliefs they can grasp, or they are skeptical of everything. In short, there is no such thing as an open mind.
Although religious ideas in the Western world have been used countless times to launch wars to maintain their rule, fortunately, they are inextricably linked to each other. Although Westerners have a rebellious spirit that we can’t match, there are also things that we can’t match. Nostalgic feelings. Their leaders are smarter. Instead of creating a new religion to lead the world through a long and difficult struggle, it is better to find a religion that is inextricably linked to the previous ruling ideas to get a good name. So no matter how things change, they all have a God in the end, but the servants of God are different. Unlike our country, Confucius and Laozi Han Feizi, plus Buddha and Marx. Each genre goes to a different future world, and he makes his appearance again after making you sing.
In this way, it is not difficult for us to understand the director's handling. They can be scientific, but science is ultimately under the leadership of religion and no matter how precise it is verified, it will eventually dare not deviate from the Western mass foundation. It is the religious belief that supports their development of science. In their world, science and religion are opposites and unity, rather than being enemies. Using Marx's theoretical explanation is that religion is absolute, science is relative, and science serves religion. Science has become a method and a method of verifying. When a certain time comes, religion will naturally give you shelter. This kind of inevitability is like the relationship between motion and stillness, untouchable.
Of course I will not cast aside this theory. I just feel that the director can’t justify what he said is that if God is really so kind and clear about rewards and punishments, why should Catherine’s husband and daughter be killed by those stupid people? If God brought rainwater to the local area because of killing two innocent lives, then what is the difference between God and Satan? Isn't this also a cult that devours human life? If the loss of a loved one is to be used as a test, it will not only show God's evil, but also show his abnormality.
Of course I am not saying that following God is to reap benefits, but people believe in a belief that it can bring peace of mind to people. If you want to gain the protection of a belief, you need so many inhuman tests. What's the difference with the VIP club where the underworld collects kids or enters some luxury goods?
So I humbly believe that belief, like science, is just a means, not any destination. Lazy people want it to give the answer to life, while stupid people obey it. In fact, we only need to use it to make our lives better, why let it lead us?
