The history of mankind has reached the present day, and in a short period of time, there have been horrendous massacres, wars, and religious persecutions. Every page is written in blood with ignorance and prejudice. The massacre caused by faith is particularly shocking. Just because of a different point of view, you can take the lives of others, which, in the present view, should be unthinkable. But I do understand something. I have some friends who are believers. I am with them. I never comment on their beliefs and their gods. Of course, I also have my own ideas. Even if they preach the gospel, I just listen patiently. , And do not refute, after all, in my opinion, the differences in beliefs are small, but the friendship between friends is big.
Religious slaughter can be regarded as the most despicable act in history. Among the three major religions, Christianity should have slaughtered the most. Wars were launched in the name of religion, the Crusades, the slaughter of Native Americans, heretics, because They are heretics, so they should go to hell, then we will execute them. It’s ridiculous that although Judaism and Christianity hate the rest, they also imitate Arab and Egyptian circumcision. Like Arabs and Egyptians, they pay attention to distinguishing different meats, adopting their cleansing ceremony, line-up ceremony, and ordination. Dance, scapegoat, red cow. Jacob, the grandson of Abraham, casually married two sisters, both of whom were so-called idolaters and pagans. The prophet of the law Moses himself took the daughter of an idol-worshiping priest. What’s more ridiculous is that according to the chapter 27 of Leviticus, “whatever should be destroyed among mortals cannot be redeemed and must be put to death.” Moses found 32,000 virgins in Midian and ordered all men, women, and children Kill all. In this act of infinite loyalty to God, Moses may have forgotten that he was the son-in-law of Jethro, the High Priest of Midian. It was this Moses who, under the pretext that the Jews slept with the Midian women, sacrificed 24,000 of her clan to the gods (Numbers 25). Joshua, son of Nun, killed 12,000 inhabitants of Ai, using 31 local residents. A king priest God.
Now let’s take a look at how many of the Jews were wiped out because of God’s command during the time when the Jews wandered in the desert until the king was selected by lot: The
Levites were killed after worshiping the golden bull cast by the Moses brothers-23,000
Jews The Korah incident was burned to death-250
Killed in the same incident—14,700 people
died because of their relationship with the Midian girls—24,000
were involved in Jordanian places and were killed
because they could not say the word "Shan Biya"—42,000 were attacked by Benja The merciful
were killed—40,000 Benjamins killed by other tribes—45,000
Jehovah’s ark was snatched by the Philistines. To punish the Philistines and cause hemorrhoids, they sent the ark Go back to Persmarck and offer 5 golden anus and 5 golden mice to God. At this time, the Besmerians were executed for peeking at the Ark of the Covenant-a
very objective number of 5,070, 2,390,20 people, and this is their own Contained in the bible. This was only a period of time before the desert wandered to Saul.
The Crusades, the heretical inquisition, the Witch eradication movement, and the killings of Native Americans by the Puritans in the Americas are not counted, because it is difficult to count. This is not for Christianity. I just dislike religious fanaticism. As Voltaire said, "human Most of the past is, and will remain ridiculous and stupid for a long time: and the most ridiculous people are probably those who try to find some meaning in these absurd myths and mix a little rationality with religious fanaticism. people "
Loon in" tolerance "order which calls on people to maintain proper respect for the people who disagree with his own, was right, but unfortunately the people in ignorance of prejudice is too big, even to the point of life Competing , I only hope that people of different faiths can have a basic respect for life. Christians should not call us idolaters, Muslims and Buddhists should not be heretics, and atheists should not accuse believers of being ignorant.
Whether you believe it or not, what sect you believe in. Human slaughter is not attributed to a certain religion. Religion itself is not the cause. Human fanaticism is the root of evil. Religions cannot whitewash the evils of human nature. The killings they commit are the sins of all of us. Here we are all There is only one name—person. The English poet John Donne’s "For Whom the Bell Tolls" in the seventeenth century wrote, "Anyone’s death reduces me, because I participate in human beings, so I never Ask for whom the bell tolls, it is for me and for you"
