Subtitle of this chapter: Economics of the Atheists

………………………………………

"If it is not necessary, do not add entities!"

The Occam razor rule is naturally very stylish, and it has a better edible flavor when paired with Latin!

It is definitely like "people who require freedom are destined to be slaves." What is "free is the most expensive, especially sex." What is "ugly and unjust." It has the effect of morning bells and evening drums on people.

Captain Arnold blurted out: "It turns out that Mr. Yuan is an atheist..."

As soon as these words were spoken, strange looks appeared on the faces of the three officers.

In fact, those who know something about the United States will know that "City on the Mountain" is a religious secular country. Well, there is no problem in the reverse direction. "The Chosen Country" is a secular religious country.

In the eyes of Americans at this time, atheists were probably a little more terrifying than communists.

Incredibly, until 1969, American libraries generally did not collect books on atheism written by atheists. The Library of Congress only collected 32 English works on atheism, of which 26 still refuted atheism.

The first time the American news media allowed atheists to preach their faith was in 1946. After five years of hard work, with the approval of the Federal Communications Commission (FCCC), a World War I veteran named Robert Thoroldscott finally got the opportunity to preach his atheistic view on a half-hour program in a San Francisco radio station (KQW), which shocked the whole country. The U.S. Congress investigated the Federal Communications Commission and held a seven-day hearing.

Later, when the famous actor Ma Long Brando appeared in court to testify, he refused to swear to God on the grounds that he was an atheist, which caused another sensation. At that time, Americans all climbed the moon.

In short, even a hundred years later, it takes a little courage to claim to be an atheist in the United States, let alone the United States in 1921.

Major Cao Linsheng immediately smoothed out and said, "Captain, you misunderstood. Most of us Chinese are pantheist, and I think liberal scholars like Neo are likely to be deist like Voltaire, Rousseau and Montesquieu..."

"No, no, no..." Our Master Yuan completely ignored Major Cao's kindness and shook his head like a rattle, "I am neither a pantheist nor a deist. And I am not an agnostic without religious beliefs, I am..."

“explictatheist!”

When the three officers heard Yuan Yanshu admit that he was a "strong atheist", that is, he was not only a person who had no religious beliefs but also completely did not believe in the existence of gods, the expressions of the three officers became even more subtle.

But it doesn't matter to the other two. Our Master Yuan focused all his attention on Major Patton, so he found that this guy seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that the "historical" record is correct, and George Smith Patton Jr. is likely to be a less determined atheist.

He himself said that he had three "shorts", the first is wealth, the second is to show off... Well, my Majesty Trump and his national husband have something to say. The third is that he is not pious to God.

The so-called "ungodly" these days is actually just not believing it.

It was also since he began that the Sunday preaching time in the US military was limited to 15 minutes. Moreover, he had complaints about the military priest system and privately called him "a political commissar sent by God."

These records in Patton's resume made Master Yuan think that he is actually a hidden atheist. He may not be so firm and a little confused, but there is definitely a problem with the issue of faith.

"Gentlemen, your first plate." At this moment, the waiters began to serve the dishes.

Oh, now it is really worthy of the four words "Railway Age".

Yuan Yan suddenly saw this and exclaimed in her heart. Don’t talk about the dishes, this tableware is really exquisite. The plates are all high-end porcelain, and the bottom of the plate depicts the pattern of Pennsylvania state flower-mountain laurel, which looks high-end, atmospheric and high-end.

In fact, the food truck service level in the American Railway era is really no less than that of ordinary high-end restaurants, and of course the price is also exciting enough.

Our Master Yuan ordered the first plate of A set meal is a foie gras sauce that many people will feel so fat that they get greasy. Anyway, as long as there is this broken system, he will not have the trouble of the three highs. Just eat it openly.

Our Master Yuan did not forget to brainwash others while eating. There was no way, and the time to complete the task was too tight.

"For the first time I know that the food on the train is so delicious..." Yuan Yan suddenly exclaimed and said, "Three sirs, I know what you are going to say. Wait, listen to me first."

"In fact, as far as we economists' view, atheism is undoubtedly the most cost-effective choice for human beings."

He picked up the Coke next to him, took a sip and smacked his lips and asked, "Major Patton, take the liberty to ask, what wine do you like the most?"

"whisky."

"Oh, what about Captain Arnold?"

“Wine Bar.”

"Lance, where are you?"

"Me, Shaoxing wine."

"Well, I love drinking wujiapi." Yuan Yan added, and then said, "Look, you can only know which wine you like to drink after drinking a lot of wine."

"So, if you haven't tried many religions, how can you confirm that the religion you believe in now is the most plea to your appetite?"

Major Patton coughed and said, "Mr. Yuan, religion is probably not about whether it depends on the right appetite, but about whether it depends on the right or wrong?"

"clatter!"

Our Master Yuan specially put down the knife and fork, snapped his fingers and said, "That's right, Major Patton, you're right. It's right or wrong, this is exactly what I want to say next!"

“Same, if you haven’t tried many religions, how can you confirm that the religion you believe in is correct?”

He spread his hands and said, "Three sirs, you know that there are so many religions in this world, and their precepts and doctrines are even more diverse. The most critical issue is that they will still conflict with each other."

"Take food as an example, some don't let people eat beef, some don't let people eat pork, some don't let people eat dog meat, some don't let people eat fish... Some don't let people eat meat at all. So what should we do? Are we going to be vegetarians?"

That’s right, Westerners also eat dog meat, dog meat, and dog meat!

Until the 21st century, the Germans were still making dog meat sausages; the Swiss made dog meat into jerky and cured meat because they believed that this thing could cure coughs; the French had a famous dish - stuffed milk dogs, which could be eaten in Paris if they were lucky; there was no need to mention the places where wild dogs in Australia were plagued with heroic spirits, they were roasted on charcoal fires.

"Okay, actually, there are risks when eating only vegetarian dishes. There are five meats in Buddhism, and you can't even eat garlic."
