Chapter 1,738 Internal and external difficulties(1/2)

Apocalypse doesn't like religion because he is very arrogant and thinks that he is a god and everyone needs to kneel down and worship him. Therefore, in Egypt under his rule, all temples in Egypt are not allowed to have statues of other gods, only his statues are allowed to be left.

But the problem is that if God is right next to you, religion will not spread at all. Even those deceptive cults will use gimmicks, such as believing in God or Buddha.

A statue is required for worship, and then the leader becomes God’s spokesperson, son, prophet, etc. In short, it’s all a routine.

But there will never be a situation where a god is right in front of you...because if the god does not worship, there will be no sense of holiness. After all, everyone worships the god, to put it bluntly, it is for their own needs, and some people worship the god for the sake of having something.

Some people worship God because they have regrets, and some people worship God because they are afraid. In short, no one worships God simply.

When a living God is in front of you but cannot satisfy you, you will naturally not worship him. But it is different when God is worshiped, because those who oppress you in the name of God will tell you,

Your heart is not sincere, you are not respectful to God, you are guilty, you... In short, they have thousands of ways to tell you that God has not responded to your prayers, and the reason is not God, but you.

But if a person’s request is inexplicably successful, then it’s easy. Congratulations, you have been favored by God. Everything about you is because of God’s arrangements! So you must believe in God more devoutly!

Therefore, Apocalypse has always believed that he is a god, and has always emphasized that he is a god, but those slaves are still willing to risk execution to secretly believe in those false gods.

This made Tianqi very unhappy, so he hated religion.

But after coming to the real society, he found that he seemed to be able to use religion, especially in a place with such a strong religious atmosphere. In fact, Egypt has always been a secular society, and religion does not have a strong say here. But as society

After the turmoil, economic collapse, and people's lives in dire straits, the role of religion in soothing people's hearts has been infinitely magnified. The reality is already so miserable, why are we not allowed to seek peace in religion?

In particular, although Egypt has always been committed to secularization, religious forces have never given up. On the contrary, the more they are suppressed, the more deeply rooted they are in the hearts of the people.

In fact, Egypt's economy has never been better. The foundation is too poor. Coupled with the failure of the war, the entire country has fallen into a kind of decadence. This decadence is not only the morale of the people, but also the failure of the war, which has destroyed the finances.

.

Later, the president was assassinated by religious extremist forces, which led to the military taking power, which led to the military's influence extending into all aspects of the country. Even the economy was affected by the military. Can this country be better? (This is also the fault of the first two presidents)

As a result, the country's economy has been sluggish, and the natural talent is really not that good.

Amid internal and external troubles, religious influence has become a stubborn disease.

But for weather, this kind of stubborn disease is just right. Because religion can naturally win over the people at the bottom.

At the same time, the people at the bottom are really easy to fool!

Use the guise of religion to deceive others.

How did Apocalypse do that?

Do you know Zhang Jiao?

That’s right! Tianqi heals people!

Although it sounds cliché, the point is it works!

Those people at the bottom are already poor, and medical treatment is always the biggest expense. They don't dare to get sick at all. Once they get sick, the minor illness is okay, they can just buy some medicine and tolerate it and it will be over. Once they get seriously ill, they will either go bankrupt and have nothing, or they will go bankrupt and have nothing plus no one.

.

I really don’t dare when I’m sick!

But it doesn’t matter, come find Tianqi!

No medicine, no examination, just a touch and it will be fine.

If this isn't a miracle, what is it?

So very quickly, Apocalypse attracted a large number of believers.

Although Islam clearly states that Muhammad is the last prophet, it is absolutely against the teachings for them to follow the revelation as the new prophet. But in fact... the real poor people have always had a partial understanding of the teachings.

In fact, this is the norm. After all, both the Bible and the Quran are large volumes. Many people will never be able to read them all in their lifetime... As for those who have memorized them all and studied them deeply, there are even fewer of them.

This is also the reason why there are priests and imams, because ordinary people need them to explain what the scriptures tell them about what is written in the scriptures.

Just like many Buddhists, except for a few ordinary verses, they don’t know any other scriptures... They know more Buddha statues than scriptures.

Religion is more of a lifestyle habit.

Of course they are in awe of religion, but awe cannot replace real life.

And now, the gods they fear cannot save them, but the people in front of them can!

So what's wrong with him becoming a prophet?

As for those extremists... let's put it this way, after the Apocalypse appeared, some of these people were more fanatical than ordinary people, and some of them disappeared permanently.

Fear is the most powerful weapon used by religion to control people.

For example, all religions will tell you not to do bad things, not to despise gods, and not to rebel against the church, otherwise you will go to hell.

Or reincarnate as a beast.

At the same time, violence is also a powerful means for religion to control people. After all, going to hell or being reincarnated as beasts is what happens after they die, and if they explode, they will die.

But when these violence encounters a more violent existence... it has no effect.



In just half a month, the whole of Cairo fell into a strange kind of frenzy.

Because those superheroes all believe in the new prophet, and they all use the name of the prophet to eradicate evil. This undoubtedly further enhances the prestige of the prophet.

Tianqi also moved from a private house that was originally a tomb to live in the famous mosque in Cairo - the Sultan Hassan Mosque!

By the way, the Sultan Hassan Mosque is close to another very famous Rufai Mosque. Even the outermost gate is the same one. The two were built in different years. The Sultan Hassan Mosque was built in 1356.

, the Refai Mosque was built in 1869 (completed in 1912). The Refai Mosque is the resting place of the last member of the Egyptian royal family, Governor Ismail, and the last Shah of Iran, Pahlavi II. The inner walls

It is decorated with gorgeous tiles by believers and is magnificent. The Sultan Hassan Mosque is a famous mosque in Egypt. It is located at the end of Muhammad Ali Street in the southeast of Cairo. It is a group of magnificent buildings built by Sultan Hassan of the Mamluk Dynasty.

It covers an area of ​​7906 square meters. It was built in 1356 and completed in 1363. The entire project took 33 years to complete. It is full of Islamic architectural art. Some people think it is the most beautiful mosque in the Middle East and is described as the pearl of Islamic architecture. It

It is one of the representative buildings of the Mamluk Dynasty. It is solemn and solemn. There are two minarets in the temple. The southern tower is 85 meters high, which is the highest in Cairo and is equivalent to a 30-story building. It is very difficult to climb the minaret, but from

It offers a panoramic view of Cairo including the pyramids.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The building is designed in a cross shape, including major buildings such as the Grand Mosque, the seminary, Sultan Hassan's tomb and minaret. The cross-shaped design embodies the strict balance and

Symmetry, symbolizing eternity, gives the temple its majestic beauty.

The entire mosque is famous for its beauty and solemnity, and is even called the most beautiful mosque in the Islamic world.

As for why Tianqi moved in...it's really not easy.

Now this mosque is actually managed by the government, but as those so-called 'superheroes' became famous, the government immediately focused on these mutants, and their first reaction was naturally to suppress them.

There is no way. Egypt was determined to be a secular country when it was founded. No matter which generation of leaders tried their best to suppress religious forces. When they heard that a group of superpowers were causing trouble under the guise of prophets, they naturally suppressed them as soon as possible... But

Soon, they gave up.

Because I can't beat it at all...

Although Egypt is a country controlled by military personnel, it... really cannot be fought.

So they turned to seek cooperation.

After all, there are many benefits to having superheroes. For example, Benjamin and Kai are the best examples. Benjamin and Kai Qiang are bound together, which can win him a lot of votes.

Even if something goes wrong, there are two completely different levels of security if there are superheroes and without superheroes.

So those Brotherhood mutants made the request without hesitation.

The Prophet lives in the best mosque, is there any problem?

The Egyptian government is very open to this. Anyway, this thing is public property, not their private property. If you give it to them, you give it to them. Besides, the ownership is still theirs! Urgent?

Is the Brotherhood of Mutants going to the top?

of course not!

Cooperating with the government here will only further build our reputation!

The prophet was recognized by the government!

In fact, the government has never admitted it. Even in the Tenghe news reports, the name of the prophet did not appear. The government actually wanted to deal with it coldly. They sought cooperation and the other party agreed. That would be easy. It would be a great thing to be able to exchange benefits!

As long as it corrodes slowly, one day they will be in cahoots with each other.

Isn’t it great if everyone makes money?

As for Tianqi's pretentiousness, in their view, it is just a trick of a cult to defraud money... Where are there no cults these days?

Cooperation between cults and the government is nothing new, and Bangzi is very familiar with this.

Doesn’t the West say that we are not free?

Look at religious freedom! Isn’t it free enough? In the Islamic world, religious freedom is definitely ahead of the times!

They threw the constitution on the ground and trampled it (the Egyptian constitution stipulates that Islam is the state religion).

In short, it just highlights a fool.

Yes, the Egyptian government did not publicize this matter, at least people in other parts of Egypt did not know that there was such a prophet. But the people in Cairo knew it!

Although the government is very arrogant, it is still a legitimate government and has credibility.

When Tianqi went to the Hassan Mosque to stay, who the hell didn’t know that this was recognized by the government?

At least the people at the bottom of Cairo know.
