Abram was seriously tempted.
But after careful consideration, he said: "But my people are all in the city of Ur, and we have a decent status in the city of Ur..."
Yu Zai shook his head: "Then do you want me to give you a decent status? Maybe you can move bricks faster than others?"
Abram suddenly turned red.
Yu Zai followed suit and said: "Station is earned through one's own work and strength. Since you are not as fast as others in moving bricks, why not tell me what is particularly powerful about you, such as philosophy and thought?"
When Abram heard this, his eyes lit up:
"Yes, I have an idea that is not recognized by the world!"
The Lord would give Abram a great nation and make his descendants as numerous as the stars.
But Azai would only treat him to a hot pot meal and then ask him to work overtime for Azai.
In the Bible, the reason why God chose Abram was not because he was pious, but because he was a descendant of Noah, and his birth and name were already known to Jehovah. It was tantamount to choosing a successor at random. , and marked him.
Therefore, Yuanzai really wants to hear some of Abram's own thoughts.
"I want to create an omnipotent god."
Abram told Zhuzai: "I once thought about how to unite people's hearts in an era without God."
"Lagash in the south gave birth to great men, and other city-states followed suit. They lit the fire in an era without gods, but they are still human beings."
"Humans can only serve as substitutes for gods, but cannot become true gods."
"But the gods of the past had too scattered functions and lacked the loftiness of divinity. Inanna, the goddess of Venus, would woo mortals, and Nabu, the god of knowledge, would also walk the streets."
"I want to build an altar on the mountain. This new god must be omniscient and omnipotent. He will reawaken the awe in people's hearts. When people also worship the new god, the war in the world will begin. It will stop."
"People all spoke the language of God. At that time, everyone in the world spoke the same language."
Abram kept talking to Tan Zai about his views and new ideas that he was proud of, and Tan Zai seemed to understand what he was hearing.
Co-authored by Jehovah, you made it up!
Yuzai asked: "So, if people don't even believe in the real God, how can they worship a God who doesn't exist and is made up?"
Abram said: "Yes, of course I thought of that!"
"So, God is just a guide, and the real thoughts, I'm pouring out to you."
"People believe in this omniscient and omnipotent God, not because they believe that this God can give people any benefits. Of course, having benefits is more conducive to publicity, but the most important thing is to learn something from God."
"Want to be like God, freer, happier, and stronger?"
"Then, a model is needed at this time. When this model appears, people will follow him, support him, and follow him."
“Some people drink beer when they feel sad, and some people want to sing when they are happy. Whether you are happy or sad, you can talk to God. Drinking beer will make you drunk, and singing will affect others. You don’t have these problems when you pray to God.”
"People are obsessed with and study this. They are actually studying themselves, understanding themselves, talking to themselves, and exploring the parts of their minds that they long for and that have been forgotten."
“The spiritual emptiness can be replenished and filled again, and for this I need to be a prophet, an agent of God.”
Yuzai nodded.
If you use yourself as an example and influence others, those who are trapped in disasters will become pious because of it. The people gathered can indeed be stable, and religion has always had the power to soothe people's hearts.
Everything Abram said was the rudiment of religion and all the meaning it gave birth to.
The purpose is to let people find their "missing part".
"It's very well said. This is indeed an idea that has never been seen before. Replacing the God of Nature with a man-made God. The man-made God is greater and colder than the God of Nature."
"The power of normal gods is unimaginable to mortals."
"The power of man-made gods depends entirely on the imagination of believers. Gods are only as powerful as their brains."
Yu Zai briefly analyzed it, and Abram was stunned for a moment. He felt that there was nothing wrong with it, but there was always something wrong.
But then, Yuzai told Abram a "story."
"Since you mentioned this thought, let me tell you another similar thought..."
"Once upon a time, in a very ancient era in our East, there was something called a ghost..."
........
At night, Abram was walking alone in the construction site of Tianfang City. He found a place to eat and saw people eating a white ball that was completely different from the local bread.
He took a bite and his eyes widened slightly.
The tastes of steamed buns and bread are naturally different, including the methods of making bread in the Sumerian region and the Egyptians, as well as the resulting tastes.
This is the hometown of wheat, so something like bread was born. In fact, bread was introduced to Europe because Moses traveled across the sea and brought the Egyptian version of bread to ancient Europe.
In ancient Egypt, bread making was done by women in the family. They leaned over and pulled the stone mill, first ground the wheat into flour, and sifted it with a sieve for later use. Then, they mixed the flour with yeast, milk, salt and spices, kneaded it into dough, and then divided the dough into a pile of one-dimensional pieces. Place the small round pieces on the doorstep to bask in the sun and let them ferment.
Finally, it is placed in a mold and baked into a specific shape, either round or flat.
The bread in the Sumerian region is similar to scones and is not particularly sweet. There are also differences between barley and wheat bread. Ordinary villages use barley to make bread. Compared with wheat, barley bread is more important in this matter. , the taste is not as good as wheat
In the city of Ur, a dinner was often made of wheat bread, served with lentils, purple onions (onions), cucumbers, lettuce and fresh grilled fish or grilled lamb. This was very important to Abram as a small slave owner. Say, totally affordable.
The taste of this steamed bun was something he had never tried before.
While chewing, Abram saw the roujiamo on the side. He bought it and tried it, and found that the taste was amazing.
The aroma of the meat and the sweetness of the cake mix evenly in your mouth.
Simple scones with meat, surprisingly delicious.
If there are purple onions and cucumbers at this time, it will taste better.
He also saw some thin pancakes with a green stick rolled up, which was called "onion". Abram did not expect that this thing was actually called "onion" after being translated from Eastern and Sumerian languages. onion"?
Dip the green onion into the meat sauce, and the burrito is stuffed in one bite.
In addition, there were noodles. When the soup noodles were placed in front of him, Abram smelled the smell and became hungry again.
Just as he sucked the noodles, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart when he thought about the final failure of the "Tiangui" mentioned by Yu Zai.
Maybe it was just a story, or maybe that era was too far away and people didn't have morality and awe.
