Chapter 1485: Chapter 483: The Best Cultivation Vessel

The waves of the Yangtze River push each other, and the previous waves die on the shore.

In its early days, Catholicism promoted "justification by works," with "righteousness" referring to the righteous in the Bible, who are God’s darlings and those near to God.

But this ’works’ didn’t refer to good deeds; it meant spending money on indulgences from the Holy See. The more you bought, the closer you were to God.

So everyone saw that this was just fooling people, and Martin Luther introduced "justification by faith," which later developed into the Lutheran denomination.

As long as you believe in God, you are righteous, without needing to buy indulgences from the Holy See.

This approach was indeed advanced at the time, but couldn’t withstand everyone wanting to use scriptural authority for personal gain and reduce the moral guilt from their evil deeds.

They understood it as—everything in the world is arranged by God, so my bad deeds are arranged by God. Can what God arranges be considered bad? I’m merely following the divine will, so you deserve to die; your death is just a part of your redemption.

I do not kill you, but save you!

Leaving all problems to a nonexistent greater power is crude but very effective.

So empty your mind, abandon your thoughts, delegate everything to God, and enter a state of holy foolishness.

Thus, in North America, everyone believes in God, but each person’s God is different, leading to countless sects and numerous horrifying incidents to which everyone remains indifferent.

Puritans and Protestants were initially considered sects by the Roman Holy See, but later grew and became legitimate, and the matter was left unaddressed.

New Dynasty Elegance gradually depicted for everyone in the car an American religious map they had never seen and rarely appeared in the news.

"North America’s vast and sparsely populated land, inconvenient transportation, especially in the central states, easily forms closed-off small towns and villages, backward, ignorant, xenophobic, like the remote areas during our nation’s founding, where they are the perfect breeding grounds for cults. The largest sect born from these breeding grounds is Mormonism."

"Mormons once went to war with the United States Government in the nineteenth century, were wanted nationwide as a sect, and after defeat, traveled west to settle in today’s Utah, establishing Salt Lake City."

"Later on, even the United States Government couldn’t handle them."

"There’s a widely circulated saying in Utah, Utah isn’t the United States’ Utah, but Mormonism’s Utah."

Everyone listened in shock, Ruzuo put down the bone in hand and took a deep breath.

"Hiss... isn’t this a nation within a nation? Doesn’t the Federal Government do anything? It doesn’t conform at all to our traditional rites."

"Why should they do anything?"

New Dynasty Elegance showed a mysterious smile.

"America isn’t like Tokyo University, it’s small government structure, lacking many grassroots organizations; many ordinary people believe the priests’ words, which are more effective than the government, Mormons have over seventeen million followers, tell them to commit violence, they might not, but if the priest tells them who to vote for, they’ll definitely vote."

"In other words, as long as someone has good relations with Mormonism, their party can gain Utah’s votes, joining isn’t too late, so why intervene?"

"This explains why the United States Government rarely interferes with cults, as long as taxes are paid, do what you like, unless things get out of hand, otherwise regional legislators will help cover it up."

He’s talking about the reality of the United States Federation. In the cyber world, these religions are a thousand times more abstract than in reality.

"I can even say, currently all, note all..."

New Dynasty Elegance deliberately emphasized this phrase.

"All sect headquarters are in America."

"Including those you might have heard of like Unification Church and Aum Shinrikyo, exploiting the ’90s winds such as Omnipotent King Wheel, Moussa Alami many decades earlier, Tibetan Esotericism, all living well in America, openly, and they also carry America’s influence in East Asia; you might even say this is why America supports them."

All the players were dumbfounded, what kind of hodgepodge is this?

I know you’re bad, but do you have to be this bad?

Perhaps players don’t know what Unification Church or Aum Shinrikyo is, but for Omnipotent King Wheel, many have clear memories, many families were victimized, and Brother Ni’s relatives were affected, so there’s deep resentment against these things.

And according to New Dynasty Elegance’s description, these two things in America were not even ranked, considered small-time.

Seeing the oppressive atmosphere, New Dynasty Elegance decided to convey some good news to cheer everyone up.

"Recently, several heads of Omnipotent King Wheel died miserably, they got sick wanted to go to the hospital but followers wouldn’t allow it, reasoning they should be invulnerable, why go to a hospital, just chant scriptures with the leader for treatment, in the end, died in bed from pain."

"As for their followers, they now refer to Absolute Reliable as the Living Saint, but Absolute Reliable doesn’t care about them, now they haven’t achieved anything."

Once heard, everyone couldn’t help but laugh.

Great, served them right, such a death is gratifying and feels like karma.

"What about Georgia, meow, on the map, isn’t Georgia far from Utah?"
