有朋友警告我最近的言论越来越反大众,要自我警醒嘞。
”大众“是我最恐惧的单词之一,在我可以想见的过去,我所在那个群体的所谓"大众“的意志,事后观见,都摆脱不了愚昧。
和”大众"一样令人生畏的,还有"权威“、”权杖“、”服从“、”无条件地服从“。
我对极权(宗教)的恐惧始于”1984“ ,近期来自于加拿大国宝级女作家阿特伍德写的”使女的故事“,这不仅是历史上所有极端的的写照,更是活生生的现世寓言。
以前听到一句话:怕的不是读书,而是在书里读到了这个世界,看使女的故事使你背脊一阵阵发凉,每个寓言后面都是狰狞的现世人群。阿特伍德说,如果要创造一个虚构的花园,她希望里面的蟾蜍都是真的。所以,原著并不是一部科幻作品。正如她自己说的,“切记,在这本书中我所用的所有细节都是曾经在历史上发生过的。换句话说,它不是科幻小说。”
我最近在读一本书“The End of Religion", 推荐。
作为一名体制外基督徒,以下这篇文章表达了我的想法,简要摘抄给你:
http://frankpowell.me/jesus-hates-religion
Here are 9 reasons Jesus hates religion (and you should too).
1.) Religion sees people as the enemy. Jesus sees sin as the enemy.
2.) Religion says showing grace is dangerous. Jesus says, “I know.”
3.) Religion grades righteousness on a curve. Jesus grades righteousness on a cross.
4.) Religion makes God the boss and you the employee. Jesus makes God the father and you the son.
5.) Religion says only listen to, attend, and watch “Christian” things. Jesus says look for truth everywhere.
6.) Religion is fueled by fear and punishment. Jesus is fueled by love and mercy.
7.) Religion is safe and practical. Jesus is radical and unpredictable.
8.) Religion says if you follow God, he will bless your life. Jesus says if you follow God he will give you life.
9.) Religion says come to church and serve. Jesus says go into the world and serve.
我想我更适合在蓝色圈里,我以为的精神信仰,应该让我成为更好的人,给世界以光,而不是手持自以为是的权杖,呵斥鞭打。
