Chapter 2457 Competition

It is actually very simple to poach Aqua. As long as the love fin can make the hot spring more effective and more popular, it can become a new belief in Wenwen Hot Spring City in a minute.

Because the reason why Aqua is worshipped here is mainly because she is a water body, not because of her virtues and deeds, let alone her teachings and creeds. Just from the fact that she told the believers that Eris's heart was padded, so everyone should not believe the lying goddess, Aqua is completely defeated by the younger generation in preaching.

Right in front of Aqua, the trio began to act. They did not hide anything and directly promoted on the street how to make the hot spring better and how to transfer the faith directly to the hot spring through the statues they made.

Praying to Aqua is fruitless, but praying to the statues sold by the trio will work. The statues are three special characters, the first generations of Ultraman, Sentai, and Kamen Rider standing side by side. Obviously, this god does not exist in the other world, and in fact, it does not exist anywhere else. It is completely made by the trio at random.

To steal from God, you don't necessarily need to become a God yourself, you just need to erect an idol. The first Ultraman, the first Kamen Rider, and the first team captain can all become idols, and their stories can all become religious myths.

However, if you really want to spread religion more widely, it is best to add precepts, that is, to stipulate what believers should and should not do. If they fail to meet the requirements or knowingly violate the rules, they will be punished accordingly. It is precisely because there are so many rules in religion that it is used as a tool for ruling, and it is also because there are so many rules that it is widely spread.

In fact, religious rules can also be regarded as an accumulation of human experience. The Bible stipulates many messy precautions in life, as well as cases of how to deal with interpersonal conflicts, education, international conflicts, etc. Although many rules are said to be spread by God through the mouth of the prophet, and God requires people to do so, following the rules is indeed conducive to the survival of religious populations.

The reason why God's religion is unstoppable is because they have many rules, more rules than Greek gods, Nordic gods, and Egyptian gods.

It can be inferred that religions that can be passed down all have various rules and regulations, and all have strict organizational classes. It's just that some religions recognize the class composed of people, and even God is the highest level in the class, while some religions superficially believe that everyone except God is equal.

So the reason why religious believers obey the law is because they believe in God. The main reason why Orientals obey the law is the self-restraint of "do not do to others what you don't want others to do to you" and "be strict with yourself and lenient with others."

And those who perfect religious laws are called prophets, because believers believe that prophets have a way to communicate with gods and convey God's requirements to believers. Orientals have no prophets, only generations of scholars continue to improve. Of course, some scholars will reverse history and not talk about self-cultivation, but attribute everything to heaven. For example, Dong Zhongshu's unity of man and nature in the Han Dynasty emphasized the role of God. However, it is understandable from the perspective of two thousand years ago. After all, it is too costly to explain why we need self-restraint and self-cultivation. Directly attributing the reason for abiding by the law to God can save a lot of costs, thereby vigorously promoting Confucianism.

Of course, although Confucianism teaches the principles of being a human being, it lacks a punishment mechanism, so it needs to be Confucian outside and legal inside. Confucianism governs thoughts, and laws govern the body. The core of this is the pursuit of a good material life and ideological cultivation in this world. In religion, thoughts belong to God, and the body belongs to precepts. The core is the yearning for heaven and the fear of hell.

Now that the trio wants to play with religion, they naturally have to learn the advantages of major religions. The first thing is to create an idol. Because facts have proved that religions with idols are easier to spread. Judaism does not have statues, so it is not as widely spread as the cross hanging, and the cross hanging is not as widely spread as the cross nailing people.

That's why there is the grand scene of the three idols of Ultraman, Sentai, and Kamen Rider, and then there are laws, which stipulate what believers should and should not do, and if they violate them, they must accept punishment.

Of course, you can also do some miracles in the early stage of entrepreneurship. After all, all religions do this. If you look at the history of religion, you will find many records of miracles that are not miracles. These records may be funny, but as long as people believe that they are miracles, they can fool believers.

With idols, laws, and miracles, a religion is almost complete. Finally, we give it a name - Tokusatsu Religion.

This miracle can make hot springs better. Once it appears, Akusis Religion is instantly deserted. A large number of citizens abandon Aqua and worship their new religion.

Because Akusis Religion itself is only a semi-finished product, it was not a match for Eris Religion from the beginning. Now the Tokusatsu Religion created by the trio is more complete than Eris Religion. It absorbs the advantages of all religions and avoids the disadvantages. In the other world, it can kill gods and Buddhas, right?

"Ahhh——" When Aqua realized that her believers were rapidly disappearing, she went crazy, because faith was the source of her power. Although there were few believers, she could still maintain her identity as a goddess. But now her believers are disappearing and her power is weakening: "Kazuma, you have to stop them."

Sato Kazuma said what to do? "Why don't you show some miracles? I heard that the hot springs of the Tokusatsu Cult can help people get rid of fatigue, beautify their skin and detoxify. So, soaking in them can make you look several years younger. So many customers go to the hot springs of the Tokusatsu Cult, so the believers of the Axis Cult have no business."

The goddess suddenly had an idea: "I can turn their hot springs into boiled water, so their miracles will be useless. Wow hahaha——"

"Look, this is the level of God. God will not think about how to do well himself, but will only think about ruining other people's good days. This is the problem with religion. They will not reflect on whether their gods are backward, but will rack their brains to mess with others. Therefore, monotheism will eventually develop into the thinking of robbers." Duran said that everyone has seen Aqua's performance now, and this is the performance of God.

Kazuma couldn't help but say: "This is like doing business. Others' products are good and their business is good. You can't think about destroying other people's products. You have to find a way to improve your own products. Aren't you a god? Can't you also let the believers' hot springs have special effects?"

Aqua thought about it, but she didn't know what to do at all.

Duran reminded: "Your ability is purification, so you can purify the hot springs, such as purifying the curse or magic in the body."

Aqua thought it was an idea: "You can try it." Although she thought it would be best to mess things up directly, she could only try her best because Duran was there.

What Kazuma said was right, just like a business competition, both religions can bring out their own products and let the believers choose.

Duran was very happy to see the result of the faith dispute in the hot spring city. Duran was not surprised by the appearance of the trio, and he was looking forward to the three of them coming up with something new.
