Chapter 2031 Ger and Atheism (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!!! Please Subscribe!!! Please Recommend!!!)

The universe is once again in chaos, and the Kree have to start a war with Xandar because of their inferiority. But the form of war actually has no advantage to the Kree. The reason is very simple. The territory of the Xandar people is not large. They have always been civilized by trade and have little need for territory. Instead, they promote so-called free trade everywhere, thereby making profits through scissors.

This has resulted in the Xandar people not only having strong economic strength, but also having a dense network of connections in the universe. Other forces may not directly come forward to help the Xandar people, but it is not difficult at all to secretly provide weapons and intelligence support. The key is that compared to the Xandar people , the reputation of the Cree is really bad.

No force in the entire universe wants to be neighbors with the Kree...so everyone hopes that the Xandarians will hold on.

On the other hand, because the territory is small, the area that needs to be defended is much smaller, and military power is more concentrated. This is a cosmic war, and the number of people is not that significant to a certain extent. Of course, this cannot be generalized.

Although modern warfare is dominated by high-tech weapons, it is of course very useful if one of the parties participating in the war has a large population educated in relevant technologies. Some people may be thinking that there are many high-tech weapons that shine in modern warfare, such as the most well-known drone: a drone can perform reconnaissance missions for a long time without interruption, which is comparable to many of the past. Scout. A drone can still launch missiles or precision-guided bombs, and if it is shot down by the enemy, there is no need to worry about pilot casualties. In this way, isn't it more cost-effective than special forces raids, armed helicopters or even stealth bombers? The disaster relief operation also showed that drones can also ensure communications in a certain area and provide emergency lighting. If this is done on the battlefield, it is faster and safer than when the communications corps ensures communications on the front line and the engineers brave enemy fire to provide lighting. ? In fact, not only that, I am afraid that there will also be large and small unmanned combat robots/robots and unmanned warships/combat boats on the battlefield in the future. These weapons will also be of great use. However, don’t forget that there are still people behind such high-tech weapons. So many types of unmanned weapons also require humans to maintain, repair, replenish power/fuel, and perhaps replenish ammunition. Therefore, a large number of people may have been soldiers who danced with guns and sticks in ancient times. In World War I and World War II, they were officers and soldiers holding guns. In future wars, they may be logistics and technical units proficient in various technologies. The more people who are proficient in relevant military technology, the more unmanned combat weapons can be deployed, so the advantage of having more talents is revealed.

There is another problem. Behind high-tech weapons is a huge and comprehensive high-tech industry, which still requires a large number of high-tech workers. Regardless of the fact that there have been no wars between big countries in recent years, some high-tech weapons have been used in conflicts between small countries. They must be improved according to changes in the war situation. How can we improve and develop new types of weapons without high-end industry? Let’s take drones as an example. Many concerned people may have noticed that in conflicts in Africa and the Middle East, drones have upgraded from four-axis electric small drones to fuel-powered turboprop engine drones. Let’s make a bold prediction here. In the future, drones with performance as good as the Su-30 and F-16 may be engaged in air combat in these places and shoot down small and medium-sized drones mercilessly. Apart from anything else, how many countries can develop and produce turboprop engine drones (similar to the American MQ-9)? Not to mention the level of UAVs Su-30 and F-16, how many countries are likely to develop and produce them in the future? In the same way, unmanned combat vehicles that are as good as T-90 and M1A2 tanks may also appear on the battlefield in the future. How many countries are likely to develop and produce them? Also, how many countries can develop the weapons carried on these unmanned combat weapons, medium-range air-to-air missiles and long-range air-to-air missiles? These unmanned combat weapons will definitely require the use of a large amount of electronic equipment. How many countries can develop high-performance military chips?

Therefore, modern high-tech weapons may be able to withstand a large number of illiterate soldiers who cannot read and hold assault rifles above their heads and fire, but not until both sides have a large number of modern high-tech weapons. The warring parties are competing for a large number of high-quality unmanned weapons operators. Whoever has more qualified operators will be able to organize stronger combat operations. As the war progresses, the warring parties compete to improve and upgrade weapons. Whoever has a complete high-tech industrial chain is likely to develop better weapons. Whoever has a high-tech industrial chain with high production capacity will be able to produce more weapons. In the final analysis, it is still about who has more highly qualified people. Therefore, population may still become an advantage for exhibitors.

But don't forget, the Cree system.

They themselves are generally discriminatory towards non-Cree people. Pure-blooded Crees have blue skin (blue people) and their appearance is close to humans. The Crees were forced to interbreed with other races, so they were born with skin colors similar to humans. A similar mixed race. Among them, purebred Kree people enjoy all the benefits of citizens of the Kree Empire and can engage in key positions and occupations. Although hybrid Kree people are also subject to restrictions, their basic citizenship rights are still no problem. They can enter the upward path, but there are invisible restrictions. .

And those conquered civilized races without any Kree blood are just simple slaves.

They can only accept oppression and perform manual labor, with no room for advancement, let alone education.

This also leads to the fact that the high-quality population of the Kree is not that large... at least much less than that of the Xandar people. The Xandar people are different. They promote universal education and are very accepting of high-value immigrants from other places. This leads to the fact that the Xandar people actually have no concept of pure blood... Many of them are strange in appearance, but they all call themselves Xandar people, and there is no so-called clear racial division.

This leads to a large number of high-quality talents in the Xandar Empire, and the level of science and technology is also very high.

There are many high-tech talents.

The Kree also have scientists, but the first choice of the Kree is always to join the army! There is no way, militarism is like this, the army will consciously or unconsciously absorb all outstanding talents, which leads to the overall bias of society.

The army has seized the most resources, and everything else must give way.

This leads to the slow progress of the Kree's scientific and technological level... Of course, this depends on who you compare it with. Compared with ordinary races, it is naturally fast, but compared with the Xandar Empire, which is an empire that embraces all rivers, it is slow.

There is no reason to explain the technological explosion.

With concentrated military forces, excellent logistics and social resources, the Kree people really don't need to fight this war, it's meaningless.

But the problem is that the lower-level Kree warriors don't care about these, they just want war. They don't need anything except war. Without war, how can they get promoted and make money? Without war, how can they take bribes?

Moreover, this is not just a problem for the lower-level warrior class, but also for other classes. They need to plunder more markets, more raw materials, more land and population to satisfy their appetite.

So the whole society is being pushed.

This war is full of nonsensical style from beginning to end.

Only the Shandar people are a little puzzled about this, but they don't think much about it... After all, they have been fighting with the Kree for a long time, and every time the Kree takes the initiative to find trouble, they are used to it.

As the initiator of all this, Gel is now in the Vatican on Earth.

When he came to Earth, Gel certainly followed the old rules and planned to find the gods to start with.

But he magically discovered that the Earth is really a strange place.

Many gods in the Pantheon can be found on Earth. Although most of them are not true, they do exist. But Earthlings treat them more as stories... If the Pantheon knew about this, they would definitely punish God. This is a complete blasphemy. You have made a mistake in the deeds and poems of God. It would be strange if the gods didn't get angry! Unfortunately... No.

Earthlings were not punished at all.

According to the inherent thinking, Gel thought that other gods ruled here, so he didn't care about other pantheons.

So he wanted to find the gods here.

As a result, something that made him collapse happened.

There are many religions in this world!

In fact, even Earthlings themselves don't know how many religions there are on Earth. After all, no one will go out of their way to investigate.

But Gel is different. He has lived in a world with a strong religious atmosphere since he was a child, and even faith is their first priority!

So even if he opposes gods now, he can't help but study and understand those things.

Then he was surprised to find that this small planet is so... full of vitality, and everything is competing.

According to statistics, there are about 8,000 religions in the world. Does this number surprise you? Don't worry, we will analyze the characteristics and differences of these religions one by one. First, let's take a look at Christianity. Christianity is the religion with the most believers in the world, accounting for about 16% of the world's population. Its doctrines are mainly derived from the Bible, and are divided into three major denominations: Catholicism, Orthodoxy and Protestantism. Christianity emphasizes love and forgiveness, and requires believers to have a devout faith in God and live a loving life. Next, we are going to talk about Islam. Islam is the second largest religion in the world, accounting for about 23% of the world's population. Its doctrines come from the Koran, and believers are called Muslims. Islam emphasizes the belief in the only God, Allah, and requires believers to follow the five pillars (faith, worship, fasting, zakat, and pilgrimage). Buddhism is the largest religion in Asia, accounting for about 3% of the world's population. Its doctrines come from the teachings of the Buddha, and believers seek to be free from the cycle of life and death and reach the state of nirvana. There are many schools of Buddhism, such as Han Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism and Southern Buddhism in my country. Hinduism is the third largest religion in the world, accounting for about 2.3% of the world's population. Its doctrines come from the Vedic scriptures and the Upanishads, and believers are called Hindus. Hinduism emphasizes karma, reincarnation, and has many myths, legends, and rituals. Judaism is the oldest monotheistic religion in the world, accounting for about 0.2% of the world's population. Its doctrines come from the Hebrew Bible, and believers are called Jews. Judaism emphasizes belief in Jehovah and observance of laws and rituals.

In addition to these mainstream religions, there are many other religions, such as Taoism, Confucianism, Jainism, Sikhism, etc.

There are also many messy and unspeakable religions.

This really shocked Geer.

How could the earthlings... or the gods of the earthlings tolerate this situation?

In this way, the gods do not punish the earthlings?

Why.

So he began to visit... He was not in a hurry, he had a lot of time.

Then he found that everything was fake.

The gods that the earthlings believe in are basically fake, but the gods in the myths that are listened to as stories do exist.

Other beliefs are invented by the earthlings themselves.

This surprised Gill.

At first Gill did not accept it.

Because it was contrary to his whole life!

Until he came into contact with atheism.

In a broad sense, atheism refers to a belief that denies, negates, and does not believe in the existence of gods; in a narrow sense, atheism refers to a resistance, rejection, and attack on the belief in the existence of any gods. Atheism is in sharp contrast to theism, which usually believes in the existence of at least one god. The word atheism originated from ancient Greek and originally referred to a negative attitude towards more widely accepted religions. However, with the spread of free thought and scientific skepticism, and the increase in criticism of religion, the scope of the word has gradually narrowed. Common reasons for atheists not to believe in gods include the lack of empirical evidence; the problem of evil, the argument of inconsistent revelation, the unfalsifiability of God, and the argument of no faith. In addition, there are many different atheist arguments from the perspectives of philosophy, sociology, history, etc. Although many atheists tend to lean towards various secular philosophies (such as humanism, rationalism, and naturalism), there is no common ideological system among atheists. Many atheists believe that atheism is a more minimalist worldview than theism, and therefore the burden of proof to refute the existence of God is not on atheists. Depending on the definition, atheism can be divided into strong atheism (or explicit atheism) and weak atheism (or implicit atheism). Strong atheism explicitly claims that God does not exist, which is similar to the narrow definition of atheism. In many cases, atheism actually refers to strong atheism. Weak atheism is similar to atheism under the broad definition, that is, all ideas about God that are not theistic. In this way, weak atheism includes agnosticism. There is a lot of controversy about whether atheism only refers to strong atheism or should include weak atheism. Becoming an atheist does not require any rituals such as conversion or baptism, so it is not easy to judge atheists. Only a few people who claim to be atheists can be generally confirmed to be atheists. There are more and more atheists in the new century, but it is because traditional Western countries do not express it clearly. It is a philosophical thought that denies the theory of superstition and religious theology of gods and ghosts. It believes that gods or ghosts do not exist. Historically, atheism generally advocates rationality and science, opposes faith and obscurantism, opposes the spiritual bondage of traditional religions, and praises human dignity and freedom. It has similar nature and meaning to "Enlightenment Thought". Generally speaking, materialists are also atheists, and atheists are usually synonymous with "free thinkers".

Contemporary people generally refer to atheism as a complete denial of any supernatural or the existence of a soul that is not related to the flesh.

Gill was shocked by these theories and didn't know what to say.
