>>5491130>>5491338>>5493198You decided to give him the short version.
-I come from a far away land were the customs are not the same as here. I travelled enough, waged wars, fought in tournaments, even saw the University of Paris and the Mont Saint Michel.
The young man seemed to be interested.
-There is universities in your lands ? What do they teach ?
-Paris has one of the most important universities of Christendom, they teach law, medicine, french and of course the mother of all matters : Theology at the college of the Sorbonne.
-They teach theology in an atheist land ?
-Yes of course, Theology is the basis of all our reflexions about God, even if I have never studied knowing a bit of it is needed to understand God and practical things like the mass.
He frowned and then nodded.
-I am sorry if I may take time to understand, our dialects are not always exactly the same. I would not say that studying theology leads to atheism but your point of view is very interesting, teaching atheism by theology, rejecting the gods by studying theology and seeing that all these gods are false. It is fascinating. And yes I agree religion is often used to control the masses.
You nodded.
-Yes, Christian theology helps us explain why idols and pagan gods are false. And yes of course the masses of people of all walks of society must adhere to the faith's principles or everything crumbles. Our right and proper feudal society is based on this, see, here in India it is paganism, it is doubt, there is no strong united organised church and what happens : burghers take more power, guilds take the place of noblemen, every kind of strange novelties begin to make the society crumble.
He seemed to think about it and nodded.
-You know, I thought that not having undergone superior education you would be narrow minded, and the lies spread by your ennemies were not helping but I see that you are a wise man of knowledge, a man of reason and virtue. You exactly theorised the writings of the great professors Karl and Friedrich, if the gods die society crumbles without the opium of the people, and it brings changes and a new society, more modern and more enlightened. And I agree with you, our society with it's weak link of having a lot of competing religions instead of one huge monolithic bloc is the weak link of fundamentalism. Your feudalism the right and proper way of feudalism as you put it, seems far more interesting, and I agree with your theory that once the power of the religions will fade a new right and proper order shall take it's place. It is the course of history.
