Chapter 1650: Circlebreaker
Little Ran stared intently at Qin Feng without saying a word.
Qin Feng gave an awkward smile. "I have absolutely no disrespect toward the Divine Lord. On the contrary, I hold our Divine Lord in the highest regard. After all, since he became the Divine Lord, our civilization has undergone earth-shaking changes."
Ye Guan asked curiously, "Then why don't you believe in the Divine Lord?"
Qin Feng replied seriously, "Because the Divine Lord doesn't need our blind faith. What he needs is for us to actually get things done. Besides, if people overly worship the Divine Lord, they lose themselves.
"They become increasingly dependent on him, and their joys and sorrows start to mirror his. In short, they just become sycophants, flattering and bootlicking... That's definitely not what the Divine Lord wants."
Ye Guan smiled. "And what makes you think so?"
Qin Feng smiled back. "Since taking power, he has never erected a statue of himself. Many of his reforms have limited the powers of officials within the Divine Temples, including his own authority.
"Moreover, he's implemented many policies that benefit the common people. It's clear that he truly wants to help the masses. That's also what I want to do."
Little Ran suddenly said, "It's clear you deeply respect the Divine Lord. But earlier, you said that belief in the Divine Lord is brainwashing. Are you against others worshipping him?"
Qin Feng solemnly remarked, "That was a poor choice of words. I'm not against others believing in the Divine Lord. I'm against blind faith. If the Divine Lord is good, people will naturally believe in him from their hearts.
"But if he's bad, should we still believe in him blindly?"
Little Ran fell silent.
