It is well-known that the JDJ had vehemently opposed the scientific theories of Galileo and Copernicus, but did you know that they had also opposed Benjamin Franklin's lightning rod?

关于雷电, 当时的著名的JDT 有过如下解释' P: J& ~2 Z, H, V `. @; e: b- h; ]
St. Thomas Aquinas said "Rain and winds, and whatsoever occurs by local impulse alone, can be caused by demons. It is a dogma of faith that the demons can produce winds, storms, and rain of fire from heaven."
& k* P' E( n0 t) B" g/ h: g% L
" a2 Y9 k3 J0 S& L' NMartin Luther asserted that the winds themselves are good or evil spirits. He declared that a stone thrown into a certain pond in his native city would cause a dreadful storm because of the devils kept prisoners there.

基于这种信仰, 当时的好JDT们采用多祷告, 多鞭打, 处死女巫来逃避雷劈。可
" p. f; }# E4 Y: u6 R; R惜的是, 他们的祷告, 他们的对女巫的惩罚从来就没有半点用处, 教堂愿意招雷
2 x+ o. Q" B' ]. l; O8 c劈的史实并没有因此而改变。 倒是有些心思灵活, 信教不诚者, 一看到雷雨要来,$ R S. N- u# O7 K& s G* e: h2 ^% v( J
立刻就跑到对面的妓院, 赌场去了反而可以逃过一劫。 |
