关于雷电, 当时的著名的JDT 有过如下解释
/ P6 U0 u) \( ^' J4 T( Y6 b' @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." ~% L, z: ~& j. G
0 L5 t8 H6 J8 y. tMartin 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. ( V6 u" G. M r$ i

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
4 K- s/ a; L, O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. S% C4 q Q- s' R2 f
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,! n& j$ \; D7 t0 `& ^
立刻就跑到对面的妓院, 赌场去了反而可以逃过一劫。 |
