God is dead in the Society
DOI: 10.13140/RG.2.2.25444.55683
??????Forty years after I was baptised, I trust that my only way to contribute the faith is by writing. I do wish that I may upload an essay with a topic related to ‘death’ on the day of my 40 years anniversary of my baptised. As ‘death’ and ‘four’ are homophones in Chinese. I may put myself to be considered as a man of treason as I would like to recall the famous proposition of Friedrich Nietzsche that ‘God is dead’. As we may not apprehend ‘God is dead’ simply as a proposition with an intention to be an anti-Christ, it may disclose the more critical fact that God was killed by us (Christian) and allow malfunctioning of the God in our daily life. Therefore, it may be a reality that God is dead in the society.
??????Flash back to 40 years ago, nobody attended my baptise ceremony. The only one I know who appeared in my baptise ceremony declared that he came to see some other who was baptised in the same ceremony. It is shameful for the church to boast their love to their brothers and sisters and discard their endless bully to those who are not in a group with them. At that day I ensure I can obtained support by more than hundred signatures from my school to clear my name that labelled by those wickeds, those wickeds with arrogant and without listen to the God, Mr. xx Tse judged me, ‘you are wrong as everybody says you are wrong,’ But those said ‘I am wrong’ was only four of them. Should I report his cases to the Office for Safeguarding National Security? As this so-called human being who beguiled the post of an elder imagines how to die for his religion one day under the suppression of his supposed wicked Chinese government. However, this so-called man avenge to a young sister by the advantage of his post of elder after the young sister discovered his act of smoking at a corner of the venue during an activity of the church.
??????There are full of bullies in the churches. I may be judged as not willing to serve the church, but it might be ridiculer or crazy that if I can serve the church happily under a circumstance with endless bully. After decade I graduated from my secondary school, my old schoolmates would inform me that they believed God at the first sight they meet me again. It is a proof that I have made myself an image of a preacher all around the school in the sight of my schoolmates, not only I was noticed by the schoolmaster on those days. However, the church can pay only notice and love on those in company with them. As having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.[1]
??????Which church is free from bully? It should be a good church if there is no bully in the church. A common way of bully in a church is musical bully. As one like to criticise one’s peer wrong in singing while his peer never concern good or bad in singing. The gift of singing makes you somebody, promotes social stratification, allows you to look down your congregation with mercy and shows off your beautiful voice. Supposing service in the realm of music for church for years, the fact is the participation in musical bully on the congregation of the church for years. In 2017, I was suffered from musical bully. I have not received any one word of apologies more than six years now. I will never forgive his act according to Cap. 347. Don’t ask me why I don’t forgive other seventy-seven times, as I was never forgiven as I couldn’t sing one time due to too tired. Yes, people might like to forgive others, but please put your trespass out of my body first. Have you any feeling that what you are doing?
??????Sometimes, I want to test the God, the forbidden act that you should never do. I do want to know whether God never concern my suffering from the injustice I come across. In 2019, I wrote three prayers for guiding children in finding God during a service of a short period preaching exercise. However, the leader of the activity makes it as his creation in a publication of the church accidently. Four years now, God may have no intention to clarify the copyright. In 2006, I was laid off trustily caused by disturbance of my boss’s Fung Fei setting as his setting stopped in front of my seat where I filled the place by gospel posters. It might be my mis-understanding that considering God is the one who would bless me in another aspect, it is still extraordinary out-proportional in my renumatal in compare with those who trust no God. Whether God is unable to bless me? I know God would not step into human society casually. But I was treated as traitor and unbeliever while I murmur for my unfortunate due to the injustice. Whether you accept or critiques prosperity theology is depend to you standpoint. You may consider whether the application is benefit to you or not. You may consider whether the guy who prosper or not is your people or not.
??????People are apathetic while an obvious unreasonable phenomenon happened. It is logical to act rationally, but people act obvious irrationally.
??????The pastor of my present church said: the theological graduates nowadays are generally too arrogant. My pastor know none, the theological graduates have been too arrogant for many years. The point is whether they remember that “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”[2] They study the Bible.
??????My point is: it cannot be manipulated the faith without that three years training in theology as faith concerning a life, but it also cannot be manipulated the faith based only on the surficial training of theology within that three years training as faith concerning a life.
??????Many pastors and preachers in Hong Kong like to entice and lead their congregation to Sodom based on their bias. Have they read the Bible?[3] Sodom was a wealthy place filled with homosexual act.[4] Don’t say that! It is a trend in present era as UK Medotist allow homosexual wedding[5] and Canada pass the C6 bill.[6] However the story of God rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah happened again in BC after the bill C6 passed.[7]
??????No! There is democracy in the West. The world is perfect and without any deficiency once there is democracy. ‘Democracy’ has been constructed to be a symbol well buddle with all beautiful and brightly things. We have been pull down into a society under the spell of ‘democracy’ by this symbolic artifact without concerning the circumstance of a Liberal Democracy that get rid of Protestantism Christianity Moral Value, which is trusted by many scholars as the initiative of the modern democracy. American treat the holy name of our Lord Jesus Christ as a foul language. How to not define this kind of country those disregard their own deity as the centre of evil? But they define other countries as evil except itself and its friend and entice aversoary everywhere. This country is an anti-christ.
??????Would you like to label me as a particular colour as I criticise your beloved USA? But you are not an American. You may treat me as hasten to pay flattering to China in this time of Sino-US wrestling. Yes! China may be less hypercritic compared with USA as Chinese treats always the God is dead. Since Zhou Dynasty, Chinese replaces the ‘heaven’ by their ethical view. Chinese consider that ‘heaven’ as their ultimate concern but it is considered as malfunction in their society as the God that agree to the supposition of Friedrich Nietzsche. People live their lives by the efforts of themselves and not allow the ‘heaven’, the God, the deities to step in. China comes to be a neglect-christ. The ultimate driving force of ethical behaviour and living is ‘behave yourself even you are alone’.[8] But a woman was suffered from breast touching while she fainted and fell in XuJiaHui Shanghai. Over five thousand years of development of Chinese ethical philosophy makes Chinese champion in ethics, but nobody can act morally.
??????You may criticise me as a guy know nothing of forgiveness. You may teach me to forgive other by seventy-seven times. Yes! I agree not to demand other too high and leave some space for this imperfect world as humankind cannot be perfect after all. However, the problem today is not lack of forgiveness but too much indulgence. People are indulged to a point that many people don’t know they are wrong, never confess they are wrong, have no intention to go away from their wrong, and reach a situation that they fill up the world with extraordinary madly wrong under anti-wisdom with everyone do as one sees fit. A pious Christian who enthuse in gospel preaching and join a lot of missionary activities both local and international. One day, he came to me and said he would like to visit a prostitute. He paid and he would preach her the gospel after enjoy her sex service.
??????Do you know what are you doing? In 2017, while everybody in the church enthused in musical service, a man wailed for his loss of his father. I forgot my practice in singing, but participated in conformation works for him. While the leader of singing practice delivered a guiding, an arrogant man, so-called brother in lord, scored me fiercely for hiding his wrong in singing a musical note. As I was too tired at that time with lost my concentration for I enthused in conformation service, I sung nothing correct. It was nothing forgiveness for only one musical note, in the scene that someone wailed bitterly for his losing of father. The waling that nobody would neglect, even an unbeliever. But the highly privileged musical servant of the highest God paid no attention of this wailing, but enjoy in his feeling good. What do the God want? What are this Christians doing? Which is the God want? Beautiful song from your human month or a cold water for a needed?[9] So what are you doing? A musical service or a musical bully? The God is crazy is HE accept your service. No! The god is never crazy. Therefore, you those arrogant with know nothing treat the God is dead. ?You may be unconsciously follow a rigid pattern to be a sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.[10] Whether this Christians understand or have intention to understand what is the will of the God or not? In the praying meeting one time every month, that enthuse in musical service have seldom attend.
??????“Treason! Treason!’ shouted Athaliah.[11] Yes, I may be considered as a traitor as I criticise churches and USA. ‘Treason’ and ‘traitor’ – how a good word reveal some natures of the present churches on the earth. Which one would you consider as a traitor? I criticise the present phenomenon of churches and would like you to change, or you have not act properly according to the Bible and allow the whole world to condemn your religion? It discloses the natural of social constructionism of the churches on the earth. Christians stick to the relationship, pattern, tradition and what they like that social constructed by their norm circle without observe the truthes which are written in the Bible. Are you a Christian? Yes, I know that you may criticise that we cannot be good without the help of God. I am not promoting a move to encourage people to be a good man by natural effort with obey the scripture. I know everybody can be good by the help of the God. However, the phenomenon is many Christians deliberately not to act well with astray from his proper way in the faith as they trust that God will forgive them in all circumstances. Many Christians enthuse in singing and dancing, but only a few enthuse in praying and Bible reading. What are you doing, Christians? A wife of a preacher complained his husband as arrogant one day when her husband discussed with her theology. She said, ‘whether all you guy learning theology are arrogant?’ But she become a preacher with her husband to preach gospel in Africa later. What will she preach? Would she consider she has preached the gospel after she has play a boardgames with some children in Africa?
??????Everybody in churches enthuses in building relationship. Don’t talk with me ‘Sola scriptura’, ‘Sola fide’, ‘Sola gratia’ …, the only reality in a church is ‘Sola relazione’. Everybody hastes to circulate the bare knowledge and experience they got or learnt, or the knowledge, experience, value, pattern … already circulated within the community of churches. Eventually, ‘Jesus Christ’, ‘doctrine’, ‘value in faith’, ‘common church activities’ … all of them become a symbolic artefacts, adopted as a tool for solidity a norm circle. People are recognised in the norm circle, and everybody gets their identities within. However, there is no difference between the God with Wong Tai Sin, both of them are a tool for the use of people. Nobody insists for the truth and raises up to against the unconscious secularisation of churches.
??????You may know that mathematics and logic are considered as truth in academic sector generally. Christianity acts not against this proposition, but supports it. If you cannot make yourself not to be influenced by the common opinions of the public, or the stumble of the conventional value of the tradition, discard the unpleasure you suffered from the consequence of common bias, deny the insight given by the logic, you stray from the truth of the God and make the God malfunction in your everyday life. As you might know ‘social construction of reality’. The truth agreed by the whole world can be not the reality. Structuralism may be in a better status, as social structure has been tested by time, the knowledge created under social structure may be more close to the reality. However, as the changing of the era, the truth yesterday may not be the truth of today. It may not be wise to insist the truth created in the social structure without accept the judgement of logic.
??????The only way for us to close to the God may be back to the truth. But the society has not insisted this persistence. The society either insist the element already present in the social structure or enthuse in social construction of new knowledge or both. The ultimate truth may be a great and mighty thing that too hard for us. We are looking for a temporary stand-point, either a tradition has been run for years or a trend supported by many people recently. Why the people like to promote ‘live in the time’, ‘life affect live’ …? It shows that people may touch never the God. What is Chamistic and Evanglism? People haste in forming norm circle without applying their discernment.
??????It seems that it is not us, the common men can do in our life to find out the ultimate truth. Fortunately, there is a concept of ‘already but not yet’ in theology. It means that the truth is ready, but we are unable to totally embrace it by moment. We may experience and taste the spirit of professional if we insist of searching the truth. Therefore, we may make ourselves much more close to the God when we insist professionalism even we cannot own the ultimate truth by moment. I dislike for some pastors may ask me what I want him/her to do after he/she receives my comments. As a well trained pastors with well study of theology, they should know what they need to do. Stick to professional, theology find it place in every practice.
??????The development of history brings our civilisation passed through fear of ghost to fear of god. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom as said in the Bible.[12] The society of China changed from enquiry to ghost for every decision to consider abide with ethical value as a way to satisfy the will of the heaven from Shang Dynasty to Chau Dynasty in China. The way to motivate development of the society is no longer based on fear of supernatural power, but voluntary obey to the ultimate principles. However, the society nowadays is indeed is moved base on agree to either social structure or social construction. Could we apply the concept of ‘already but not yet’ as a new approach in this era? This is the professionalism. Professionalism can be a form of ideology. But it has no necessary to refer to the definition of professionalism as ideology as set by the papers and works done by the vest interest group that define it is a prove of obedience to the professional leadership of the government. In fact, the representative system can be a way of dictatorship. As the present time with popular education available everywhere, many people manipulate professional knowledge and skill. Therefore, professionalism as an ideology can be the way of conflict resolution and resource allocation based on objective professional knowledge and skill that we are commonly processed.
??????How come God is dead? It is because the society, especially the Christian treat God is dead. Therefore, God is no longer present in the society or churches. However, the reality of the society is not always reality. God is dead in the society cannot prove that God is dead. In the contrary, as God can never dead, it is the society present in the condition of deceased. In a Japanese film, ‘Crying for love in the centre of the world’, the actress foresees the end of the world is coming. At last, it is not the end of the world, but the end of herself in the world.

上帝已死在社會中
???受浸四十年後,我可深信,我唯一可為我的信仰做的事,就只有寫作。真的希望,當我在我的受浸四十周年紀念日當天,可以上載一篇關於「死」的文章。「四」跟「死」在中文中是諧音。我而且竟然企圖大逆不道地,在這時刻重提尼采的名句:「上帝已死!」當然,「上帝已死」並不能很簡單地理解為一句敵基督的意圖,更重要的是,它可能揭示出,我們(這群基督)殺了上帝,使上帝在我們的生活中失效。所以,事實可能是,上帝已死在社會中。
???重提四十年前受浸的當天,所有人都離我而去,連唯一一名觀禮者,也明言他是來觀看另一人的受浸的。而教會仍不知羞恥地自誇他們對弟兄姊妹的愛,無視其對那些不為一夥者的無止境欺凌。在我可充分相信可取得超過一百人的簽名,支持我不為他們所標籤者的處境下,仍為那四個主觀不聽上帝言的、謝XX的判定:「人人說你錯,你就是錯!」但只有四人說我是錯。真的要把這個後來騙得長老職份的所謂人,送到國安公署去。天天幻想自己一天為政權逼害而偉大地殉道,而在給小姊妹發現自己偷偷抽煙後,卻以長老之權公報私仇。
???教會充滿了欺凌。我或會給批評為不樂於事奉,但怎麼教人在一個不絕受欺凌的處境下,快樂地參與事奉。當我中學畢業十年後,仍有舊同學,一見到我便上前來報信他已信了耶穌。可想當年我在學校到處佈道的境像,除了弄至給校長指導外,仍留在不少人的記憶中。只是,教會既不愛世間不屬自己的人,就不愛他們到底。[13]
???那家教會沒有欺凌?一家沒有欺凌的教會,必定是一家好教會。教會最愛的欺凌模式,是音樂欺凌。總要評論人家不會唱,只是人家並沒有想過要比你唱得好。一個會唱的恩賜把你變成了另一種人,把自己分層成為聖詩班的事奉上流,天天望着坐在下面的會眾展露天獺之音。以為多年參與音樂事奉,不知這只是不為上帝悅納的音樂欺凌。二零一七年,我受到了音樂欺凌,至今超過了六年,並沒有聽過一句道歉話。我必按香港法例第三百四十七條,不予饒恕。不要問我為什麼不寬恕人家七十個七次,因為我當年因太累唱不到一個音而永不得寬恕。對!大家都願意寬恕別人,只是可否先把你的什麼從人家身上拔出來吧?究竟大家對自己正不斷做的事,有否正常人的感覺?
???有時,我真想試試,看上帝是否真的對我遇上的不公義,不聞不看。上帝是否真的已死。二零一九年短宣時,我創作了三句禱文,在短宣時以此引導小朋友歸向基督。但有關宣教師,竟一個大意,在教會週刊中弄成為是他的創作。這也四年了,上帝似乎沒有意圖澄清版權。二零零六年,我把福音海報掛滿了我的辦公室;老闆因風水不能到我的桌前而解雇我。我或許迷信上帝會在別處祝福我,只是到了現在,我的收入跟能力仍是超極度不成正比。是否是上帝沒有能力祝福我呢?我知道上帝是不會隨便介入人類社會中的,只是當我遇到這樣不公平事而抱怨時,便給信徒判為不順從者、叛徒。成功神學!大家都只是按情況而批評。對你有利、無利。成功者或失敗者,是你的人或不是。
???或者說,問題是出現了明顯不合理情況時,大家無動於衷。我們當按理以為,大家卻是明知違理而為。
???正如我今天所返之教會之牧師嘗言:今天不少神學畢業生都表現得不可一世了!牧師真的是孤陋寡聞,不少神學生從來就是不可一世啦!只是他們有否記起,上帝敵擋驕傲的人,賜福給謙卑的人。[14] 他們都是唸聖經的!
所以,我認為:信仰是一生的事,若連三年神學訓練也沒有,如何可駕馭;信仰是一生的事,只靠三年神學所學到的皮毛,如何可駕馭。
???香港不少教牧同工,本着他們的偏見,鼓吹、帶領信徒邁步所多瑪。大家沒有唸聖經嗎?[15] 所多瑪──一處充滿了同性戀的富庶之地。[16] 不要這樣說,英國循道公會已容許同性婚姻婚禮[17] ,加拿大通過了C6法案[18] ,這才是今天的潮流嗎?只是,當C6法案給通過後不久,在卑斯省便出現了天火焚城的天文現象。[19]
???不!西方世界有民主,有了民主什麼問題都不再是問題。我們或可以發現,「民主」已給社會建構成一個聯系着一切美麗光明物的符號。我們給這個「民主」符號,拉進一個「民主」魔咒下的社會中,沉醉於無視失去了基督新教倫理觀下的所謂自由民主。於是,大家都開始並早已接受,以耶穌基督的聖名為粗口。一個這樣鄙視自己神明的族群──美國,本身就是一切邪惡的核心,怎配得到處標籤他人為邪惡?他們並且到處煽動戰爭。這樣的國家,基本上就是敵基督。
???你是否因為我批評美國,就標籤我為什麼顏色呢?或認為我說美國的不是,是要在中美角力中,急着向中方阿謏奉成。對!中國不像美國一般虛偽,中國從來都早已看上帝已死。自周朝開始,中國人便以德代天。雖說有天,卻如尼采一般看這個天已失效,遠離人民。大家都只靠着自己,不用天、神明、上帝的介入。中國成了一個甭基督。最高的道德動力來自慎獨。[20] 只是一名在上海徐家匯因中暑昏倒的婦人,立刻給人撫胸。中國人數千年的道德學說可真的是天下無敵,只是行出來恐怕無能為力。
???或許,有些人會批評我。怎麼不能學會寬恕,基督徒不就該寬恕人家七十個七次嗎?對!我們不能對人家要求太高,總要給世界留下一點空間,畢竟有限的人類總不能達到完美。只是,今天的問題不是我們所存在的世界欠缺寬恕,而是太過於縱容,以至到處都是??知錯,不認錯,沒有意向改過,達至一個地步,到處充斥着錯得太誇張至零意圖改變的反智式任意忘為。一名熱衷於傳道,到處參與不同的宣教工作,甚至到國外戰亂地區佈道,領了不少人信耶穌的虔誠信徒,一天跟我說:「我要嫖妓去」,並且已給了錢,約了妓女見面,還說要在享用完性服務後,向她傳福音。
???有時,大家知不知道自己正在幹什麼?二零一七年,當年我所在的教會,大家都熱衷於音樂事奉。一天,在我們練詩的會場處,一名大男人哭得死去活來。我已把什麼練詩的事都忘卻了,參與安慰的工作。當時,主領訓練的師母,指出我們數把男音都唱得不準確,一名自大得瘋狂的所謂弟兄,欲想掩飾自己也唱得不完美,扯盡語氣痛駡我。我當時太累了,又為關心痛哭者而失神,根本唱不出任何一個音。只是一個音,零寬恕至盡,並沒有看到身旁一個需要人家安慰者的存在。這個連最無良心者都不會忽略的痛哭,這個所謂事奉人員的自大怪,竟然無動於衷,超極度自我地陶醉於自我感覺良好。究竟上帝要些什麼?究竟你們這班基督徒在幹什麼?上帝要的是你的完美歌聲,還是你們給予小子的一杯涼水?[21] 音樂事奉,還是音樂欺凌?上帝若接納你們這樣的事奉,祂就是精神分裂了!不!上帝是不會精神分裂的,所以是你們這群自大、自我的不知所謂,在不住地看上帝已死。根本不知自己在做什麼,只因循地重複地當着鳴的鑼、響的鈸。[22] 究竟大家知不知道、或有意圖去知道上帝要的是什麼呢?祈禱會,甚少見到熱衷事奉的人參加。

???正如亞她利雅高呼說:「反了!反了!」[23] 對!我可算是叛徒,因為我批評教會及美國。「背叛」與「叛徒」可算是很好的形容詞,揭露今天地上教會的實況。究竟,你覺得,誰才是叛徒呢?我批評教會的現況,希望教會改變;還是你不按聖經而行,好讓世人咒罵基督教?這揭示了地上教會的社會建構本質。所有基督徒皆緊貼着關係、模式、傳統及盲從自己所屬的認同群體的一切建構,並沒有細究聖經上所記載的真理。究竟,這是否基督徒呢?對!我知道,大家必定回應說:我們不能在沒有上帝幫助下做好的。我並不鼓勵人們靠自己按着經文的記載去做好。我相信人們可以靠着主而變好的。只是,現實情況是,不少基督徒,恃着上帝的寬恕,而特意不做好,並偏離信仰的正路。不少基督徒熱衷於唱歌、跳舞,很少基督徒熱衷於讀經、禱告。基督徒!究竟你們正在幹什麼?一位傳道人的太太,在其丈夫跟她討論神學後,批評自己丈夫為自高自大。她說:「是否所有唸神學的人都是這麼自高自大呢?」不久,她跟丈夫到非洲宣教去,還成為一位宣教士。究竟她宣什麼教呢?還是她認為,她跟當地的小孩辦過一些桌遊活動,就等同傳了福音嗎?
???所以,教會中,大家都熱衷於建立關係。不要跟我辯論了!教會都是唯獨關係的。那裏還有唯獨聖經、唯獨信心、唯獨恩典…了!大家都急於把自己所能認識到或體會到的一點點知識或經驗、甚或在教會群體中熱傳的知識、經驗、價值、常規…到處熱傳。結果,耶穌基督、教會的教條、信仰價值、常規活動…都變成了給人手製造出來的符號,以把群眾維繫成為一個意念群體,大家於是都在這個群體中得到了認同、感受到給肯定的存在。只是,上帝跟黃大仙無異,成為大家運用的工具。沒有人以堅持對上帝的一夥丹心,反對教會這樣無意識的世俗沉淪。
???我們該知道,一般學術界以數學及邏輯為真理。基督教並不抗衡這種真理觀,反之卻是維護這樣的真理觀。只是,若果只為逃不出對眾人意見的盲從,或傳統價值的羈絆,啞忍流行遍見帶來的不悅,否定邏輯給予的啟示,那就是跟真理背道而馳,使上帝在我們的生活中變為無效。我們可知道,社會上的真實是由社會建構而成的。原來,全個社會共同認同的真實,可以並不是真實。社會結構可能比較好一點,基於社會結構經過時間的認證,接近真正真實的可能比較大。只是,在時代的變遷下,以往的真實也可以不再真實,大家仍堅持從前的信念,不接受邏輯的審判。
???唯有歸回真正的真理,才可以使我們更靠近上帝。只是,社會並沒有堅持這個執着。一是堅持既有的社會結構,一是熱衷於參選社會建構,甚或兩者皆持。只是尋找終極真理,實在是又大又難。大家總想儘快找個落腳點,一是多年相信的傳統,一是近年熱衷的潮流。什麼活在當下、生命影響生命──根本就是感受不到上帝。什麼福音派、什麼靈恩派──簡單不思考上帝而急於建構自我群體。
???似乎追求終極真理,並不是我們這群凡夫俗子在這生中的可能。可是,神學上還有一個「既已未已」的理論。那就是真理已在,只是還未給我們完全掌握,但是在不懈追求真理的進程中,給我們體會到專業的精神及效能。所以,縱然我們仍未完全擁有真理,守着專業精神,才是更加貼近上帝的方向。我最不滿的,是有些牧師在接受了我的批評後,問我該如何是好。你若是牧師,受過嚴格的神學訓練,還倒過來問我?一切按着專業而行,那麼神學就有其用處。
???歷史的潮流,從怕鬼文化轉而至怕神文化。基督教世界有敬畏耶和華是智慧的開端[24] ,中國歷史中,由商朝轉到周朝,經歷到從敬鬼問卜至以德代天。推動世界運作的,不再是來自對神秘的恐懼,而是對終極原則的主動順從。今天,推動社會運作的,是來自社會結構或社會建構的社會認同。是否我們可讓「既已未已」的真理,在這時代帶領我們重新出發?那就是專業精神!專業主義可以成為一套意識形態。但不需要每每參照,既得利益者,在既定論文中的引導,以專業主義意識形態,定明大家要聽從當權者的專業領導。其實,所謂代議政制,也是同出一轍的獨裁理念。今天教育普及的時代,專業能力已為更大的群體所擁有。所以,以專業主義為意識形態,應以專業為依歸的意識形態,大家跟從一個客觀的、沒有私利的專業知識及技能進行政治行為與解決政治衝突。
???什麼是上帝已死呢?那就是,這個社會,尤其是你們這群基督徒,看上帝已死。所以,上帝已不存在於社會或教會中。只是,社會的真實不就是真實。上帝在社會上已死,並不代表上帝已死。反之,若上帝不可能死,那麼就是這個社會處於已死的狀態中。在《世界的中心呼喚愛》的女角,不斷預言世界末日。最後,她發現不是世界末日,而是她在這世界上末日。
