Chapter 1326 False Gods and Righteous People (Second Update)

Steve Rogers took a course in emotion management.

That was one of the countless lessons Nick Fury arranged for him after he was dug out of the ice and became a little familiar with modern society. The director of S.H.I.E.L.D. at the time was well aware of the social influence Steve Rogers had as Captain America, even though much of the influence of the title Captain America came from the public opinion offensive during the Cold War and the infinite exaggeration of Hollywood film and television works. Even Steve Rogers himself did not recognize the historical events, but this cannot change his influence and the fact that sooner or later he will face the public.

Emotional management lessons are important, and he needs to present a perfect Captain America image that fits the public imagination.

As early as when he first adapted to modern society, there was a discussion around the title of Captain America. The Emperor showed him why he must get rid of religious superstition and personality worship, even though Steve Rogers was not aware of the Emperor's Foresight, he could now also recognize that everything mentioned in that almost prophetic conversation was coming true.

"They're just worshiping their own version of Captain America."

"What are you talking about?" Sam Wilson, who had been stuffing pie in his mouth just now, suddenly stopped. "Who is worshiping Captain America? In other words, is there anything weird about worshiping Captain America?"

"That's not what he meant, Sam." James Buchanan Barnes continued to eat his late dinner slowly without raising his head. Eating in an armored vehicle is not a particularly bad thing, everyone here is used to it, except that the reusable self-heating cooker is somewhat advanced. "What Steve means is that those people don't worship him but Captain America."

"I'm a little confused. Why did you say this? Is it because our actions were bad?" Sam Wilson frowned. "I admit that this operation was a bit bad, but the reality is that even the Avengers cannot complete this operation perfectly. Our numbers are too small, and we do not have S.H.I.E.L.D."

"It's indeed bad, but not for this reason. I'm talking about another thing." Steve Rogers shook his head. "███ once talked to me about the impact of the title Captain America. He was not a psychiatrist. That’s meaningless talk, but the reality of the title.”

"Who are you talking about?" James Buchanan Barnes held the stainless steel spoon alertly, with the beef sauce still sticking to it. The armored personnel carriers drove over mountain passes that had been bombed during the civil war, nearly spilling their food. "I'm not sure if there was something wrong with my hearing system just now. Sam, where are you?"

"I didn't hear that either. Can you repeat that, Steve?"

"It's the Emperor of Latvinia. He once said that the title Captain America is also known as the Righteous Man of God among American Puritans. This is a religious title that can be used to explain the essence of religious worship." Steve Rogers waved his hand, thinking that he accidentally said the name protected by magic again. "He hypothesized a situation. If Jesus comes back to this world to perform miracles, and then denies various sects on the earth, will the result be that the sects on the earth are denied or that Jesus is denied?"

Sam Wilson's family has a common religious atmosphere in the United States, and he is quite familiar with religious allusions. He thought for a while and then said reluctantly, "It's Jesus. People will try their best to find flaws in Jesus' miracles and trace the source of his identity. This is exactly the same as the story in the Bible."

"Because humans know in their hearts that Jesus is just a myth and will never come, so they continue to deceive themselves and others and claim to believe in God." Steve Rogers shook his head. "He once said that human superstition is actually belief in the god in their own hearts. , as long as this god does not conform to his own imagination, he will deny it. If the Messiah stands on the streets of Israel and claims that Jerusalem belongs to the Palestinians, then the Messiah will only be attacked by stones. He extended this theory As for the worship of Captain America, he claimed that there is no difference between personality worship, idolatry and religious superstition, and that gods who cannot confirm the thoughts of believers will be regarded as false gods."

James Buchanan Barnes smiled, only Sam Wilson looked a little uncomfortable. "It's not like you could say that. I remember you recorded a video for a church ad." James Buchanan Barnes shrugged. "If you said you were an atheist at that time, you would. It’s a huge event.”

"I didn't notice this at the time, and thought that my fame could stand up for the Avengers." Steve Rogers sighed, "But the reality is that everything is developing according to his ideas. We have now betrayed the United States, Washington. The World War II Museum in China also removed my photos, and the title of Captain America was also stripped away. No matter what contributions I made in the past, I am no longer Captain America but a traitor, and I am no longer an object of admiration by Americans. . The real-life events perfectly matched his expectations, which is so darkly humorous."

"I don't follow you because of your reputation, Steve, but because of the qualities you have shown." Sam Wilson puffed up his chest, "Whether you believe it or not, there are still many people in the country who support you. Those people I believe you, you will always be Captain America in the hearts of those people, but now you are being persecuted by the US government."

"What if Captain America wants to overthrow the United States, and overthrow the United States that deceives the public with democracy and freedom?" Even James Buchanan Barnes took a breath this time, and then he turned around and set the temperature of the air conditioner in the armored vehicle. Turn it up a bit. Steve Rogers continued, "You all know the result. The title Captain America is a false worship. I am Steve Rogers, not a person who can be defined by the title Captain America. I have nothing against Nazis and God." Relationships, I just want to keep people alive.”

"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?" Sam Wilson asked.

"Because I intend to find out the whereabouts of those refugees. The Emperor of Latvinia is not a gentle man. Even if he provides us with a place of refuge, disobeying orders may still result in punishment." Steve Rogers watched To his companions, "I will not give up the justice I insist on, but I don't know if you will support my next actions. Bucky, you..."

"Although I have a new arm, the old arm can still be used." James Buchanan Barnes raised his black prosthetic leg made of vibranium, "Just tell me what you plan to do. "

"Me too," Sam Wilson said. "I know they have a tracking device on my wingsuit and I will remove it when necessary."

"I will go and ask him first." Steve Rogers nodded with some emotion, "An extremist revealed a piece of news to me before he died, that is, they were not the first batch of armed personnel to land. But until now, we have not been able to contact other extremists, nor have we seen the crimes they committed, not even the refugees who smuggled across with them. I have to find out the answer to this, but I I have a hunch that this answer will definitely not satisfy anyone.”

"You mean..." Sam Wilson looked around and lowered his voice. He has performed missions in the Middle East and knows the atrocities committed by NATO troops there, so in his mind the bottom line of the Latvian government is not too high. "Are those people dead?"

"Not necessarily, he is unlikely to waste human resources." Steve Rogers shook his head, "Maybe our final destination is a sweatshop, but that is better than a mass grave. But don't relax, wait until we return to the Royal City When the time comes, I need you to be vigilant."
