事实证明在儒家世俗社会、伊斯兰世界、东南亚不可能存在普世价值。 （中英文版）

我们先来看看世俗社会，看看宗教只是世俗政府统治工具的社会的情况。我曾经论述过，人生而有无穷无尽的烦扰、痛苦，这也是佛教与叔本华所认为的人生的常态，我们为了摆脱这些烦扰、痛苦，就从种种快感中获得暂时的解脱，从眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意六根的快感中，从财色酒气、功名利禄、吃喝嫖赌等享乐中。平等、自由、人权这些普世价值概念，对世俗社会的普通人来说没有任何意义，我们不可能通过追求这些普世价值，来摆脱烦扰、痛苦，这些只是一些空洞、苍白的概念，只是最美好事物在人类灵魂深处的幻影，人类在伊甸园生活的一点残存影像，对我们世俗生活没有半点影响。也就是说，对于世俗社会的人来说，根本就没有追求普世价值的动力，因为这些与感官快感、物质享乐无关。这也是我们曾提到的，一些所谓的民主斗士，对所谓的国民性无比悲凉，认为社会对他们巨大的牺牲无动于衷，其实能感到悲凉，只能说明他们不了解世俗社会，因为这才是真实世俗社会的人生，这些普世价值与世俗社会的人生一点关系都没有，世俗社会的普通人认为，普世价值是神经病才考虑的事，他们无法理解正常人为什么要考虑这些。不过对于这些民主斗士，我这里多说两句，正常情况下追求这些普世价值只是为了信仰，与周围人的态度是无关的，如果非要赢得大家的赞誉，那就有点令人怀疑他们追求的目的了。我们可以得出结论，平等、自由这些普世价值即不能产生利益，也不能产生快感，所以在世俗社会里不用说产生这些概念，即使存活的可能性都没有。

让我们再来看看伊斯兰国家的情况，我一再强调，宗教决定西方历史，宗教大于政治，永生、永世的信仰必然大于平等、自由、人权这些政治概念，而根据伊斯兰教的教义，与永生、永世，与进入天堂的息息相关的条件是，刀剑强迫任何人信教，国家与教会的统一，教会即国家，国家即教会。他们的教义中根本就没有平等、自由、人权这些普世价值概念，这些概念只能泛起他们对，灵魂最深处、最美好的事物的一点感动、一点泪光，但是除此之外，不会产生其他更多的东西，或者一丁点的行动，他们不可能为了这些概念付出任何东西，因为这些与他们的生活关系并不大，它们即不产生物质利益，也不能使他们摆脱烦扰、痛苦，更不可能让他们进入天堂，获得永生、永恒。普世价值在这些伊斯兰国家中，根本就没有存在的空间，于是我们看到在中东，许多富得流油的伊斯兰国家，虽然物质生活极其现代化，但是没有任何同样的现代化的政治观念，这些国家是清一色的伊斯兰教徒，虽然教派各异，基督教在这里根本就没有生存的空间，这里没有任何宗教自由的影子。在这些国家，王室有着巨大的特权，根据教义实行一夫四妻制，男人对女人有着绝对的权威，人与人之间没有任何平等的可能，而且永远都不可能，因为教义是这样规定的，至于人权，更是奢望，同样根据教义，教徒只能绝对服从于教会、国家，没有任何可以商量的余地，所以这些普世价值如果移植到伊斯兰世界，将很快干枯而死。

伊斯兰世界不可能产生平等、自由、人权这些概念的，另一个重要原因是，教会拥有军队，教义允许通过杀戮来征服异教徒。一个拥有军队的教会，一个允许杀戮的宗教怎么可能有平等、自由、人权这些普世价值？当信仰与刀剑结合在一起时，绝对是极其恐怖的事，因为我们知道信仰是追求永生、永恒，终极世界这些人类最根本的问题，没有任何妥协商量余地的问题，刀剑原本是解决争端的最终武器，只有在所有协商未果的情形下使用，但是在伊斯兰世界刀剑是解决争端的第一武器。用刀剑解决争端也有它的好处，就是直接、简单、有效，一手经书，一手剑，不服从就杀，不服从的杀光后，剩下的就服从了，多么痛快。就算你心中不服，为了求生委曲求全假意服从，但是接下来你的后代，也会被他们的教义同化，看到儿子成为屠杀基督徒的伊斯兰教徒，只能让你更加的欲哭无泪，更加的屈辱。但是更多时候，伊斯兰人用刀剑传教征服时，别人也同样刀剑相向，以刀剑保护自己，而且伊斯兰人同样也将刀剑用于内部的教派纷争，自身内部教派血腥的残杀不逊于异教之间的战争，于是伊斯兰世界长期战争不断，从未停止过，所以这样的国家怎么会有普世价值？

我们再看看东南亚一带的情况，这些东南亚国家由于长期被基督教国家殖民统治，被置入了平等、自由等普世价值概念，可是当殖民统治被推翻，基督教宗主国撤离后，这些国家的非基督教也就获得新生，蓬勃发展，由于这些东南亚国家原来也曾是伊斯兰教的殖民地，而且伊斯兰教以刀剑传教，效率高、效果好，很快这些国家的伊斯兰教徒就占据人口的大多数，这时情形就完全不一样了，根据宗教大于政治，信仰大于普世价值等政治概念的理论，这些国家就根据伊斯兰教的教义，逐渐实施教会法，实行教会与国家统一，国家即教会，教会即国家，此时他们也就完全抛弃平等、自由、人权这些普世价值，这些在他们眼里空洞如无物，他们实施宗教亵渎法，不允许对伊斯兰教说三道四，这些东南亚国家发展下去将如何？可想而知了，我就不继续述说了。

Let’s first look at the secular society, look at a society in which religion is only a tool of secular government. I have discussed that human life is full of endless troubles and pains, which is also the normality of life in the view of Buddhism and Schopenhauer. In order to get rid of these troubles and pains, humans get relief temporarily from all kinds of pleasures, from the pleasures of eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind, and the satisfaction of wealth, fame and fortune, the enjoyment of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. The universal values of equality, freedom and human rights are meaningless to ordinary people in secular society. We can’t eliminate the troubles and pains by pursuing these universal values. These concepts are just empty and pale, just the illusion of the most beautiful things in the depths of the human soul and a remnant image of human life in the garden of Eden; it does not influence our secular life.

In other words, people in secular society have no motivation to pursue universal values because they have nothing to do with sensual pleasure and material enjoyment. We have mentioned that Some so-called democratic fighters feel extremely sad about the so-called national character. They moan that the secular society is indifferent to their huge sacrifice. In fact, they feel sad only shows that they do not understand the secular society, because indifference to universal values is the real life of the secular society. These universal values have nothing to do with the people in the secular society; ordinary people in secular society consider that universal values are only concerned by psychopaths. They can’t understand why ordinary people think that. However, I would like to say a few words more to these democratic fighters. Under normal circumstances, the pursuit of these universal values is driven only by faith and has nothing to do with other people’s attitudes. If they want to win everyone’s praise, it’s a bit doubtful about the purpose they are pursuing. We can conclude that the universal values of equality and freedom can produce neither benefits nor pleasure. Therefore, it is needless to say that they can’t survive in a secular society.

Let’s look at the situation of Islamic countries. I have repeatedly stressed that religion determines western history; religion outweighs politics. The belief in immortality and eternity prefers political concepts such as equality, freedom, and human rights. According to the teachings of Islam, the conditions that believers can go to immortality, enteral life, and access to heaven are using the sword to force other people to believe in Islamism and the unifying of the state and the church; the church is the state, and the state is the church. Their doctrines have no universal value concepts such as equality, freedom, and human rights. These value concepts can only bring a little moving and a few tears; anyway, they are the most beautiful things in the most depth of their souls. However, universal value concepts can’t cause other feelings or actions for Islam apart from that. Islamic can’t pay anything for these concepts. These concepts have little relation with their lives; they can’t produce material benefits, nor can they throw off their troubles and pains. Let alone push them to go to heaven and get immortality and eternal life. There is no room for universal values in these Islamic countries. Therefore, we can see that in the Middle East. Although many rich Islamic countries have extremely modern material lives, no modern political ideas exist. These countries are all Islamists; although they are different sects, there is no space for Christianity to stay alive alike; there is no sign of religious freedom. In these countries, the royal family has huge privileges. According to the doctrines, they perform monogamy. Men have absolute authority over women. Equality is impossible between people and will never be possible because the doctrines stipulate that. As for human rights, it is even more impossible. Similarly, according to the doctrines, believers can only absolutely obey the church and the state; there is no margin for negotiation. Therefore, even if these universal values were transplanted into the Islamic world, they would soon be dried up and die. Today’s Islamic countries can prove this.

Why can’t the Islamic world have such concepts as equality, freedom, and human rights? Another important reason is the church has an army, and the doctrine allows to conquer the heretics by killing. How can a church with an army and a religion that allows killing have universal values such as equality, freedom, and human rights? It is absolutely a terrible thing when faith is combined with the sword. We know that faith is the most fundamental matter of human beings; there is no room for compromise and negotiation in pursuing immortality, eternity, and the ultimate world. Sword is originally the ultimate weapon to solve disputes, and it can only be used when all negotiations fail, but in the Islamic world, the sword is the first weapon to settle disputes. The use of swords to resolve disputes also has its avails: that is, direct, simple, and effective. one hand with scriptures and the other with swords; if you disobey them, you will be killed. After the disobedient are eradicated, the rest will be obeyed; how happy it is! Even if you don’t accept it in your heart, you stoop to compromise and pretend to observe in order to survive. However, your descendants will be assimilated by their doctrines. Seeing your son become an Islamist who slaughters Christians will only make you cry your heart out and get more humiliation. However, when the Islamists spread and conquered with swords, opponents also largely fought against and protected themselves with swords. Moreover, the Islamists also use swords for internal sectarian disputes. The bloody killing of their own sects is no less than the war between pagans. Therefore, the long-term war in the Islamic world has never stopped, So how can such a country have universal value?

Let’s continue to take a look at the things in Southeast Asia. These Southeast Asian countries have been colonized by Christian countries for a long time and have been infused with universal values such as equality and freedom. However, when the colonial rule was overthrown and the Christian suzerain withdrew, the non-Christianity in these countries was reborn and flourished. These Southeast Asian countries were also Islamic colonies earlier, and Islam spread by swords, which was exceedingly efficient and effective. Soon the Islamists in these countries made up the majority of the population. At this time, the situation was completely different. According to my theory, in which religion outweighs political concepts, faith prefers universal value; in line with the teachings of Islam, these countries gradually implemented the church law and unified the church with the state. The state is the church, and the church is the state. At this time, they completely abandoned the universal values of equality, freedom, and human rights, which were empty in their eyes. They implemented the religious blasphemy law and didn’t allow to make irresponsible remarks on Islam. How will these Southeast Asian countries develop? As you can imagine, I won’t go on.
