Jiang An gently held her hand, smiled and said, "Xixi, as long as you like it. However, although religious culture has its beautiful and mysterious side, it also has its cruel and dark side."

Lin Xixi turned her head and looked at Jiang An curiously: "Cruelty and darkness? Are you talking about religious wars and persecution in history?"

Jiang An nodded: "That's right. In French history, religion has been the root cause of countless wars and persecution."

"For example, the Crusades in the Middle Ages were brutal wars fought in the name of religion. There was also the Inquisition, which persecuted heretics in the name of religion and even used torture."

Lin Xixi couldn't help but feel a little shocked after hearing these words: "Really? Why haven't I heard of this?"

Jiang An sighed: "Because history is always written by the victors, they often only show the glorious side and hide the cruel and dark facts. But I think that understanding the full picture of history will help us better understand culture. is very important."

Lin Xixi was silent for a while, and then said: "You are right. I have only seen the beauty and mystery of foreign religious culture before, but ignored that it also has such a cruel and dark side. This may be why Gothic culture Yes, it’s probably because it was gradually replaced by other cultures.”

Jiang An gently patted the back of her hand: "Yes. But no matter what, we should cherish the peace and prosperity we have now, and at the same time, we should remember history and learn from history."
