Fortune telling with laundry list _ What does laundry list mean?

Urgent. . . . The correct attitude towards superstition.

According to the survey, "there are more and more fortune-telling behaviors now, and the higher the education level, the higher the fortune-telling rate will be." In fact, according to the general idea, it should be like what Mr. Qu Haiyuan said: "The more you receive modern education, the more rational you should be about your own destiny, and the less you can tell fortune." However, according to the investigation and analysis, the result is the opposite.

In the past, we thought that the theory of "destiny" could only affect women, children and villagers, but today's newspapers and magazines tell us that many people from all walks of life, such as heads of state, politicians, representatives of public opinion and businessmen, are addicted to it. If not, the "fortune telling" thing will naturally disappear. Why is it getting worse? Especially in this era of highly developed civilization and scientific prosperity, can it still be popular?

On the other hand, the values, morality and ethics of today's society are constantly changing. Most people measure their achievements by fame, status and money. In order to pursue these vain wealth, people often downplay the precious marriage relationship and ignore the basic principles of family happiness. Coupled with the rapid changes in domestic economy and culture in recent years, the changes and changes of political and economic figures have made people feel uncertain about fame, wealth, status, money and marriage. So in order to ensure tomorrow's status, maintain today's achievements, and keep the ideal marriage and money. We rely on "fortune telling", which is a big reason why it can flourish today.

Another main factor is that "numerology" has been deeply studied and analyzed by many senior intellectuals in recent years, and the program has even been written down and input into the computer, which has made a great breakthrough in "fortune telling". Therefore, the business of "fortune telling and fate matching" is even more powerful, attracting many intellectuals and politicians to try and accept it. Coupled with the hype of newspapers and magazines, it has become an irresistible phenomenon.

Everyone knows the truth that there must be "truth" before "falsehood" appears. Moreover, the "fake" must be exactly the same as the "real" in order to achieve the purpose of "confusing the real with the fake". This trick of "turning the war into a friendship" has always been Satan's means to promote himself.

If Christians can't produce real goods and insist that others' are fakes, who can believe you? You know, God forbids us to tell fortune or fortune, but that doesn't mean telling people that there is no fate or that they can't be trusted. On the contrary, there will be fakes only if there are real goods. It is precisely because of such a thing as fate that Satan can play the trick of "confusing the real with the fake".

Why can fortune telling make people believe it? If we can learn from the Bible, we can find the true revelation of the Bible to fate. Then, we can have the truth basis to distinguish between true and false. Because only under the illumination of truth can we see the blind spot of folk beliefs and uncover the truth.

It is generally believed that "fate" is doomed from birth and cannot be changed. Therefore, people attach great importance to good luck. Therefore, in folk religions and various customs, there are many rituals of "changing fortunes", but there is no custom of "changing lives". For example, when a wrongfully imprisoned person comes home, his family will immediately cook a pig's foot noodle for him to eat, or let him shave his head to get rid of bad luck and make up for his mistakes. There are also many people who go to the temple in the first month to do an "Ann Tai Sui" ceremony, so that they can have good luck in the new year. Although it is still a question mark whether this "An Tai Sui" ceremony has any effect, it has settled their hearts.

Why do people think that life cannot be changed? Because they know that people's lives are not doomed by the gods they worship, but by the "heaven". As the saying goes, "the gods can't save people without life" and "everything is life, and people can't do anything" (Minnan dialect), which means that people's lives have already been decided, and nothing needs to be forced.

Let's take a look at how ordinary people in Taiwan Province Province treat the dead, and we will know their views and influences on the "Destiny Thought" in their hearts. Usually, if there is a funeral at home, the family should first carry the deceased to the mourning hall, which is generally a place to worship the gods and their main cards. Before carrying out the dead, you must first take some laundry baskets or white cloth to cover up the gods and idols enshrined on the God's table. Keep them from seeing the dead.

These idols dare not even look at this passionate and devout believer before he dies. Why? It's not that these gods and idols are heartless, but incompetent. Because people's life and death are not controlled by the gods and idols of ordinary people. Therefore, in this case, the general gods and idols can not only do nothing, but also escape quickly. It can be seen that ordinary people still believe that there is a greater almighty in charge of people's fate and life and death. They don't know who it is, so they call it "Tian", which means "one" plus "big character", which means the greatest god. Christians know very well that this Almighty God is the true God who created everything in the universe introduced in the Bible.

Therefore, people's "changing their luck to make up for it" is nothing more than luck or peace of mind. After all, they cannot "change their lives". In this world, there is really no God who can change people's lives except the God who creates and gives them life. Because life is created by God, he can renew, heal and change. The whole Bible explains that God has prepared ways to save and regenerate mankind.
