16, 17 世纪的欧美, 可以说是凡是有人聚集的地方就一定有教堂。 最让JDT 大惑

关于雷电, 当时的著名的JDT 有过如下解释
: x1 n; L1 D1 w5 h! w4 FSt. Thomas Aquinas said "Rain and winds, and whatsoever occurs by local impulse alone, can be caused by demons. It is a dogma of faith that the demons can produce winds, storms, and rain of fire from heaven." : ?# K' t% r3 X6 L) _+ K
# V+ e3 O/ n3 K( J9 Z8 ^0 LMartin Luther asserted that the winds themselves are good or evil spirits. He declared that a stone thrown into a certain pond in his native city would cause a dreadful storm because of the devils kept prisoners there. 2 |! P$ F2 {* T- n% c+ Z8 A) Y
/ G7 w& U4 _4 f$ Q, n( D基于这种信仰, 当时的好JDT们采用多祷告, 多鞭打, 处死女巫来逃避雷劈。可
& s2 `. p' S/ d( I惜的是, 他们的祷告, 他们的对女巫的惩罚从来就没有半点用处, 教堂愿意招雷
