So idk how many of y'all channers ever grew up religious, but something both family members and Sunday school pastors have told me at times is that everyone sort of has their own religion, or worships something.

It could be some flavor of Christianity, Judaism, or Islam. It could be Ganesh, Buddha, or Thor. Even if we don't think we believe in any gods or spirituality, we worship something, whether that be a girl, a video game, anime in general, science in general, LGBT, the furry fandom, or the Communist Party of China.

It's a useful concept, and decently relevant to 2020s politics. I think it's true.

But at the same time, I believe that everyone has an equal and opposite entity that they feel are persecuting them.

For Christians? Muzzies, wokies, and China.

For Muzzies? Pornstars, Jews, and America.

For white Americans? Blacks, browns, and blues.

For black Americans? Whites and Asians.

For self-identified troon wokists? Christians, white people, and "the establishment".

And just as with the religiosity principle, everyone feels like there's SOME entity out to get them, be it a person, a people, or an organization. Could be anyone or anything, but there's bound to be someone or something.

For Jews it is just the goyim. Humanity would be on alpha centauri if jews did not have to babysit the goyim.

There are actually some remarkable parallels between Chinese culture and Jewish culture

For the most patriotic of Chinese, their opinion on laowai is similar to the most nationalist Jews' opinion on goyim

They both value (((meritocracy))) and are home to / in charge of (((the world's greatest institutions))). They both maintain moral standards (Torah; CPC doctrine/Great Firewall) that set them apart from the laowai/goyim. And they're both responsible for, well, plagues.

Yet despite this I'm unconvinced one necessarily "owns" the other in any sense.

Satan and his demons are the real enemies. Everything else is either a distraction or satanic puppets.

I worship cosmic consciousness as the fundamental from which everything is derived. The universe is a mind.

Well. It depends on what you mean. If you're talking about a fictional week larping idea of a God that attends to you personally and listens to your wishes and prayers and is personally concerned about your mental well-being you can write whatever you want and imagine whatever you want and it will be just as valid as anything else.

If you want to talk about true divinity and actual Godhood, The variety that doesn't beg for attention or changes behavior based on your opinion of it... The kind that tirelessly provides the miracles needed for your life every single day of your existence without asking anything in return...then let's talk SOL.

Religion won't help you. You need salvation.

Proof the Bible is the word of God: youtube.com/watch?v=9l5ZEsXjNVI
1 Cor. 15:3-4: “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”

Romans 3:23: “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”
Jesus Christ is God who has come to earth from heaven in the flesh. He died as a sinless sacrifice for the sins of the whole world to save you from eternal hell, the punishment for your sin. He was buried, then resurrected and is now in heaven. John 3:16: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Romans 10:9: “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
John 10:28: "And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand."
God wants to forgive you, but you have a choice: Either choose this evil world and be punished along with it, or choose to submit to the will of God and be saved. Your own deeds, no matter how good you think they are, can NEVER justify you. You're corrupt and need to be saved. Romans 5:9: “Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” Salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, in what HE did for you. Only He can wash away all of your sins with His blood. Salvation is a gift, it can't be earned. Do you choose the righteousness of God or your righteousness? Heaven or hell?

Eph. 2:8-9: “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”

“Everyone” is a mighty big net, but yes, people have enemies and friends. Some of those enemies and friends are abstract (ie groups) or even imaginary. On top of that it’s extremely common for people to externalize misfortune, and thus blame their failings on some other entity.
This is most obvious to see in schizophrenics, but the behavior isn’t at all uncommon, it’s just not to the level that it destroys a person’s whole life like it does in schizophrenia.

2 Peter 1:20Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost."

Really, if you have any doubts the Bible is the word of God, just keep seeking and you will gain full confidence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yS78mFJcvhQ

even an animal has faith in the Sun rising tomorrow.
at some point you have to make an assumption about the future state of your environs, even if that assumption is that nothing will change
