I mean, I really like the idea that everyone has something to offer here. Jesus Christ, the mungoes, all of it. No, I know what you're saying. Yeah, and that is kind of part of what I run into on this is that if you do, if this stuff is real sincerely, then it is something big enough where the cultural separation would be pretty pointless, right? It's like we're all observing the same thing and just have a different name for it. Oh, I think the opposite. I think that they're all competing.

Oh, you think it's all competing? They're all... Well, like, okay, like in... They have the whole universe, but they're instead competing over earthly territories. Well, or maybe they're not all competing. Maybe it's like the mafia. I mean, like, you know, in Exodus, they don't in that part of the Bible, they don't say like, oh, like the Hebrews worship God, who's real and the Egyptians were just like doing the stupid bullshit that's made up. Like they

they say that like the Pharaoh had powerful magicians and that the Pharaoh had a God, but just like Yahweh was way stronger. Like he beat the shit out of that. There reminds me of like that Tumblr post when the the girls were trying to hex the Taliban. Do you remember that? Yeah, don't don't astral project and face Allah on your own. He's way too powerful. Well, no, yeah, that is like that is like one of the humans on Dragon Ball.

He trying to fight with the monotheistic face. God is so big and universal that you can't, you can never make a deal with God. But in smaller religions and smaller gods and like older religions that like, I'm never really going away. Like the tendrils of belief are still in our society. There's always the possibility that like there are perhaps lesser deities that you can make a deal with. And I think that like, that's where the idea from a lot of these

like the occult and hauntings is that there is still some sort of power out there that can be accessed that's been like forgotten in some way. Yeah, I like that idea. I really do. I like the idea. I mean, like out of all the major religions, I do like that idea. I really do. I like the idea. I mean, like out of all the major religions, I do like that Hinduism,

that there's like a fucking bureaucracy of gods. Ha ha ha. True. Is that your favorite? Who are you rocking with? Um, okay. Judaism. I mean, that's my home team.

I'm not going against them. Islam always pulling for them. Christianity has been showing me some things. I do like, so the stuff we've seen out of Hinduism, I really, I like the sport, really. Like I'm a stabler, I think it's all real. I think it's all real. Like we've established it, like I believe in all of it.

That's not a question. Well, I just, you know, I got my home feed. I mean, like the thing with, like the thing with the D word, right, it is Kerimium's interest in something illicit that opens the door. I mean, like the thing with the D word, right? It is Kerrnyom's interest in something elicit that opens the door. Like that's it opens up the receptors in your imagination to allow belief to become real.

And I think the interesting thing is that anything is real if you have a mind to believe it, which is why I'm not afraid of ghosts or being haunted or terrorized by them, because I don't believe in them. Sure. Like that's probably what I'm not afraid of ghosts are being haunted or terrorized by them because I don't believe in them Sure, I'm like that's you know probably I'm gonna die of lung cancer because I live in a materialistic world We're like that's what's gonna kill me, you know if I stop if you just stop believing in cancer You're gonna cure yourself. No, but it's kind of a theme that is definitely a theme

But then again, there's a lot of people who I mean a lot of people I end up talking to are ones that were just kind of coasting through their life And then something fucking insane happened to them, you know. Those are my favorite, where it's like somebody that was not asking for it. It's just like one day something completely bonkers happened and then it's like changed their life.
