I am a "christian" raised by a family with backgrounds in the church. One of my immidiate family members is a minister, my mother was prophetic etc, the point is I come from a very spiritually involved protestant family. I unfortunately was raised by a single mother (Ironically my dad is very into shamanistic pagan stuff) and the internet and my main role model growing up was my uncle who has been a 4cuck for almost as long as I've been alive (I am 21). Because of my upbringing and way of thinking I grew up to be just about as faithful in god as a redditor. Of course unlike a redditor I always wanted to be like my family and wanted to truly experience the presence of god. I was a doubting thomas if you will, and it was difficult to talk things over with my family because most of them are dogmatic thinkers and couldn't stand debating and discussing my doubts (I think it's moreso because they were women too kek). Around a year ago I began to talk with the minister in my family, who I probably inherited my way of thinking from, because he and I were on the same wavelength immidiately. Anyways in my conversations with him I have found more reason for a creator to exist than not, but thats for another thread.
Today I was looking at youtube slop and saw someone say god bless you on a video about someone losing their store to rent hikers, and multiple people got mad at the person saying that because they thought it was dismissive. Then they said that "us non religious people" had to hold the entire burden of facing the problems of the world, while religious people just ignored them. Obviously this was a monumentally retarded thing to say, but the idea of an athiest faggot getting mad at a chrisian that they weren't consumed by anxiety over everything 24/7 like he was is what really caught my attention. There I saw a clear dichotomy between the faithful and faithless, and even saw a little mirror into my faithless tendencies as well. The biggest revelation was that anxiety and worry is essentially a lack of faith.
With this in tow, I began to ponder faith and had a lot of enlightenments on it. For one, faith is a key to success of humans going through bad times. I would say it is part of why christianity is as dominant as it is. Faith simply works, and functions as a mental and spiritual shield against the horrors of the world. Secondly, faith can be seen as a metaphorical way for people to understand the pendulum esque nature of human history. It is by the nature of the world and humanity that bad times are not sustainable. Famines will eventually end, wars will finish or fizzle out, and tyrant regimes will naturally be overthrown eventually. In the current day, we are already seeing the rotten order of the "modern west" crumbling under the weight of it's grotesque sins and comical levels of mismanagement. This chapter of history is unsustainable, and it's end is coming ever closer. So, the faithful holding out for the big break will eventually be proven right in the end, even if they end up dying before it comes, at least they can do so with their minds at peace. In the meantime, the faithless live a life of constant fear and anxiety concerning the world around them, and if they are not lucky enough to be around when things finally change for the better, they have essentially put themselves in hell, a hell on earth. In bad times, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, but most of the time nobody can see it. The difference between the faithful and faithless, is that the faithful believe the light is there despite the fact that they cannot yet see it, while the faithless cannot yet see the light, so they instantly give up and decide that it was never there in the first place. In most cases, but especiallty in "comfortable" times like these, how you interpret and mentally process your experiences life, is just as if not more important than what you actually experience, and it can be the difference between living a life of total suffering or a life of hope and happiness.
This may be why faith is so dominant throughout history. The faithful will always outcompete the faithless because while the faithless can be blown over by a gust of wind, the shield of faith can protect it's carrier from the worst the world has to offer.
