[From under "Worshiping Comfort Is Satanic"]

When the people of a society don’t have strong faith, they manufacture a false god to replace the one they have forsaken, unaware that they’ve created a new idol. This false god will be so baked into the culture that individuals worship it without conscious thought. In the United States, that false god is comfort. Whether an American is an atheist or a Christian, or somewhere in between, nearly all have put their desire for comfort—and the fear of losing it—above that of God.

Americans have no remembrance of war coming to her shores. They haven’t seen first-hand the two World Wars and the communist revolutions. There is no one alive to tell them how their lands were invaded, their women raped, their houses burned. Only American soldiers abroad have had to bear the brunt of human violence and suffering, while those back at home can sip on coffee, eat cheeseburgers, and drive big cars. No tribulation except the very recent coronavirus lockdowns and still developing riots have introduced to the American psyche the idea that life is not automatically one of high comfort.

Not everyone worships at the altar of comfort. The Slavic peoples of Russia and Ukraine, for example, have seen darker recesses of humanity. Alongside their Orthodox faith, they have come to see suffering as the same as the early Christians: a cross to bear. And many eagerly bear it.
[…]
Comfort is not my god. I was not created to live a comfortable existence. A soul was not breathed into my physical body so that I could have material blessings and excellent health and amusements and fleeting emotional happiness. I was put here on this earth to serve my Creator. Everything else that is thrust before me in this modern environment are mere distractions meant to make me covet all that is not God. The Lord can take all this comfort away from me. He can drain my bank account, He can put me on the streets with all the other homeless, and I will still follow Him until the end of time.

EVERY god is a manifactured false god. Especially the Abrahamic God, who is a theological construct - created to contrast with the Babylonian religion during the Exile, heavily based on Zoroastrianism and, later on, Greek philosophy - crudely grafted onto the local version of the Canaanite chief god.

War and political upheaval are far from the only hardships one can experience. Plenty of Americans are very familiar with economic hardship in a country that regards welfare and any measure to hinder the Race to the Buttom as dystopian Communism. Many, especially minorities, are far too well acquainted with discrimination, organised crime and corrupt police. Gun violence is an endemic problem. Amd of course, there are the general personal troubles and tragedies.

Comfort is not my god.

Indeed. Your ego is your god. At first, you tried to inflate it through machismo, attempting to bed as many women as possible by any means necessary in the belief that this would make you a Real Man. Then, you tried to inflate it through doomsaying, telling yourself that you are one of the select few who realise the grimdark inconvenient truth. And now, you try to inflate it through religion, indulging in fantasies of omnipotence and ultimate authority by proxy of an imaginary friend taken from an old book. Yet ultimately, all of these idols are doomed to collapse, for they are hollow, their substance nothing but hot air. Daryush Valizadeh, you are a lowly and pathetic creature, stunted in mind and soul, petty and narcissistic. You have done not one good or worthwhile thing in your entire life while committing countless acts of evil and encouraging others to follow in your wicked footsteps. You will die lonely and unmourned, leaving no legacy whether of memory or of blood - and this is exactly what you deserve.

Yes, worshipping Ray Cumfart is Satanic.

...and now you've got religion as bad as he has, I hope you remember what you've just said this day when you get the ol' Blue Balls, Douch V.

You sound like someone who never knew discomfort in the first place. None of that is true, save for the never been invaded bit. Though some people have used the possibility of being invaded to get people on board with their agenda.

Exactly. He’s been a Christian for about 10 minutes but been going on like he knows everything throughout his entire life.

“Daryush Valizadeh, you are a lowly and pathetic creature, stunted in mind and soul, petty and narcissistic.

Someone needs to tell him that.
