00:00:00.000So it's not about exclusion. It's not about exclusion at all. It's about inclusion of our people. And, and I can understand some confusion on this. So, and I'm going to take these questions, assuming that they're genuine.
00:00:15.380So that said, and certainly in the West, in our culture, we're very used to Christianity and Islam being the biggest religions we're probably familiar with.
00:00:30.520And those are universal religions. By saying that, they make claims that their God is everyone's God and that there's one right religion to have and everything else is sinful and literally the devil.0.59
00:00:47.660So there's one right path to any appropriate religiosity in those faiths. And that's not the case. I don't believe that's the case in the world in general.
00:00:58.020it's certainly not the belief of Alcetru. We're an ethnic faith, meaning that we're connected to
00:01:03.860our gods by our very DNA. Our gods are inherent to us as a people, us as a race. And just like
00:01:12.320our gods are connected to us, the gods of other races are connected to them. And it would be
00:01:17.360inappropriate for, you know, you use the example of black people to worship white man gods.
00:01:23.580I think, if anything, that would be racist. It is much more appropriate for a black man to worship0.99
00:01:33.060his black gods with pride and with dignity in who he is. And same goes for other races of folks as0.93
00:01:40.260well. And so that's where it's coming from.
