00:00:00.000 When I was in the Marine Corps, I actually was good friends with a gentleman who was
00:00:05.280 part of the motor transport group, and he was Black, and he followed the Yoruban religion
00:00:10.700 from Western Ghana.
00:00:13.300 His faith and the way he dealt with divinity in the world and all of these things came
00:00:16.960 from his worldview, and that included language and genetics and stories and things like that.
00:00:22.440 I would never dream of infringing on that, and vice versa, he would never dream of infringing
00:00:27.820 upon ours.
00:00:28.820 We found, I would say, mutualism in that understanding because we both were not universalist in our faith.
00:00:36.240 And so a lot of people, when they tackle divinity, try to, how can that be?
00:00:44.040 How do gods or a god or divinity, they don't care about race and they don't care about creed or where you come from.
00:00:52.880 And there's only one overarching thing that, you know, we have to bow down to or you, you know, are, like you said, sinful or to use the Greek word, demonic.
00:01:04.940 I've heard that a lot being tossed around on Twitter.
00:01:08.080 and um you know they they just they fail to realize that the components of the expression
00:01:16.760 of faith is a lot to do with language but language also has to do with society and society has to do
00:01:24.660 with race and ethnicity and those things are all kind of dominoed together and so it's within i
00:01:31.740 I think anyone's right on the planet to express and build their relationship with the divine through themselves, through their blood, through the way that they see themselves, how they connect to the divine is the way they correlate directly to themselves and to their neighbors, their family, their friends, and their folk.
00:01:54.420 it's when you get into other things it's like you see other people and you're like okay well
00:01:59.300 that's their faith and and they deal with the things in there and i don't want to intercede
00:02:05.300 i have my own they have their own and i think that that's the biggest hurdle if you can get past that
00:02:10.660 then we can talk.
