  1. I dont think Christianity is about self-sacrifice. God wants you to have strong boundaries. For example Corinthians 9:7
  2. Also Randian philosophy is a bunch of poo poo, so I disregard it.

Also convinced he was a shaman and had extensive experience with psychedelics and out-of-body experiences connecting with the non-physical realm of spirits and entities

Just in case any Catholics were excited about my devotion

The archetype you referenced is ABRAHAM. If you are Christian or Jewish, you believe he was going to sacrifice his son Isaac, if Muslim, his son Ishmael . All three religions stem from this event. Christians just repeated it. The Father sacrificing the Son

“If thou be the son of god, command that these stones he made bread. But Jesus resisted the temptation.”

Lol as if anyone could do that if they wanted to

There needs to be some balance between accepting the challenge of Satan and wealth (materialism, angel fallen from the sublime into the rational) and submitting to a higher power that views humanity in a scope beyond competition and capitalistic success
