It’s a good post, except I don’t think Gentiles realise or want to admit that christianity and islam are Yehuborim. Many go at long lengths into trying to argue that christianity and islam are actually against judaism.

...All for the sake of their emotional defense, which I feel is indirectly traced back to optimism.

People have strong egos. Egos are there for a reason though so part of me doesn't blame them. It's not healthy to doubt yourself, but when the belief is false, this self-confidence ends up being detrimental. A Zevist with the stubborness of those types may benefit from such confidence in the short term but even as a Zevist you can pick up and keep false beliefs about the Gods or the religion and then that ends up harming your progress. You strong faith starts harming yourself. This is why humility and respect for higher authority is important, to clear false beliefs and conceptions.

Make that a group of people and now you have a new religious sect/sects. This is how xianity/isalm/judaism split into different sects, calling the other sects not just misguided but evil, "Satanic" even. Egos dividing, differing and battling it out. Religion is but one dimension of this. Politics also has this.

Idk how Zevism will handle sectarianism. It's easy to remain unified while it's a small group with a single undisputed leadership, but as numbers grow it may become a challenge in the future. With Divine guidance this may be avoided entirely, but splits can happen for ethnic/political reasons too such as the Pagan groups split a long time ago, rather than religious disputes. Perhaps such kinds of splittings are natural and aren't meant to be stopped?

Maybe this has already happened? Not very familiar with the history. How many High Priest/Priestesses were there besides HPS Maxine and HP HoodedCobra, before HPS Lydia was promoted that is? From the different names I read on the site there were like 4/5 other Clergy members who then all left/were unfit for various reasons? I've also read the title meant far less back then.

I'll also add perseverance as another factor. It's normally great to not give up on something you want to believe in or achieve, especially if you're confident, but if you're proven wrong, several your attempts fail, or you end up getting duped by someone (Or some combination of the three), it can indeed hinder someone. I always tell myself that perseverance and ego can blow up in my face if I'm not cautious. This is where skepticism and doubt comes in. Ironically, skepticism and doubt can keep one level-headed to an extent.

Hm, I think sectarianism for Zevism could be easy: One could split into a more political faction after gaining political and religious knowledge on sites like these, then split up, but that's my take on the whole matter.
