Chinese folk religion does have an afterlife, and what approximates "demigods" in classical religions.
The afterlife consists of a Celestial Bureaucracy that everyone joins after death, essentially a job you have for all eternity like watching over the grain harvest in a certain field etc. This is why ancestors are revered (similar to how Catholic Saints are prayed to for mundane issues) because your ancestor has a job managing nature stuff in our world. This "bureaucracy" is why ancestors are often depicted holding stamps, for the paperwork in the hereafter.
There are a a select few that escaped this gate– the 8 immortals– who are a popular design theme in Chinese restaurants etc. They are 'jobless' and wander around performing miracles, inventing things, testing people's, or just having fun based on their tasks. 6 men 2 women.

Aren't there cultivation manhua which incorporate these elements

Mao consulted the I-ching oracles before his battles
the Kims consulted shamans before making decisions

How do we exactly know if this the exact style of how they worshiped back then as this is an older style?

>>1075
For very ancient Greeks, we do not know.
For Roman and Egyptian faiths, primary sources survive from practitioners and we have (biased) accounts from Jewish and Christians.
Most other ancient faiths we have to rely more on inference.

>>1085>>1075 I'll briefly cover 4 types of worship in anxiety Greece: Olympian, Rustic, Chthonic, and Orphic.
And we do have knowledge how the Greeks of the middle period worshipped, not only from art and statuary but also from preserved written hymns like the famed hymn of Demeter, likely performed by her priestesses!(Link below)
For most people, religion was a public and political affair, not the praying-to-God before-bed-type of religion. The closest we have to prevalent worship was worship to Hestia, goddess of the hearth, protector of the family who reverb praise before meals at home or staying the day.
The actual gods would change from city to city but usually would at least include Zeus , Poseidon, and one of the Olympian goddesses. Sometimes a titan or mereid like Thetis. This is the Olympian cult. Sacrifice might be deity-specific, like Olive Oil for Athena, but when in doubt all gods are pleased with the burnt entrails of a white ox or other large animal!
Outside of major urban areas the Olympic cult was less prevalent. In the countryside, Rustic gods like Pan were worshipped. I don't know much about /how/ they were worshipped, but we have a good idea of whichever deities and why.
Chthonic, or "underworld" gods, were also whales to a leader extent. This includes Hades, Persephone, Hecate and was associated with magic. Sacrifices were animals buried alive.
The last type and only kind with any excited of being outlawed that I'm aware of is the Orphic cult, a proto-gnostic group that believed that c death could be conquered. Mostly worshipped Demeter, Dionysus.
There are also "mystery cults" that we only know of from mentions but have no surviving details.

Do we have any evidence showcasing that the commoners believed in it? Did only the kings believe in it like Buddhism?

Yeah but it can get pretty close, the picture without color adjustments is closer to the true value than the one purposefully touched up with brighter colors to look more appealing. Its the same trick they use for burger advertisements going as far as to not even use real burgers because the real ingredients don't have as much shine to them.

Does anyone believe he's dead?
There's this guy, "Palm Beach Pete", who claims he knew Epstein from parties, lives in Epstein's old house, has the same stutter of Epstein and looks like Epstein w/ ozempic face.
Someone should just pants the guy to see if he has epstein's deformed "egg shaped" dicklet.

it took me a while to find this one. TWA flight 800 allegedly shot down by accident or terrorists. it was blamed on a fuel tank. but dozens of eyewitnesses saw a fireball streaking up into the before the explosion. later on NTSB investigators also said that when the wreckage was taken out of the sea, late at night strange guys turned up and started hammering away at the pieces of metal to bend it. eyewitnesses that day were also threatened to shut up.
then to quiet all the conspiracies the CIA released this video showing what happened and had to print in large letters it was NOT A MISSILE.

Well, it's commonly understood that Satan is evil, and Nazi is such a debasement of humanity than even the cucks that respond "moralism" would likely agree that Nazism is evil as well.
Also, Satan's only 3 named appearances in the Bible are Job, Matthew, and Revelation and in 2 of those appearances he is anti-Jewish (or at least anti-Yahwist) so I think he would be.

God is a cop and satan would be a cool ass anarchist with S-tier drugs

Satan was the first capitalist. Remember that communism isn't egalitarianism. He usurped the primordial harmony so he could appropriate what wasn't his due, now there is chaos under heaven the spiritual and moral equivalent of the free market.

>not saying money is evil or that we should purge it

You can say that. As Communists, our goal is a class-free, state-free, and money-free society.

>I have recently heard of a theory regarding how money is technically what we can consider magick.
>Money is a literal piece of paper that loses value immediately after it's used
If you honestly think that base-metal coins or cotton paper are literally money rather than representations of money, you're so fucking NGMI. Holy fuck this is cancer. Nuke this entire fucking board.

They were right.

Can magic be useful to the advancement of communism?

In the same way as guided group meditation can be

MAGUS & MAGENTA … mmagique & majickq … ah so … kill people in your mind … watch for +/- results … be careful non to lose control… only tell trusted insiders about your "mind death wish" antics … #quantumsuicide so QUANTUM HOMICIDE etc

Are curses even real

>>1076
if the person you cursed is aware of it, and believe in it, sure

It was mostly in response to the war they had ongoing with Egypt, they where worried that the US was covertly spying on them and this was their message to back off. Also a signal to the US military that they can piss on them with impunity.

whats the apollo affair❓

>>1068
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_affair
Basically in the 60s a zionist business man started a nuclear power plant in Apollo Pennsylvania and had a Buch of enriched uranium smuggled to Israel so they could make nukes. The Zionist guy claimed that it didn't go to Israel but it just got dumped into the nearby river Like that is any better so the FBI stopped investigating him. The whole thing possibly played a role in the Zionist regime getting nukes and nobody ever talks about it, the only reason I know about it is because I'm from Pittsburgh and Apollo is in the area.

Flying an American flag doesn't tell you very much. Do you think you could tell the difference between flags when you're in an airplane moving at the speed of sound, focusing on bombing a moving target (with relatively primitive aiming tools) that might shoot back at you at any time?

Given that Israel's modus operandi is generally is to bomb first and ask questions later, it's not inconceivable they'd take that approach. America's relative passiveness about the attack isn't unprecedented either: Iraq did the same in the USS Stark incident.
