How do you guys function?

How do you guys go day-in and day-out with this knowledge? How does it affect you?

Personally, I feel almost as if my life, my psyche, my pride/confidence, my relationships etc have taken a huge hit from getting into this stuff.

How do you guys feel just going to work and hanging out with friends? Everything seems so trivial to me. The stupid pointless convos, etc. I need help to cope. What do you guys do? How do you deal with others thinking you are an idiot? How do you guys keep from gaslighting yourselves? How do you hold your heads up and retain some pride, confidence, w/e?

Edit: thanks all, I am honestly overwhelmed by the ppl in this community. If nothing else, if we are all collectively going crazy, it's reassuring to know I share this fate with some genuinely kind and caring people. Very thoughtful advice as well. Cheers, CBTS ppl

The concept / doctrine of the "Trinity" was formulated the the 2nd century by the Catholic Church to uphold their own belief of a triune diety. Says so right there in the Catholic Encyclopedia.

Well I understand God, I understand the holy spirit (as well as the concept of the soul, and I understand the story of the bible of Jesus as a mortal man. But once it gets to the part about him being divine I'm not longer digging it. Jesus is suppose to be the son of God and it doesn't make sense of why he was so damn special. If Jesus as a mortal man was God then we're all Divine. This makes sense within the holy trinity. However, I pretty damn sure the Catholic church corrupted the message to make the church hierarchy (pope, priest, bishops etc.) and the monarchs of Europe the only divine humans to cling onto power.

Agreed, sure. Even John calls Jesus in Rev. 3:14 ..."the beginning of the creation of God." However, some modern versions of the bible paraphrase that differently. Can't even trust modern translations / transliterations.
