A story starting with some minor anti-theism, and killing a dragon, also a funny song.

 

Then

related to belief systems 1:39 'she adapted her magic from belief system to belief system'. Also note both involve swords. It mentions having to oppose faith eventually near 10 minutes. around 12 minutes 'hope to god'. And in part 1 mentions the demonic earthworm. Drift0r is a Christian, as evidenced by some of his videos. Also he describes it as tearing up the city 11:50 and its made of pieces of living things.(had to double check its description in case I was wrong)

 

But also, when I was a Christian, eventually became an atheist though, I had dreampt about a 'dragon' (had no wings or limbs though more like a serpent with a larger head) and it was made out of trash, like candy wrappers and stuff. Now what that has in common with the 'earth worm from hell' is its made out of fragments. In my dream I didn't flee though (also in my dream the city was getting destroyed too though, and I don't even live at a city) but I noticed a candy wrapper on the ground from the dragon. The dragon was claiming to be a god, and I got offended as I was Christian and I thought I can kill it so then I do, with a sword of course. I ate the candy wrapper though and that's when I decided it was defeatable.

 

Now, notice the recurring theme of the similarity in general shape of the monster and dragons, notice the sword similarity, a city is a similarity (Jack Black's song had him moving to hollywood). in Drift0r's video(part 1) before 21:00 A women tells drift0r she doesn't worry about it because of her faith in god (the worm thing) at 24:00 she says he doesn't have to kill it.

 

Drift0r is still Christian, I am now an atheist, 'Black described himself as an atheist; but now that he is a father, he has decided to raise his children in the Jewish faith and has also started going to a synagogue with them.' from google.

 

Now, to add to a further similarity, LotR and more, dragons hoard wealth. Jews were known for being stingy with wealth? Vague, but still a connection. And its not anti-semitic its a fact, google it.

 

So aside from the obvious similarities, lets note the differences. My dragon was made of trash, sort of what my opinion eventually became of Christianity. Jack's dragon was alive, granted its just a story, but also granted with comedy subtleties matter, and comedians can be depressed people if you research it, sure its cliché and that's why its 'funny' but it could just be an excuse to mention something else. Psychology is weird. Now drift0rs 'dragon' was made of living pieces, and he ran away from it never killing it. Killing it would mean he would be an atheist today I think. Also the fact its living and intimidating shows why its more difficult to kill. Drift0r does like horror sometimes, so that could be an influence and other studies suggest that those raised with belief in religious or the supernatural get nightmares more growing up. Not only that I would bet money that its the same for people afraid of the dark if a study like that ever got tried. So of course he flees. Now Jack is a comedian which means he has a kind heart beneath it all, and is in pain more than he lets on, is my guess. Comedians have a higher chance of depression for instance, they are aware of the sad human condition, and the comedy is a distraction out of compassion for others. Comedy is about denial of the bad to put people in a good mood, give me one joke that doesn't imply something unfortunate or detrimental or something innately wrong with a situation if you want to disbelieve what I just said there.

 

Now his dragon was a normal dragon I presume, 'normal', I mean that just shows his dragon is the most empathetic. Dirft0rs is horrifying the prospect of losing faith, with me trash was a psychological projection of my Christianity's insult to atheism that was a rejection of atheism til it actually occurred and turns out that's perhaps what I subconsciously thought of Christianity. I can be rude arguing against theism sometimes but also try being realistic and understanding it (hence eating a piece of it, could be understanding it (digesting it) or it could mean it was my inevitability of becoming atheistic). And Jack can relate to atheists probably, he knows they are people too he is prolly a swell guy with good compassion like I said. Alot of comedians that were adored are similar, like Robin Williams.

 

Hard to draw much more connections than those, and I have to get going, but I am an open person to criticism but I am confident of the similarity. When trying to explain my anti-theism to a friend before I said its more anti-ignorance than anything. Like imagine a serpent made out of trash in the skies casting a shadow over alot of ground, and I don't care if it getting damaged ruins some property I said, the sooner its not blocking out the sunshine the better. Since then I have gained some more empathy intermittently, but I felt like I was alone in my atheism, and people I was arguing with were being illogical but turns out half of it was a miscommunication. People still sometimes don't get why I can be so confident a deity doesn't exist and more quickly assume I am being biased, like how can I know a specific god(s) don't exist? (well the lack of evidence really is evidence against their existence simply enough)

 

Anyways it just seems to be a common trope. Another similarity, is Jack's was living as well as Drift0r's, and Jack doesn't mind participating in his older years. Mine was made of trash, so of course I am not going to have it continue, because its dead to me right? That's another symbological difference.

 

Now we might say everyone thinks differently etc its just a coincidence but first off its all western/american culture so we will have similarities, secondly the vast majority of humans have the same brain organs so similar themes will occur. We are also each white males, with dark hair(so even if minor genetic brain differences did occur it wouldn't be very plentiful in our situation).

 

 

 

Just something I noticed.
