Looking at the CDC statistics for the three things you mentioned reveals that the suicide rate is lower on average in California and New York, or at least the deaths that are counted as suicides are lower. For the other two, drug ODs and alcoholism, Maine and Louisiana have the same drug overdose rate and Florida and Connecticut have the same alcoholism rates. When someone takes three MRNA vaccines and dies, is that suicide?
As far as "JC is a demon", that kind of embittered ennui makes me chuckle because I used to live there and frankly, I was far cleverer at it. Like it or not, Christianity is far more than a pop up religion, and if I were you, I would focus on the (ironically) Christian practice of discursive meditation instead of trying to go up against the Christian egregore, which will never concern itself about little old you. Though I believe Christianity is dying out and will soon become a minority religion on par with Zoroastrianism or Jainism, it actually does have some good stuff to be plucked out of the dumpster fire it has become. Maybe think about what you are saying about value judgements. Do you consider yourself a moral authority? You seem to. I'm not and I don't pretend that I am.
