super duper....I'm glad you've retained a spine, but you know what they say, it's easy to be flexible when you're spineless :)
You seem well balanced, so I'll leave you alone....when I feel strongly about something I won't stop at anything until my point is heard, but you aren't deaf or stupid, so I feel you get what I've said :) I get that way about two things: Satanism and Veganism. The only difference is that I could care less about converting people to satanism, I figure if they want to be blind, far be it from me to interfere with their bliss...besides, who wants people following the crowd out of groupieism or fear yelling "mee too!" when you're trying to be serious....satanism isn't for everyone...some people are genetically pacifistic and literally can't do it. I, of COURSE am not, so it fits me like a little black glove. It's a hard "religion" for some, as it's very black and white and cut and dry and lacking the fantasies and B.S. that make religion appealing to children. It's humanism with a more fun name....No dieties, no myths, just you, responsibility for you, gratification for you, and self reliance. No scapegoats, no dilusions, no excuses, no fingerpointing to the sky. It's a selfish way of thinking....but humans are inherantly selfish, so it's just a way of saying "look this is how I am, how we naturally are, and I'm not going to lie about it and pretend I'm better than how I was born..Tough."
Not everyone can do that, not everyone is strong enough to take the blows they dish out, take responsiblity and accountability and ENJOYMENT for basic human emotions and desires and wants and needs without the bonds of socially acceptable repression. It's humanism with satan as the figure head....not as a diety, but as a catalyst....SHATAN...hebrew: the opposer. The rabblerouser. The adversary. The eternal human advocate. Our man! He who questions, he who makes no excuses, he who stands up and takes his blows for the path least trodden because it is void of alluring and diluding fantasies that we've been raised to believe and make ourselves feel better......HAIL SATAN MAN, ROCK AND ROLL.
*giggle*
how was that? Man, I think I was a dictator in a past life :)
in all seriousness, darlin', do what's right for you, and SHOW THAT ITCHBEY WHO'S BOSS.
