Well, let's see.
I smoke about a pack of cigarettes a month. I even tried marijuana not too long ago (the first three hits did nothing; the fourth made my heart beat a million times a minute for about an hour; it wasn't much fun, perhaps it was laced with something).
The fact is, though (and H2O archives document this), when I left the JWs I was a Christian through and through. I even thought that my acceptance of what I perceived as the true Gospel had induced an internal spiritual rebirth.
Now I realize that the Bible is mere hocus-pocus with a little more focus on hocus than pocus.
I'd like to say that I espouse certain tenets of Satanism, but I'm afraid that I'm incapable. As the site says, a Satanist is born, not made. I'd also like to believe that weirdness such as the Church of the SubGenius really appeals to me. But it doesn't. Such stuff is appealing in certain ways, but they just don't fit my persona perfectly.
