@YamaGorgos Thanks so much for reading and sharing

@stephenblong This is powerful and extremely relatable. Thanks for publishing.

"Despite my terrible experiences in the church, my Satanism was never anti-Christian. It was post-Christian, moving on from Christianity while retaining some core elements and symbols. Instead of seeing Christianity as my enemy, I saw it as my parent."
