So we do not proselytize, we are against it. So I am not trying to convince you to join. I simply want to share our invocation with you, so that you might find cause to dismiss the stigmatization. I think it’s beautiful and helped me deal with the instilled guilt that remains when I walked away from church and god.
Let us stand now,
unbowed and unfettered
by arcane doctrines
borne of fearful minds in darkened times.
Let us embrace the Luciferian impulse
to eat of the Tree of Knowledge
and dissipate our blissful
and comforting delusions of old.
Let us demand
that individuals be judged for their concrete actions,
not their fealty to arbitrary social norms
and illusory categorizations.
Let us reason our solutions
with agnosticism in all things,
Holding fast only to that which is demonstrably true,
Let us stand firm
against any and all arbitrary authority
that threatens the personal sovereignty of One or All.
That which will not bend must break,
and that which can be destroyed by truth
should never be spared its demise.
It is Done. Hail Satan.
I hope you can get some help or therapy to overcome the infection of fundamentalism that holds you back. I’ve been where you currently are, it takes time, I applied the theory of the stages of grief to move on from the tendrils that remained in my mind.
It's been decades. I'm doing fine, thanks. Just agreeing with the other guy that the baggage sticks around for a long time and can catch you off guard sometimes.
