I too have been afraid of things that couldn't hurt me. It is never too late to interrogate your fears

Yep, same, except I’m TST/parody Satan nowadays (donating now to get my card)

It wasn’t rock music, video games, D&D, Harry Potter, green M&Ms, college indoctrination, take your pick that drove me away. It was them.

Like Musk and Spez, they killed their own brand with their toxicity. All they had to do was not be hateful, bigoted hypocrites and I’d probably still be caterwauling hymns every Sunday right along with them.

Once I stepped back and looked at them objectively, I couldn’t believe I’d spent so much of my life not only trying to be like them, but trying to be liked by them.
