Sigh, well it's a long story, but as much as I can, I'll let you know.
As a kid, I grew up in a goat farm. I was taught to raise them, milk them, and even fatten them up to eat them. I raised several little kids* into adulthood and pretty much had a few fainting goats. Those were great! I chased them around till tey plopped on the ground!
Then when I moved to the city, I started my Deathmetal band and our logo was a goat skull because at the time, I was a Satanist. I learned about the demigod Baphomet and how he/she bacame known as a harbinger of death, angel of death, secret goat messiah and so forth. So I always thought goats kick ass!
Then our band went through alot and we changed our image abit. We went from wearing crappy ass red clothing, to nice lookin' cashmere black suits with our Satanicap symbol you see there on my avatar. So once again, goats played an important role.
At our shows, secretly of course, I'd buy disease stricken goats at about 20 bucks and kept them until they were about dead, or already dead, then took em onstage with me, and well, did satanic shit to their blood, skin, horns, ya know. It got me in alot of trouble, so we've stopped doing it.
Then I moved to the high desert, and didn't have a dog, or a cat, but I had Baphy, my pet goat, whos picture is floating around here on KMC somewhere. Yes, Baphy is short for Baphomet, my goat's name, so I've come to respect and love goats, they're my favorite animal.
*Technical term for young/baby goats

It didn't mean anything to me. I came to terms with myself that I was a Satanist not because it stood out to me spiritually, but I was just interested in the idea of dark energy and Satan. It's like being a christian just because Jesus is 'cool'... I also believe that to be a Satanist you must be of able mind and body and also be, not 'all-knowing', but rather very intelligent. I didn't excel in that catagory, instead, I was forced to attend a black mass (Which can never compare to the ones where virgins were killed) where a bunch of snot nosed goth kids in their basements dress as depressed as they are and chanted words. While true Satanist collect ideas and have intelligent discussions about this realm and the next. So I just left it.

I agree, the concept of satanism is not understood by many, it is usually just 'worshipped' because it is sort of 'different' or 'naughty', not for the spiritual side. I'm not a Satanist, but it's my favourite religions out of them all, although Buddhism is also good too.

Yeah. It was abit interesting being a Satanist, but then, I wandered around for awhile being Agnostic, now I just find myself believing in "a" god, as well as a heaven and a hell.

I'm personally agnostic, but I can see the reason why you'd believe in some form of god and afterlife.

Well, to say the truth, it took a special girl in my life to convince me. She's very somewhat spiritual, not insanely, but just the needed amount, and she used anologies of how we came to be, how it has to be a 'miracle'. So in her sense, I can see where she's coming from. I want a wedding in a church ya know, not a courtroom. So there has to be at least alittle faith in me, even if it's just abit.
See, my logic was that heaven/god/jesus, they're very good, and some might argue that the bible is a fictional book, however my thought will remain a secret, but i'll share the fact that I've always looked at heaven/god/jesus as a form of matured Santa Clause. Growing up you were told to behave and you will be rewarded with gifts. Now that stuff like that won't fly anymore, we have to graduate to religion. Be good or else go to hell. Okay...who's there? Satan is. Satan? Will he hurt me? Yes he will, so be good and when you die, you'll be 'rewarded' with heavenly things.
Catch my drift? But I do not mean to offend, nor do I mean anything in bad taste, I respect all religions, even when I was a Satanist. Alot of Satanists told me I must disrespect Christianity and mock them. Why? That's not okay with me, f*ck it.

My boyfriend and I both share different religious views. I'm Catholic, Sebastian is Agnostic. It kind of sucks that the two of us are so different..but I guess that's what makes us so alike too, ay?!
Yes I see. It'll work out fine, I'm sure. When you love someone, rather or not they believe in God shouldn't be a big deal.
