I think that this absolutely true. As I began my journey away from the xians, I experienced an increasing level of low-level hostility - kind of a death of a thousand cuts thing. Only when I dedicated to Satan did this seem to diminish. In hind sight, this seems like a pretty pathetic effort...

Awesome! Extremely well put. I too am a surviving ex-xian who was nearly suffocated by the doctrine of the so-called holy spirit. The freedom and joy that I have experienced after finding the true Father is nearly indescribable. I am now an actual real human being - free to love, lust, hate...
