I have close contacts in the FBI.

One time I was acting like a liberal, defending the WTC mosque or something stupid like that. They told me that Saudi leaders, and leaders of other Islamic countries, have young boy sex slaves. I remember saying something like, but but but homosexuality is prohibited in Islam.

On another occasion, I was acting like an edgelord. In the spirit of Spinal Tap and Ozzy Osborne, I referenced satanism. They became horrified. I explained they should relax since satanism isn't a real thing, that it's just edgy atheists trying to offend Christians. They told me that satanists have rituals like animal sacrifices. I said that that might have been a long time ago or a few isolated cases, but that it wasn't some regular phenomenon or a real religion.

Looking back, I feel naive, as if they knew about Saudi child sex slaves and actual ongoing satanic rituals abusing children, but that they were not at liberty to say anything further.

Now I think that child sex is common in Islamic countries, and that satanists are an active cult that remains secretive.

I run v/theology. I have learned so much about so many religions. I have seen how religious fervor can cause people to believe or do anything. What I once dismissed as superstition or urban legend or exaggeration or scare mongering, I now see as common phenomena performed by those whose minds have been warped by religion.
