- (good points Semhaza)
- Minor benefit:
-
- I would make the point that if one "moves in Satanist circles" you will meet
- some very interesting people that you would not otherwise have the opportunity
- to interact with.
- It is a sort of "freemasonry" I suppose.
- Then again, I would imagine Bahais, Moslems and (yes even) fundies have this
- sort of social phenomenon.
- I suppose it all depends who you would rather hang around with.
