n the Mix is the Emmy award winning PBS documentary series for teens. It’s true: What you don’t know CAN hurt you! So In the Mix takes a hard look at drinking with hard facts. We meet some teens who are recovering alcoholics and a boy who paid a high price for drinking and driving: he was left partially brain damaged from an accident. In a powerful segment, two 21 year-olds test the real physical effects of alcohol on the body as they drink and drive under supervision of the police and a doctor. They dispel myths about alcohol and ways to sober up. In other segments, we take a look at a high school program in which upperclassmen hold workshops on drinking for younger students, and we see what really goes on at a police sobriety checkpoint. — “I saw the Alcohol show and it changed my outlook on drinking.

Question by Porcelain Doll: What is your religion?
left hand path satanist
Before anyone is judgemental, i found this paragraph that helps explain things well.

“Satanism is often mistaken as being a religion that encourages cruelty and irresponsible behaviour, but LaVey’s brand is very different. Central is the idea inherited from Nietzsche that an individual must enforce his own meaning on life and rise above the perceived conformity of the masses. The Satanist is seen as equivalent to Nietzsche’s Übermensch; LaVey claimed “Satanists are born, not made” and that “[Satanists] have a disease called independence that needs to be recognised just like alcoholism.” There is a libertarian element here; diversity is encouraged, everyone is expected to discover their own sexuality, chart their own personality, and decide their own ambitions in life. In this stress on individuality.”
