I actually have more of a sense of what's going on in the world as a Satanist than I ever did as a jokehovian witless. But, without the Internet, the witlesses were about as close to a perception of having "inside information" about the world as I could attain when I joined that smut.
Do you miss the sense of superiority?

Sometimes I miss that warm, fuzzy sense of certainty but it is such a prison isn't it? Once a person's ideas are fixed there's nowhere to go is there? I understand exactly what you mean, the world and the universe don't feel like a safe place the way they used to when I had my comfort blanket of religion.The trouble is that false sense of safety means giving up my freedom and I'd rather be free. Free but sometimes scared. C'est la vie.

Not at all. Being "right" all the time is exhausting.

In answer to your question - no.
i.e. I never ever felt a sense of superiority about what I knew / what I thought I knew.

I have come to conclude that supremacist thinking is damaging to mental health, and plays into the hands of powermongering propagandists and cultists.
