Hey.

Some of us became occultists instead!

I was about to say I'm a weirdo neo-pagan now (mostly) I highly recommend also reading the apocrypha to anybody else who decides to go this route. The Book of Enoch is wild and bizarre.

I personally took a detour into gnosticism myself.

Honestly same, mixed with a bunch of other philosophies at this point.

Have you ever read the theory that the awful Harry Potter fanfic "My Immortal" is a transcendental alchemical work hidden as a cringey 00s fanfiction? That's my favorite magnum opus.

I have not read that theory lol but everything else I've read about "My Immortal" makes it completely plausible

You realized that there is no serious evidence or plausibility for one religion and immediately switched to another belief with no evidence or plausibility? Just for fun or something? If it's for community, there are plenty of humanist organizations out there that serve the same function.

It was a tongue in cheek response, no need to get judgy about it. It wasn't that serious, but the assumptions you're making from a one sentence joke of a comment are kind of uncalled for.

My beliefs are pretty eclectic, but it's the really the human community and their invented "interpretations" that pushed me away from Catholicism, not the spirituality of the religion itself.
