Some might argue the life of a mortgage broker is a living hell. For Mike Grace, of Birmingham, Mich., it's not too far from the truth. By day, he studies to be a loan officer. By night, he is High Magus Noxaura, the founder of the Reformed Church of Satan.Reformed? Do I want to know how "reformed?" But this is a kinder, gentler Satanist, the Metro Times of Detroit reports. The church doesn't worship Beelzebub, it believes in taking responsibility for your own actions and being your own god. "I don't care how much fun killing people is," Grace joked to the paper, "that sort of thing is just not acceptable." He's even got a Web site, positivesatanism.org Sadly, Grace fell from grace grace? himself a few days after speaking with the weekly newspaper. He was fired from his promising brokerage position. "You cannot be a religious leader without your faith being tested," he told the paper. Conflict of interest: the company wanted the fools' souls for itself. Then again, I haven't heard of many Satanists crashing airplanes into buildings or blowing children. In fact, those who do claim to be fighting The Great Satan. Maybe this is worth a look.
