Beware Of Demonic Candy!!!

A Halloween public service announcement from Pat Robertson: Not only is the devil in the details, he may be lurking inside your Kit Kat. There are some serious lulz and some very serious non-lulz in this video. It's amazing that people still believe this crap.

Wow. It's unbelievable the fear that some people live in these days. I can't imagine what it's like to be as afraid of shadows as these people are.

Demonic candy, sex with demons, orange and brown being evil colors. My head is starting to hurt.

I'm a Chrisitian. My wife and a few neighbourhood parents will be taking the kids out in a group tonight while I stay at home handing candy out. I've had a number of disagreements with people in my church about this. They see it as "evil". I see it as kids having a night to be kids and get creative with costumes, etc. They will be going to complete strangers homes, who will be giving out candy out of the gooness of their hearts and to see kids smile. My kids will be saying please and thank you for their free candy. Pat Robertson says demonic, I say this is people exhibiting characteristics that make this world a bit better place.

As far as demons in the candy go, I'm not really sure how to address that. Let's say witches are cursing candy (for argument's sake). Would it not be logical to bless your kids' candy like you do your meals? Does the bible not say that demons flee in the name of Jesus? Does the bible not say that God is more powerful than demonds, satan, etc? Practice your faith the way the bible tells you, not the way somebody who makes a living using fear-factics tells you to.

Sex with demons, hmmm. I know sometimes my wife doesn't look her best first thing in the morning but........

Now since we are in paranoia mode, perhaps we should discuss the threat that face us all. Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Arthiests, Agnostics, etc all have a common enemy.... zombies!

The only demonic candies are Mary Jane PB Kisses. And only those that hate all that is good in life hand them out.

I'm guessing most of those Christians celebrate Christmas, but Christmas originated as an evil pagan holiday as well. Maybe you should inform them.

I was thinking exactly the same thing while watching it and to my dismay it was not there. What is wrong with some people? Did they wake up that morning and decide to take a bit more crazy than their normal dose? I really don't understand how people manage to go through life living like that.

Happy give kids type II diabetes day. I'll be passing out M&Ms which apparently are demonic so if anyone wants to get on Satan's good side stop by my place.

I firmly believe the truth of this story...

What it (and everything else I've eaten recently) has done to my once-visible abs is nothing short of


DEMONIC!!!!


Where's an exorcist when ya need one!


Then again... maybe being lazy and doing chemo is to blame...

Christmas never originated as an evil pagan holiday. The early Christians chose to celebrate Christmas on the only day they had off, which also happened to be a pagan holiday. It's nothing more than a date coinsidence. Just like how a guy I work with whose birthday is September 11, his wife's birthday is December 7, and their oldest son with turn 12 on December 21, 2012. A bunch of coinsidences that have nothing to do with each other.

It's nothing more than a date coinsidence. Just like how a guy I work with whose birthday is September 11, his wife's birthday is December 7, and their oldest son with turn 12 on December 21, 2012. A bunch of coinsidences that have nothing to do with each other.

The day they had off? Uh, I'm pretty sure people didn't have days off back then according to the calender date. I'm pretty sure it was according to the day of the week, which would make your "day off" reason invalid. They did it because they wanted their reason for the holiday to take over the old reason, much like they did with Easter. Whatever reason you want to give, the point is, it started out as another holiday and Christians adopted it for their own meaning, just like some Christians adopted Halloween as a day not related to the pagan reasons.

Christmas was an effort by Christians to convert Pagans by promising them they could still celebrate Saturnalia.

Roman pagans first introduced the holiday of Saturnalia, a week long period of lawlessness celebrated between December 17-25. During this period, Roman courts were closed, and Roman law dictated that no one could be punished for damaging property or injuring people during the week long celebration. The festival began when Roman authorities chose "an enemy of the Roman people" to represent the "Lord of Misrule." Each Roman community selected a victim whom they forced to indulge in food and other physical pleasures throughout the week. At the festival's conclusion, December 25th, Roman authorities believed they were destroying the forces of darkness by brutally murdering this innocent man or woman.

The devil is in the details. If you are exposing your kids to actual wichcraft and demons, then you are a tool. If you are dressing your kids up for some candy or letting them be their favorite cartoon character, you are a good parent. Children need fantasy. Imagine Kids thinking and processing information the way adults do. Depression would run rampant.

Christian fundamentalists have no sense of humor, nor any imagination.

They've got to be the most boring people on the planet.

No, it was pretty much what I said (but more detailed), but you should always cite your sources. Stand in the corner for five minutes.

I must be the exception.

And how can you say we have no imagination? According to a lot of people, we live a fantasy.

The scariest part is people like Pat Robertson and that woman are in positions of authority when they belong in a rubber room.
