No, I'm not talking about the soliciting of funds for relief in Rwanda that actually were spent on Diamond mining operations in Zaire with dictator President Mobutu Sese Seko and to benefit other African genocidal madmen. I'm not talking about questionable use of Katrina relief funds or various tax-evasion charges. This Bozo runs a faith-based circus of stupidity and one of his side show acts is to be the grinch who stole Halloween or All Saints Day as it was known for a while.
Robertson's God forsaken parody of a broadcasting network, CBN, has a dire warning on its blog about virtually all Halloween candy having been "prayed over" by witches and carrying curses and spells which will be absorbed by any children eating it. Halloween is dangerous, it warns. Don't buy candy in October! It's a holy day, but if it's not a Christian holy day, it's a SATANIC holy day. Nice insult to the vast majority of humanity that's given up belief that ancient Celtic religious practices had anything to do with the Devil the Christians invented to demonize other religions.
"Curses are sent through the tricks and treats of the innocent whether they get it by going door to door or by purchasing it from the local grocery store." Says CBN.comThe colors orange brown and red are dedicated to Satan. Respect for the Earth is Satanic. Bonfires are about Satan, even the harvest is about Satan. Everything he doesn't like is Satan -- everything is Satan and the world is full of evil entities and magic and spells and his followers listen with a straight face.
I could go on, but there's enough raging pathological, libelous insanity and foul ugliness to drive any normal person to projectile vomiting. Read it yourself,** but there's something wrong with a nation that once considered this man for President, something insane about a Nation that still talks about witches and spells and a political party that embraces this ugly medieval madness.

ReplyDeleteSatans an "Autumn"? Who knew? Does he wear Earth Shoes, too?
I heard he wears Prada, but who knows?
ReplyDeleteYour humble cephalopod is doing everything with his power to support demon worship (above post), and I hope you wholeheartedly approve.

ReplyDeleteCapt Fogg,
No sooner do they take the article down, but they put up a counterpoint to it:
Here the author is basically saying sarcastically that it is real christian to turn away children in bunny costumes and hide from satan in churches. It's a good read.
The best part of the article?
Never forget: Jesus came to serve the sick and broken. He loved being at the well, by the sea, and in the marketplace. He would never have said "run and hide, its Halloween!"
Thanks for that link - surprising and a bit refreshing, not that I think Halloween has anything to do with anything but candy these days. After all nobody at the house of Robertson seems to complain too much about our very pagan Easter celebrations, or Christmas trees or that Jesus was born in the spring and not on Mithras' birthday.
ReplyDeleteNo, I can't imagine Jesus telling the kids to get off his lawn or worrying about demons in a Tootsie Roll or pumpkin either.
I seem to recall something about not complaining about your taxes or seeking redemption with your pockets full of money stolen from the poor.
Whether or not there is some accounting for what we do in life, Robertson and his cohorts do make me think of Dante's visions.
Ya know, Fogg. Until this post I had blissfully forgotten about Pat. He had drifted away from that portion of my brain reserved for button pushing folk such as him. . .
ReplyDeleteDarn it! Now you've reminded me about how irritating he is! He's back!
all too appropriate for Halloween!
Pat Robertson in business with the homicidal maniac Mobuto Sese Seko is one of the great spiritual unions of our time.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's all sickening enough, but listen to this recent interview where he "debates" with Larry Flynt.

Seems Man-O-God Robertson likes to masturbate to Hustler magazine and paid a prostitute to let him whip her while she poured hot wax on him.
God forgives him for this sick shit, as he says, but the prostitute needs to be punished.
Will people PLEASE stop calling him a Christian and start calling him what he is: a sick, mean, creepy little pervert who doesn't deserve even to ask for forgiveness from anyone?
If red is the color of Satan than doesn't that mean Satan is coursing through the veins of Pat Robertson? And brown being the cover of most Bibles means that the word of "God" is actually the word of Satan!!!!!!!! That should make the fundies heads explode. And to think these people can vote.
ReplyDeleteNow that is scary. Next Halloween they'll have to top themselves. So I'm sure they'll say Obama is the devil and dressing as him for Halloween is asking to be possessed. The United Stupids of America strike again!!
They've already said he is the devil and the auntie-Christ too!
ReplyDeleteIf they're not careful they'll use up all the straw men and then where will they be?
