Pat Roberson was right!

Demonkitkat

I read the Halloween warning published by the ever so helpful Pat Roberson. Being an atheist and all, I found it hard to believe that demons and witches were involved in the production of my Halloween candy. But if Pat Roberson makes a claim, no matter how outlandish and unfounded, it must be true, because he is a Christian and would never ever lie, at least that what my mom tells me. He would never just pull something out of his ass, right? I mean, he must have some kind of poof for his outrageous claims, right?

"During this period demons are assigned against those who participate in the rituals and festivities. These demons are automatically drawn to the fetishes that open doors for them to come into the lives of human beings. For example, most of the candy sold during this season has been dedicated and prayed over by witches."

I was concerned enough to go check on my candy stash. We have a family of Wiccan’s living across the street. They are all fat too. Perhaps they like candy? Perhaps they like my candy? The pressure was too much. I had to make sure my candy was safe.

I opened the refrigerator and found surprise. A demon working his magic on my Kit Kats. I managed to take a quick picture. It’s blurry, but you can tell that little green guy is a demon, right? The funny thing is, after I wrestled the candy from his grubby little claws. I felt compelled to eat it. Man… demon candy is the best! The kids are going to love it.

When I see these types of press releases it makes me wonder how can anyone really believe this. These same people that believe this are probably the same people that call those in Africa killing kids for being witches, idiots.
I used to think ol' Pat couldn't get any kookier.
They pulled the article, but Google cached it and I PDF-ed it.

That doesn't seem to be the whole article.
Yeah...I guess the Christian Broadcasting Network realized how utterly moronic the blog post was. Even THEY were embarrassed by the idiocy of the story.

You'd think they'd use some sense and preview the crap they post before hand..oh, wait... sense is not a theist forte.

The Huffington post had reported on it too:

I wouldn't be surprised if you don't see the CBN putting out a press release that it never happened or was some hacker doing it.
I think there just might be another reason why the Robertson-Cult pulled that post. Here in the 80s there where all sorts of federal laws passed pertaining to product tampering; this was after the Tylenol-cyanide poisonings. It’s even illegal to make the claim, a product has been tampered with; when you know it hasn’t been.

I don’t know if claims made about mythological beings tampering with candy, would also apply to the federal laws; but I’m sure there’s some degree of civil liability involved, when the candy makers may face potential losses, over such false claims? Nevertheless, I’m going shopping for candy today, and see if I can get as lucky, and bring home some good old witches too!

I can't give the guy that much credit. I think they realized how totally stupid it was and made it go away.
