Pat Robertson's Web Site Warns Against Demonic Halloween Candy
Opposing Views ^ | October 29, 2009 | Kimberly Daniels

. TV preacher Pat Robertson’s Web site has just issued a bulletin warning Americans of the real threat we face this season: Demons may be lurking in our Halloween candy.

In a column on the Christian Broadcasting Network’s Web site, writer Kimberly Daniels asserts that “demons” sneak into bags of Halloween candy at grocery stores.

“[M]ost of the candy sold during this season has been dedicated and prayed over by witches,” Daniels wrote. “I do not buy candy during the Halloween season. 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. The demons cannot tell the difference.”

The Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, urged Robertson and Daniels to lighten up.

“I’ve heard of the devil being in the details, but to think he’s lurking inside a Snickers bar is a little too much,” Lynn quipped. “Pat Robertson has always peddled some scary stuff, but this is over the top.”

Daniels asserts that far from being harmless fun, Halloween is a veritable doorway to hell, full of literal monsters.

“Halloween is much more than a holiday filled with fun and tricks or treats,” she wrote. “It is a time for the gathering of evil that masquerades behind the fictitious characters of Dracula, werewolves, mummies and witches on brooms. The truth is that these demons that have been presented as scary cartoons actually exist. I have prayed for witches who are addicted to drinking blood and howling at the moon.”

A co-worker brought kitty-litter cake to a party when I worked for Dow Chemical a few years back.

It was hilarious....and delicious!

Oh yeah?

Well, then take THIS!

Go To Hell
[Alice Cooper]

For criminal acts and violence on the stage
For being a brat
Refusing to act your age
For all of the decent citizens you’ve enraged
You can go to Hell
For gambling and drinking alcohol constantly
For making us doubt our parents authority
For choosing to be a living obscenity
You can go to Hell
You’re something that never should have happened
You even make your Grandma sick
You’d poison a blind man’s dog and steal his cane
You’d gift wrap a leper
And mail him to your Aunt Jane
You’d even force-feed a diabetic a candy cane
You can go to Hell
You’re something that never should have happened
You even make your Grandma sick
For criminal acts and violence on the stage
For being a brat
Refusing to act your age
For all of the decent citizens you’ve enraged
You can go to Hell

Funny, those who wouldn’t eat it also couldn’t watch others eat it. On the other hand, those eating it seemed to enjoy it more because of their courage. It is yummy.

I'll post this again because I think it's interesting psychology -

Those who wouldn’t eat it also couldn’t watch others eat it. On the other hand, those eating it seemed to enjoy it more because of their courage. It is yummy.

I would have eaten it even if the ingredients weren't known. Would you?

Just smell it first, just in case.

Yes, knowing it was food I would have.
I think many ‘Mothers’ have stronger stomachs, lol. We've had to clean up many a mess so things don't bother us as much.

Oh, yeah...in fact, I didn't know the ingredients when I ate it at the office party. I did just as you said...gave it a little sniff.

I had two helpings. I'm a "chocoholic" and that stuff is delicious. ;-)

Neccos The original candy wafer! My favorites are clove, chocolate, peppermint and the pink mint ones. The rest are ok too but ask my kids what my favorite candy is and they know it’s Neccos.
