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.”

Lol, I know, but because we cleaned up things that would make a man run away, it doesn't turn our stomachs to look at your Kitty Litter Cake!

The light purple ones are the clove flavored, and I forgot to mention there are licorice ones as well that I really like.

The old fashioned looking packaging is definitely part of the appeal too.

Yes ma’am, thank you!

[until I went up with the other women for our half of the contest, a lot people thought I was a guy. I’m not sure if that’s a compliment to the costume or comment on my looks]...:))

Out of 64 gals, I came in 3rd to these ladies.

So THAT’s what that flavor is! Thanks for filling me in after all these decades!

I think the chocolate ones are my favorite, but depends on my mood :-)

I thought they quit making it.

You can’t find it anywhere in my area and I haven’t seen it around in *years*.

I loved the Teaberry and my cousin was a Black Jack fiend...:)

You want Teaberry and Black Jack, then you got it. It was late last night and I was too groggy to think of looking at my bookmark where they sell rare candies.

Teaberry Gum - each pack has 5 sticks. A box of 20 packs is $5.99

Black Jack, Beemans and Clove Gum... the old time favorites have briefly returned. Adams makes these gums every 3 years. When they are gone, they are gone. A box of (20) 5-stick packs is $12.99
