. 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.”

Even candy corn is better then those things.
There are two reason for the sealed package. One is that a open wrapper can be opened, the candy tampered with and closed back up. This is fairy easy to do to a chocolate candy not so with a compressed dust candy which is why you will find Neccos and Sweet Tarts in a unsealed wrapper.
The second reason is pretty easy to see. Take a wrapped bulk peppermint patty and smash. Candy guts go everywhere getting all over the rack and everything else. Try the same with the sealed package and the mess stays neatly in the wrapper.
Does anybody actually like Circus Peanuts?

Deal!
“I have prayed for witches who are addicted to drinking blood and howling at the moon.”
Well, Hells Bells! Who hasn’t done that? What’s THAT got to do with my chocolate addiction? ;)
(I prefer Easter candy to Halloween candy, anyway...)
:-)
Looks like liberal chr*stians have found a holiday they approve of.

Not without hazmat gear, you betcha.
That eeeeeeeeeeeevil chocolate will trap you every time!
Leap of logic? Not any more than equating wiccans with devil worship.
Whatever is not of God is of the devil.
Denying that is pointless.
Satan’s most effective tactic has always been to convince people he does not exist.
Okay, now that scares me.
Your argument is specious and pointless. The United States, the Constitution and many other things you take for granted are not mentioned in the bible so then they must be of the devil. For that matter the only religious belief mentioned in the old testament is Judaism so all other beliefs must be of the devil. An absurd and brainless point of view. God and Satan certainly exist as does your right to believe whatever you like; as long as you don’t make like a muslim or a democrat and try to deny or put down anyone’s right to believe or NOT believe, a right that is guaranteed by our Constitution.
