Disney is coming for your children, says Jamie Gooch.
“Do not watch this film,” she warned, “Everybody thinks it’s fake and innocent, but they could be casting any type of spell that they want to, anything could be coming through that TV screen into your home.”
The crazy religious people around here have gone past the point of absurd, and into plain stupid territory.
I mean they profess to be good Christians, yet somehow despite Christianity having NO recognition of any supernatural anything other than Christ, they believe in spells, witches, demons, etc… and won’t do Halloween because it’s a pagan holiday, etc…
I can’t roll my eyes hard enough when I hear about harvest festivals in lieu of Halloween at churches or from churchy people. If nothing else, my fellow white people should view it as a cultural celebration, not a religious one.
I bet their heads would explode if they figured out where Easter comes from…
Our closest neighbors include hyper-Christian parents. Our limited interactions have been cordial, so I should probably resist the temptation to put up Halloween decorations redolent of witchcraft and other potentially disturbing imagery.
We’ll instead concentrate on indoor displays to freak out the dog.
You know how sometimes the stupid is so, er, stupid, you just can’t really come up with anything to say? This is like that. Looks like she pulled her Facebook post also. Maybe she didn’t get all the love she expected for warning people.
I recall a conversation I had with a pastor which warned about such things as celebrating halloween and even going to other people’s homes who were of non-Christian faith as not to allow demons in. I said didn’t you just preach that the power of Christ is supreme over all demons, and that power lives in us, and that we are free in Christ. then why the hell did Jesus give that to us if we are not to use it. Why are we hiding in a spirit of fear which the Bible states God does not give, thus is a demonic spirit) when God gives a spirit of power. Is this not taking a gift of God and burying it in the ground.
While it may be good for spiritually immature christians to stay away from such things, once they are off milk and on solid food (spiritually), they need to start their life in Christ where He sends them and walking in faith and the Holy Spirit as Jesus did.
The pastor was a bit confused by his own words, stumbling over them at first and falling silent in thought over that.
Roughly speaking Christians canonically believe in witches, necromancers, demons, angels, etc. The Roman Catholic church has a rite of Exorcism, for instance.
The other day, I was prevented from starting a Secrets of Sulphur Springs marathon with my sister in the Big House living room because my landlady heard the word “seance” and freaked out.
