Ben Stiller tried to warn us about these toys back in the early 90's!https://www.youtube.com/wat...

My husband swears his high school principal was named Harry Dick and he was married to Anita.

She's complaining that her generation and the younger generation coming up are obsessed with astrology? I fully expect Nancy Reagan to strike her down with a thunderbolt!

It's sort of weird that they are complaining about this. I thought we were supposed to be getting kids interested in religion. Christians want prayer at highschool football games? Fine! My kid wants to sacrifice a goat at halftime.

The only "Christian nightmare" I have is from the PTSD from being one 35 years ago.

Isn't prayer a form of "manifesting"? Or at least the hope of manifesting?

This line was great: "In fact, it kind of seems like the only non-fictional people who practice witchcraft the way evangelicals think people practice witchcraft are future evangelicals."

And dweebs like Smug Christian Girl above choose to worry about toys that teach kids to cast spells (which don't work) rather than ready availability of guns (which work all too well).Fuuuuuuccccck ...

People shouldn't buy HP books but that's because Rowling's a gross TERF, not because they're a Gateway to Satan.

But didn't her god create Lucifer and allow him to rebel and set up shop in his own little anti-heaven? You'd think he could put a stop to this whole "satanic indoctrination" at any time, no?

No, because if God created Satan then God is responsible for all the evil in the world -- as well as all the good. Even if there is not Satan, if God made the world then he also made all the evil in the world. I've done the research! and God exists he is a monster that we should work to destroy.

The thing about passage quoted from "Christian Nightmare" is that it sounds as much like something Onion would cook up. It lacks the feel of sincerity.

When I’m too tired and drowsy for a book, but still can’t fall asleep, letting a computer-solitaire program auto-run slowly — reading the cards as their Tarot equivalents — and turning them into a story — transitions nicely to a dream.

E.g.: 🃚 onto 🂻 → burdens (ten of wands) added to a romantic (knight of cups).

A lot of folks can do better than that, and turn their cars into *garages* — right by the alleys!

Remember, Satan is an anagram of SANTA.
