Doesn’t sound so terrible. I know where to start or maybe they are the start.

7. In that world...anything involving "witches" is satanic

They truly believe that any exposure, no matter how benign, to things outside their worldview opens the door to "Satan". You can apply that logic to damn near everything the Christian Right opposes. What it amounts to is thought control and mass brain washing of these people that they truly believe their nonsense. They start these lessons early on in Vacation Bible School and Sunday School lessons for kids. Who's the groomers, again?

I was raised in an environment one generation removed from one that would have literally ripped those whorish hoop earrings out of her pierced ears and scrubbed her makeup off with a piece of burlap and lye soap.

When she was allowed to speak again she would thank them and apologize for her wicked way.

No, I am not exaggerating or kidding.

Ah, well… FAFO I guess.

People who call themselves Christian seem to spend an unholy amount of time thinking about, looking for, finding, talking-up devils, demons, witches and worse* instead of centering mind and activity upon their God, in worship, contemplation, meditation or simply the silence of being good .

* The blasphemous idea that there exists a parallel evil world made entirely (evil out of nothing) by a parallel creator. If this parallel evil, not created by God is real, then the Christian God is false.
If the parallel world is not real then there is nothing to fear, remove or change.

14. Hocus Pocus was always a Halloween tradition with our kids...I loved the movie...if you have

never seen it, Watch It! The new Hocus Pocus was excellent and a great deal of fun...you can't do any better than Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy. I swear they looked the same. The movie was excellent and it seems the 'witches that be' are brewing up a
Hocus Pocus 3.

'While Disney+ hasn't confirmed another Hocus Pocus sequel yet, there is a good chance fans could get another film. Not only did the sequel recently become Disney+'s No. 1 movie debut domestically to date, but the cast has already expressed interest in reprising their roles.'
