Linda Harvey: Halloween Hands Kids Over To Satan On A Silver Platter

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Monday, 10/26/2015 5:00 pm

On Friday, Mission America’s Linda Harvey delivered her annual Halloween warning, this time telling parents to keep their children away from the holiday festivities. “Halloween celebrates the spirits of darkness like no other event,” she warned, claiming that demonic forces “are more active than ever in recent times in America because we are inviting their activity in our lives. So here’s my question about Halloween: Why hand your children to dark spiritual powers on a silver platter?” While it starts with children trick-or-treating for candy, she said, it then turns into parties, which she said are demonic and dangerous.

More candy for me ...

If you took Halloween away from me when I was a kid, I would have lost it.

How else does that person think we'll get the next generation to continue the sacrifices of christian babies to the Prince of Lies? Satan has a pretty specific diet and he doesn't exactly have time to run down to the corner store to pick up the other, other white meat.

Too bad these idiots think it's real.

I should start my own religion/church and separate these idiots from their cash.

and given the help and medication they so desperately need.

This kind of profoundly disordered thinking is reflective of a severe and deep-seated mental illness, and I am completely serious.

Long past time for sane people t start loudly and publicly calling these delusional dingbats out for exactly what they are - batshit crazy and clinically mentally ill.

Somehow I manage to feel a little more disdain for religion and its idiocies every day.

Fun, games, costumes, lots of candy, and selling your soul to Beelzebub for all eternity.
