Pat Robertson’s Christian Broadcasting Network Warns Americans Of ‘Demonic’ Halloween Candy

Put aside your fears of swine flu. 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.

“Most 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.”

Added Lynn, “I hate to see all of that candy go to waste. I wish Robertson would send it to me, because I’m throwing a Halloween party and could use it.”

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.”

Robertson, founder of the Christian Coalition and an influential player in American politics, has long opposed Halloween. As far back as 1982, he attacked the holiday as a “Satanic ritual” and said on the air, “I think we ought to close Halloween down.”

CBN later produced a pamphlet titled “Hallowed or Harmful: Christian Perspective on Halloween.” It asserted, “During Halloween, little children in particular are the weak ones.”

On Oct. 29, 2007, Robertson called Halloween a “festival of the devil” and added that celebrating the holiday is “a mistake for Christians.”

Lynn urged Robertson to take a deep breath and try to relax.

“I think Pat has been watching too many scary movies,” Lynn said. “Still, if he doesn’t want to celebrate Halloween, that’s fine with me, but he should quit trying to spoil everyone else’s fun.”

Americans United is a religious liberty watchdog group based in Washington, D.C. Founded in 1947, the organization educates Americans about the importance of church-state separation in safeguarding religious freedom.

Best anti-Halloween story so far this season.
Beware of the demonic candy........................................

Oh, dear.

Then again, hey, there might be a cottage industry here.

I'm thinking, "Velvet Spider's Homemade Demon-Free Candy Corn."

(Is that money I smell...?)

wow thats so funny and extremely silly at the same time.

Its a candy bar gonna spew green goo at me at the candy isle

Finally! I no longer have to be responsible for my own sweet tooth -- it's the demonic candy's fault! <-- banana runt

LOL. Are you sure this is not from the Onion?

Prayed over by witches? Like the candy manufacturers need any extra help to get their product sold. Honestly, if their faith in their god is all that strong (and provided he actually exists), shouldn't these supposed prayers be...null...and void? If a little demon is really infesting the candy, shouldn't they flee once a True Christian ^TM bites into it?

Surely witches have better things to do with their time than "pray" over a mini-Twix.

Wish I had a mini-Twix.

I wish I had a whole bag of candy. Wait, I'll just click my heels three times and fly off on my broom to the store.

Lovin' that.


But what about ALLLLL the churches that are holding trunk or treats.
There are fathoms of them. hmmmm??

For those that don't know what these are, this is trick or treating open to the public. It's held in the church parking lots by the members who decorate their open car trunks and children go car to car getting candy and or other treats. Other organizations besides churches do this too, but a great deal many of them are held by churches.

Well witches obviously use candy corn at their alters, but the stuff about Snickers is silly. The people of Mars Incorporated candy production are alien invaders, lets not be silly.

we have trunk and treats everywhere in TN, heck the churches there supplied most of the candy companies proffits just for all of the Halloween stuff they put on, and yet most of them would probably say something simmalar to this. That is why I hate TN. stupid, stupid people.

but really, that article made my day!

I see trunk or treat a lot in the Churches of Christ but it seems to be a protestant thing. Even though I have never participated in said event (my parents let me trick or treat when I was younger), but from what I have seen, adults set up their cars in the church parking lot and fill their trunks with loads of candy to hand out to all the young kids.
