Good old Pat is always good for a laugh – if you can avoid, for a moment, thinking about how many people take him seriously – but it seems to me that over the last year or so he’s ramped up the frequency of Newsworthy Stupidity.
Robertson, eager to move on from the divorce is just fine as long as your wife has Alzheimer’s brouhaha, decided to carry us into October by dusting off an old meme: “Halloween is Satan’s night”.
“We don’t believe” in ghosts and spirits, but be afraid of them, be very afraid! It turns out, you see, that Pat’s network has engaged in investigative journalism to discover that:
“[M]ost 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.”
I’m curious whether Pat approves of dressing up in scary costumes and playing spooky noises in dimly lit areas so long as it’s done with the express purpose of traumatizing children into Christianity?
Is it too much to hope he’s planning to retire soon, and these are just his efforts to squeeze out a little bit extra of the crazy in the hopes of going out at the top of his game?
