Halloween candy = Satan

** Update: CBN removed the article from their site, but the original text is here.

Oh, the nuts at CBN (Christian Broadcasting Network) are working overtime. As the Huffington Post noticed:

Pat Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network posted a blog by Kimberly Daniels recently that warns Christians to forgo celebrating Halloween because of its evilness. Daniels specifically calls out candy as a source of soul-molestation:

"During this period demons are assigned against those who participate in the rituals and festivities. These demons are automatically drawn to the fetishes that open doors for them to come into the lives of human beings. For example, most of the candy sold during this season has been dedicated and prayed over by witches."
Obviously, we shouldn't be buying Halloween candy, but what about getting it by trick-or-treating?
"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."

So... do people really believe that M&M/Mars, Hershey's and Nestle hire witches to pray over the assembly lines? Or maybe it happens at the candy distributors-- I'll bet those are totally run by warlocks and witches, not by normal business owners. Yeah, that's gotta be it, and that would explain why "most" of the candy has been cursed: it's obvious that the distributors are unionized and are required to take breaks every hour, so some candy slips by unmolested.

Bottom line, probably best to bring a Ouija board with you when you go candy shopping, so you can identify and avoid the demonic treats.
