Somewhere, someone is having fun this Halloween...

And that gives Pat Robertson a sad.

Pat Robertson: Halloween Is Satan Worship

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Monday, 9/26/2016 1:50 pm

Today on “The 700 Club,” Pat Robertson advised a viewer not to let her son attend a haunted house on Halloween and instead to explain to him that the devil is using the holiday to try to “destroy you.”

“Mother, don’t let your babies grow up to be demon-worshippers, if I can quote from Willie Nelson,” he said. “Don’t let him do it.”

Robertson said churches should organize their own alternative events with “all the nice, pretty girls and all the handsome boys” where “they’re praising the Lord instead of worshiping Satan.”

“Halloween has become a night when the devil rejoices,” Robertson added.

It's not as if they can't just rerun the old episodes and anyone would notice.

Pat Robertson is an idiot. People who make decisions and opinions about things with out educating themselves are idiots. Halloween is a Pagan based holiday and was meant to scare evil away not invite it in.

Remember Christmas is pretty much just a company branded holiday with a lot of pagan influences. So you may want to think about protesting that. Also he says “all the nice, pretty girls and all the handsome boys” at least to me a off statement. I guess you have to meet his standards of beauty. From what I've seen is green for money sent to him.

In the comic, Timmy went to a haunted house and died! Because that's what happens to everyone who goes outside on Halloween.

Scroll down he and read the entire goofy comic:

He paraphrased Willie by changing words in the quote.
