Just talking to someone else, and told him how once in school a girl told me; "Pokemon is satanic, because if you turn the P into a D and put it behind the K it says OK Demon!"
(Which technically makes Christmas satanic, cause Santa Clause is an anagram for SATAN Clause)
I grew up in a very conservative Protestant Christian community, and people believed all kinds of weird things like this, like that wearing black lipstick or nail varnish meant you're a devil worshipper.
Who else has experianced people like this and what is the weirdest thing you have heard them believe?

A friend of mine has relatives who refuse to have cable TV in their homes because they consider cable TV wicked and "of the devil" because of content they would never watch anyway.
Another of her relatives threw out a psychology book her daughter had on the subject of dream interpretation because she considered the subject of dream interpretation to be "satanic".

I literally have a coworker who believes: 1. Harry Potter is satanic, and will possess his kids 2. Hollywood is satanic, so his family's not allowed to watch movies.... period. 3. Dinosaurs never existed. It's all a lie. 4. There is no such thing as evolution, etc. 5. God destroyed New Orleans because there was going to be a gay pride parade there. This guy is also a major pothead, beats his wife and kids, has been to prison for dealing crack coccaine, and has the police at his house about once a month.

Dear Anria,
I would caution you not to look at people because "people" are not the standard by which we measure. If you want truth, you need to study the Bible. I say this because you were brought up in a Protestant Christian Community. None of us can see what is in the heart of another person, so we cannot determine whether a person is a child of God (saved) or not. Let me say this, though, all people start out as servants of satan because we are all sinners. If Christ has chosen to save a person, He must pay for all their sins, and give them a new resurrected soul. It is all the work of Christ--we cannot do anything. If Christ has saved a person, they are translated out of the kingdom of darkness and trnslated into the kingdom of light. The Lord tells us in 1 John 2:3, 4: "Herein we do know that we know him if we keep his commandments. He that saith I know him and keepeth not his commandments is a liar and the truth is not in him."

Or some Christians think the Muslim veil is evil because veil is an anagram of evil...maybe they have a point but I doubt it.

They're everywhere in my family. Mostly Southern Baptists (among other things)... and mostly superstitious hillbillies. Of course, me being Wiccan really set those people off... by me just breathing in and out is causing evil to roam the earth. *wink*

Thankfully, only out here. Although it's possible that I do know some, but I don't know it because we haven't discussed religion.

It's quite sad that people have no sympathy for the Devil!
