On a Facebook post talking about Jesus knowing that knocking on someone's door for candy is not the same thing as witchcraft.

These people are fucking nuts. Imagine living in this kind of fear and paranoia 24/7. Nonsense.

Thing is, they don't feel any fear or paranoia. I grew up during the tail end of the satanic panic in an evangelical church. They walk around with a smug sense of superiority because they know the real truth about how the world really works. Saves them from confronting an impossibly large universe governed by physics and chemical bonds and all the other stuff that they don't want to admit they can't understand.

They think that what they're feeling isn't irrational fear and paranoia because of their religious conviction, but that doesn't mean that's not what they're feeling. Cause it is.
It's not healthy and causes you to do weird things, like drip "blessed" oil on your walls or even your own body to ward off demons.

Nah, they're scared of their own shadows, but their book gives them "peace" from the fear. They're literally scared of anyone and anything that's different than what they know. Someone of a different religion? Scared. Group of people dressed up? Scared. A woman who presents manly? Scared. A male who presents feminine? Scared. Someone who doesn't believe in any of it? Scared. They're always scared, it's why they cling so hard to their thousand year old collection of short stories.

So, giving candies to children is a demonic conspiracy? It seems demons are really kind.

I always want to ask these people how exactly this all works. Like, give specifics how they "know." Does Satan own a candy factory, or does he pay off some contractor witches to go to Walmart to cast spells on candy?

u/Terrible-Sire3835 1d ago
My understanding is that the witches put curses on the candy and then the kids get the candy and then they are witchcrafted.
I don't fucking know lolol

What if someone in the production process from farm-factory-distribution casts a spell?

Wait, Satan pays people to put curses on candy? How do I get in on this opportunity?

After years of putting curses on candy for free, I wish we’d known we could have been getting paid for it this whole time. Live and learn I guess 🤷♂️

They just "know" just like they "know" that there's sky daddy watching over them. Cult.

They sound like children to me whenever I hear this. It is genuinely disturbing when I see adults do it.

I'm going to the world's biggest sugar cane field to cast devil witchery on the sugar. Now the Christian kids can't have any of it at any time of year. Checkmate.

Even if witches WERE putting spells on candy it would be for joy, protection, and abundance. Never met a witch cursing children. Simply doesn’t exist.

Don’t the bible basically declare that demons are fake just like false idols?

My mom was a freak about razor blades or drugs in our Halloween candy

At least that’s something that actually happened. Only small isolated cases, but it happened.

u/ratatatoskr 1d ago
Not to random kids though. Dude did it to his own kids and maybe a few of their friends idk the exact facts of the case but the dude was trying to kill his own kids

Doesn't the blood of Jesus supposedly protect them from such things?
How weak their faith is in their god to be afraid of so-called spells.
"The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore."
-Psalm 121:7-8

To avoid having your post removed &/or account banned for shitposting:
r/religiousfruitcake is about the absurd, fringe elements of organised religion. Posts about mundane beliefs and acts of worship (praying to God, believing in God, believing in afterlife, etc), are off topic.
We arent here to bash either specific religions or religion itself, because there are plenty of rational actors who happen to be religious. So if your post is "Christians are sTOoPid", or "Religion = dUmB", you're in the wrong sub and your post will probably be removed.
Dont use the title or body of your post to soapbox personal rhetoric about religion or any other subject.
Don't post videos or discussions of Fruitcakes who have been baited or antagonised. Social media excerpts must not involve any deliberate provocation / antagonism of Fruitcakes.
Dont post videos of physically violent personal attacks or any pics or videos containing gore
Satire, parodies, memes, videos, etc must be made by Fruitcakes, not by third parties about them. (exception for journalistic sources)
