(Responding to another fundie who says he went to see "Paranormal Activity")
You open doorways to the demons that way.. and there probably was one or many there... In opening these doorways it is just like inviting satan to come live with you... just because you went home also doesn't mean the demonic forces didn't come with you and while prayer can work it still can be present in your home... You must call on the name of christ that all evil be commanded to leave your house and yourself and through that power in christ be banned.. This will help in driving them out but remember those chills you had are called discernment.. No I won't go see it as it's only purpose is to open the door to the Occult and to the demonic forces there are no ghosts nor familar spirits... I would encourge you to actively and openly discuss this with your pastor.. Do not let pride fear or shame deter you from that nor isolate you away from your church family

Oh give me a freakin' break. It's just a damn movie. No cosmic boogeyman is going to follow you home because you wanted to see a horror movie. I suppose they also buy into the urban legend that all the actors and everyone who worked on the movie Poltergeist died under mysterious circumstances.
I know it's Rapture Ready, but do these people ever even stop, step back, and actually read what they post? Do they ever realize how crazy it really sounds? Apparently not.
And why is it that people who don't believe in demons are never bothered by them? It's always the ultra-superstitious religious idiots who are having problems with "demonic manifestations.
Pendragon? Does this idiot not know what his pseudonym means? It's Welsh for the Head of the Devil/Dragon.
I suppose that's opening a door for a Demon too, if there's anything in there for the Demon to be bothered with.
PROTIP: "Poltergeist" is not a documentary. And "Saw" & "Hostel" aren't actual 'Snuff' films.
But then, we're dealing with Ruptured Retards. A 4chan /b/-esque 'Me too, me too!' circlejerk which believes a book containing the ramblings of Bronze Age goatfuckers with ideas above their stations is fact , so what should we expect?
And anyway, what is a fundie on RR doing in a cinema watching horror films? Shouldn't you be at home, praying & waiting, waiting & praying ad infinitum ad nauseam, for that (trouser) trumpet from above, heralding your being sucked off?
...not that I actually watched it... i peeked in on it every now and then while a friend was watching it on the internet, and there was always the female lead screaming and not much else happening besides. some boring silly crap that was. Sitting through that in a cinema you'd almost wish for a demon following you, just so something would happen.
@Anon-e-moose : Oh, it gets better. The Rapture isn't even IN the Bible. I can almost understand buying into old bullshit because its age might convince you it's worthwhile, but these guys are buying into new bullshit that just happens to smell like the old stuff to them.
All these things that keep following me home: dogs, cats, demons. They're so cute but you know if you feed them once then they'll keep coming back for more. Luckily I'm out of small children to feed to the demons.
Actually, it's not so much a doorway as it is a window... no, that's not quite right either... Manhole? ... Demon-hole? ... What do they call that window at doctor's offices with the slidey glass thingy? It's kind of like that except instead of glass, it's got an imaginary bucket full of bullcrap, and it doesn't so much slide as it fills up an empty head and creates blinding stupidity. Hence the phrase, "Out! Out, you demons of stupidity!"
Now look what you did. You went and broke my brain again!
Hooooooly crap. It's just a movie. It's fiction.
I once told a ghost story at a campfire. Does that mean I've invited demons into my life? Is EVERYTHING a path to the devil?
I imagine having this view would be very stressful. At some point, wouldn't someone just have to never do/see/say anything ever just to avoid all the demons?
This is like saying that seeing the movie Jaws makes you vulnerable to getting eaten by a shark...
Oh, and everybuddy, Satan says hi and keep up the good work!
@Old Viking: (whispers) He doesn't clean often and I think he's the one whose been eating my Extreme Dill Pringles...
The only demon in that whole movie was the Demon of Hollywood* who suckered me out of $7 for a mediocre movie.
*Note that the Demon of Hollywood is pure fiction and used as a figure of speech, of course this disclaimer wouldn't be needed if you folks at RR learned the difference between fiction and reality.
and a movie about a couple being attacked by a demon is promoting the occult how?
I came away from that movie wanting very little to do with demons myself.
hell, you could have even used this movie as a good chance to preach. "if they followed the word of god they could have banished the beast through the power of faith"
I'd listen, under such circumstances waving a bible around seems like a good idea.

I think they have some notion that Arthur Pendragon vanquished the evil old pagans. Whatever. I have watched many a scary movie...watching one right now as a matter of fact, and not one demon. Oh, I don't believe in demons. But still.
> You must call on the name of christ that all evil be commanded to leave your house and yourself and through that power in christ be banned..
Buy if the name of the demon happens to be Christ...
> Do not let pride fear or shame deter you
But you guys already live on pride (I deserve and will be saved), fear (hell), and shame (sin).
@Clown and Nihlum: It is called Fantasy Personality. The inability to determine reality from fantasy. As you might suspect, xians as a group are more predisposed to it. Or perhaps, those with Fantasy Personality are more predisposed to be xians. I cant remember which. I basically call it "batshit crazy" and leave it at that.
No, Pendragon, you are the demons.
And then Pendragon was a zombie.
Oh goodie! My favourite, I love demon talk. Actually, I've got thousands of them round here. Can't seem to get rid of them. I have tried commmanding them in the name of Christ to leave my house but they just ignore me.
Being Welsh, I don't think I have the accent for it. I think what is needed is an American accent and a pompous demeanour. Of course, it helps if one has an audience that is half awstruck by ones authoritarian charisma and half drooling simpleton for mistaking ones fatuous bullshit for knowledgeable steadfastness.
4 Step Perfect Proof for the Flying Spaghetti Monster
The Flying Spaghetti Monster said He proves Himself by observing pasta. Let's see if He is right. 1) Something can't come from that which does not exist, so pasta requires a cause. 2) Pasta can't always have existed because a) heat death would be far greater than it is, and b) mankind would have approximated into that alleged past eternity and not still be perfecting capellini all'amatriciana to the extent it still does along the exponential progression of conscience we are clearly on. What other option is there than the uncaused (uncreated) created?
Choose the one true faith (true reality) that comes out on top from the ones that are accessible: Christianity, Hinduism/Buddhism, Islam, Pastafarianism. Obviously Pastafarianism is the most personal because the Flying Spaghetti Monster reveals Himself in linguine. And only the Flying Spaghetti Monster is proven by the pirate proof and multiple resurrection appearances in various group settings, e.g.,
If you want to be eternally separated from the Flying Spaghetti Monster, it’s your choice to send yourself to be boiled in marinara. Unwittingly, however, you lead many people to the Flying Spaghetti Monster and strengthen the faith of Pastafarians and lead them to the stripper factory and the beer volcano because you are unable to disprove the perfect proof for the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
RAmen.
Pendragon,
Did you know that every computer on earth runs daemons? It's true...
In any multitasking software, it's the daemons that run in the background, Well windows lies and calls them 'services' but their really the same thing. So every time you do something on your computer like send something to the printer, you're using a daemon.
Best to soak your computer for 15 minutes in holy water, then drop it off a cliff.
It's actually quite sad. The people at RR are literally terrified of everything, so much so that even leaving their house is an event fraught with terror. Everything sight is a sign of the apocalypse, every sound a portent of the end of the world, every deed some form of terrible persecution.
They're so wrapped up in their delusions that they can't even go to the cinema without visions of demonic possession dancing madly in their fevered brains.
I pity them, I really do.
Confused?
