Pokémon Your Way to Hell

It's super effective!

Regional TV evangelists are essentially a bottomless well of insane, ill-informed hyperbole, so it honestly shouldn't be too surprising to see this nutty diatribe on the satanic powers of Pokémon. Still, it's a slow news day, and I enjoy things that are profoundly absurd, so here we go!
   

 
 
I really enjoy how this guy spends the first full minute explaining, in pretty concise, accurate detail, what Pokémon are, before launching into this awesome paranoid rant about dark realms and evil forces. I mean, seriously dude, it's just Pokémon. It's not like we're talking about Digimon or, God forbid, Yu-Gi-Oh!

That just made my day. 
I also love how he talks about "rock music" and the "perverted primetime television" and the "movie in-dust-ree".

That's funny.  I remember I visited my friend's church when I was a kid and the whole afternoon was a talk with the title "Why Papa Smurf is the devil"  It went from what could have been the worst afternoon ever to probably one of the funniest.

I totally know what he's talking about, demons love pokemon.  Like the one in my closet for example, man he use to come out of there and scare me like 4 times a week.  Now though he just sits in there all fucking day and plays Pokemon.  I get a good night sleep every night because he won't take a break.  He doesn't even have the new ones, he is still playing Pokemon yellow on an original gameboy.  I tried to give him a DS with a new pokemon game, but he's so obsessed that he wouldn't stop playing to even look at it.  Demons love Pokemon way too much.

Really, this guy isn't much different from all the politicians and activists who say the same thing (PEOPLE ARE DUMB AND CAN'T DISTINGUISH REALITY FROM FANTASY). The only real difference is that he actually believes it.

Awesome. Just brilliant. I seriously hope this isn't recent. 
 
God, I love it when organized religion is dumb. I remember watching a Halloween special on The History Channel that showed some of the propaganda that a bunch of fundamentalist assholes made to combat Halloween. It was about as dumb as this video.
 
Don't get me wrong, I was born and raised in the Roman Catholic church. But that doesn't mean I agree with every fundamentalist idiot that spews this kind of bullshit. Honestly, these people are almost as bad as (if not worse than) the cults they claim to be against.
 
It's all a little fucked up.

pokemon is just a game, then he says russian roulette is just a game...  he is out of it.  chess is just a game, a game that represents a medieval battle, so is that wrong now?  so after I checkmate my friend, I'll kill him too with my .45 just for fun right.  hah.
