Hilarious Moments Where Religious Fanatics Tagged Completely Normal Things As Satanic
What's the stupidest thing you've ever seen a religious person call "satanic"?
When you hear the word "satanism," what's the first thing that pops into your mind? Is it the German Neue Deutsche Härte band Rammstein? Or a night gathering of people in black garments at the graveyard? Or perhaps you are thinking of a witch using animals to concoct some sort of potion?
The Satanic Panic of the 1980s saw Christian extremists promote the belief that demonic societies were methodically preying on children. In addition, they pushed the notion that these groups were not only abusing children in rituals but were also responsible for mass murders in communities.
As beautiful as religion can be, extremists were constantly twisting the Church's beliefs and practices. They sought to create a real-world villain behind the conspiracy so that the media could recognize it. Moreover, traces of this era still linger.
We can see proof in a recent Reddit thread where one user, Dreammare56, posted an interesting question: "What's the stupidest thing [you've] ever seen a religious person refer to as satanic?"
