Larson gets it wrong-- again
Yes, yes, i know. he gets a lot of things wrong when he gets carried away with himself. But this week's BS "blog" entry he or his interent monkey posted was particularly bad.

Historical Revisionism
Monday, June 26, 2017
A selfie at Stonehenge.
“Historical revisionism” is usually an academic pursuit, the scholarly challenge to orthodox views of the past. It’s usually done as the result of new facts or evidence that sheds different light on former events. The purpose is to refine the view of an historical event based on new information. Such an arcane academic art may not mean much to most people, but it becomes a potentially dangerous practice when it invades past views with a revised spiritual perspective. This came to my mind during our recent European Mission, the day I visited Stonehenge.
Having traveled to more than 100 countries there’s not a lot I haven’t seen. But in the half-dozen times I’ve been to England, I had never visited those ancient monolithic monuments on Salisbury Plain. On this mission, with a very heavy schedule of seminars and Encounters, there was little time to be a tourist. But on a free afternoon in England I decided that, from a spiritual standpoint, Stonehenge was a must.
This ancient ring of standing stones, each 13 feet high and weighing 25 tons, was constructed 4-5,000 years ago. Its definitive purpose is shrouded in history. Many bones have been found there, leading some to say it was a burial site. But the setting of the stones with regards to the solstices and equinoxes clearly indicates a ritual purpose. Theories abound regarding how the stones were brought to this location and so precisely positioned. But the real controversy surrounds to what purpose such a Herculean task was engaged.
It’s not fashionable to speak of Stonehenge as a location of demonic activities. Decades ago that was a plausible explanation. Not today. Historical revisionism has taken over. As I intensely studied every aspect of Stonehenge, reading all the markers and literature provided for tourists, not one mention was made of ritual sacrifice. This UNESCO/World Heritage-sanctioned site avoids admitting that, even day, witches, pagans, and Neo-druids hallow this spot, and receive special dispensation to practice witchcraft ceremonies there. But despite politically correct efforts to evict the Druids and downplay their affection for Stonehenge, such groups revere the spot as an energy center of supernatural power.
Who were the Druids that archaeologist would rather ignore? Ancient Greek and Roman writers define them as practitioners of human sacrifice. Caesar wrote of them constructing large wooden effigies, a “wicker-man” (Can we all say, “Burning Man” in the Nevada desert?) in which to burn victims alive. But as I walked about Stonehenge, there were no references to any of this. And one more note. In countless exorcisms, demons ancestrally connected to ancient Gaul have spoken of the Druids and their murderous connections to Stonehenge. While such evidence may not be admissible as archaeological evidence, I question why the current political custodians of Stonehenge are so intent on purging this part of England’s unsavory past with historical revisionism. If the reader has ancestors from England or Ireland, get my book “Curse Breaking” and start immediately to tear down any spiritual strongholds of your forebears who may go back to the builders of Stonehenge.

An encouraging word: WE HAVE AN ANCHOR
In a world that denies the reality of God and the devil, Christians have a forceful message to convey. The Bible alone gives us a true understanding of evil’s origin and the hope of humanity to overcome all that isn’t good. It’s simple. Satan fell, Adam sinned, and it’s been downhill ever since. But Christ came, died on the cross and conquered our iniquities by the shedding of His blood. Society at-large may be confused about the causes of misfortune and wonder how to handle the craziness of our times, but as Christians we have an Anchor (Hebrews 6:19) and we have answers. Go share those answers with others!

Now really, how shall I start with this one? There are so many things he just plain got wrong that I honestly don't know where to start.
Let's start with the Wicker Man crap.
First off, Ceasar was trying to cover his ass to his Roman subjects for his armies loses in Gaul. He had to depict the Gauls ( the Celts) n a very savage, negative light. Thus the human sacrifices in the "wicker man". What Larson clearly DOESN'T know is that wicker is not a good material for the " wicker man" to be effective, for two practical reasons.
1.) Wicker is not strong enough to build a huge wicker man and it would collapse under its own weight, more so if there was any sacrifcie, human or animial, in it.
and
2.) Wicker when on fire unravels, making it a very bad cage for a burning a live sacrifice.
And as usual for him, Larson shows his incredible ignorance for someone claiming to be a "foremeost authority" on cults, the occult and the paranormal. Some of the crap he says here are obvious nonsense from Jack Chick tracts. Anyone who has actually studied Stonehenge or even read one book ( Stonehenge Decoded) could have told this idiot that Stonehenge was built in 4 stages, that it was NOT built by the Druids and that the stone called the sacrifice stone is on its side not for sacrifices but for celestial alignment.
Pretty much everythig else he says here is bullshit. All he's doing is spinning his current exploitation con by adding Druid and British generational curses garbage. Note what he does NOT say. He does not say he exorcised the "demons" from Stonehenge. Mister "expert" on the paranormal doesn't bother purifying the site.
I'm not going to even bother mentioning that Stonehenge is by far not the only site that is sacred to Pagans in Britain. Or that it is one of many henges, both wood and stone, of ancient history that dot the country.
Note he says "witches" with a small W and not Wiccans. Note also he doesn't mention the equally spaced holes surrounding the monent. Because he doesn't know about them. Or whomever wrote this crap piece desn't know about them.
Sheesh......
