I just realised that though I linked this on Twitter when I found it, I forgot to post it here! Seriously, you guys, you have to see this. (NB: turn the closed captions button on if you want translations for the Norwegian bits!) That is a link to a documentary that was broadcast on Norwegian TV, about American professional exorcist Bob Larson. What ( Read more... )

As said in chat ...

"THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU!"

Which is obviously the greatest response ever. ♥

Gah. Just another well-known lying scammer using evangelism to rake in the cash. I really loathe the "Satanic panic" assholes, because actual people went to actual jail and had their lives destroyed over "Satanic Ritual Abuse" allegations back in the 1980s, and Larson is one of the slimeballs who rode that bandwagon. Fuck the bastards.

Note: I am a Christian. I really, really don't like it when false teachers take advantage of the innocent, bring the name of Christ into disrepute, and make a mockery of my religion.

Now that I've watched the video--those Norwegian fellows are handsome! Old enough to have character, young enough to still have a sense of humor.... yummy.

Oh IS he? I didn't realise that! Now I really do wish he could've been stuck with some of the scene's more extreme individuals... we have a few totally legit Satanists and black/Chaotic magicians who are very smart and rational guys, and at the other extreme a few complete berserkers who could probably have scared the shit out of him. Either would've entertained me...

*nods* That's completely fair, and while I don't share your beliefs, I appreciate that not all Christians are created equal, as it were. I can certainly understand why you'd have as much of a problem with someone like Larson as I do...

There were a few things I loved about this video.

1)The way Alex Rosen says "Bob Larson".
2)BEARS!
3)Necrobutcher's lack of reaction to Larson. Possibly because he had a system fuse from conflicting "burst out laughing" and "punch him in the face" signals. I certainly did.
