Teen Witch, Cruise Outbursts

Sunday June 26, 2005

A Barbados newspaper interviews a fairly typical teen witch, but sees fit to ask a couple of preachers to have the final word.

Tom Cruise seems to envy Madonna's role as cult apologist. Either that or he's got some subconcious wish for more free time. In any case, the angry outbursts and evangelism can't be helping his career any.

So I got bored this morning, and decided to listen to this fundy hysteria "audio lecture" abiout "Satanic symbols." The lady doing most of the speaking has a pretty well known book/pamphlet and she's going on and on in mock outrage, but the most hysterical highlight is when she quotes a Masonic scholar quoting the Old Testament "Be still, and know that I am God," and works herself into a tremendous lather about this "occultic attitude." The whole time, she's obviously got no idea that this is a bible quote. You gotta wonder where they find these people.
