  • South Park’s Donald Trump and J.D. Vance Are Hooking Up

    AI couldn’t make the November 12 episode of South Park. This week, the animated comedy took on Sora, OpenAI’s video-creation tool, and somehow managed to work in a new twist in the Donald Trump and Satan romance: a love triangle. J.D. Vance is pulling Trump away from his partner, despite Satan’s butt pregnancy.

    The episode begins with Butters using Sora to make revenge videos of his ex-girlfriend, Red McArthur, getting “pissed on by Santa.” Red retaliates by making a video of Butters having sex with Totoro (from My Neighbor Totoro) and playing the video at school assembly. Detective Harris, who doesn’t fully understand “Sora,” comes looking for Totoro, who he believes is actually molesting kids. But the South Park Elementary children continue to make gross videos of each other, leading Detective Harris down wackier and wackier paths, attempting to find his animated foes.

    Meanwhile, Cartman is being held in a hotel room by Peter Thiel, who kidnapped him during the “Six-Seven” episode because he believed Cartman was possessed (why else would he be laughing so hard at that meme?) and could help stop Satan’s butt baby, a.k.a. the Anti-Christ. Thiel is sending AI videos to Cartman’s mom in which Cartman tells her that everything is okay and he’s doing well, which she takes at face value.

    Co-conspirator Vance is also hard at work at the White House and tells Trump to get rid of his own baby because he won’t actually want to deal with it. Trump agrees. In the heat of the moment, Vance and Trump consummate their relationship on Trump’s bed with Satan in a NSF-anywhere scene.

    In South Park, the detective brings the kids to court to try to catch the animated predators. He then traces the IP address on the videos “Cartman” sent his mother and goes to arrest Thiel. There, on Thiel’s laptop, he finds security footage of Vance and Trump hooking up and leaks it. Satan chooses to believe Trump when he says that the sex tape is just AI. But when Trump leaves their bed, he goes to make out with Vance. What will Satan do?

  • Trump Goes Over the Brink, Labels Democrats the Party of Satan

    In the annals of American politics, Donald Trump is without question among the most polarizing presidents ever. But today he laid his claim to absolute peerlessness by quite literally demonizing the opposition party on Truth Social. Gaze in awe:

    Now just to deal with the most practical matters, this doesn’t sound like a man inclined to enter into bipartisan negotiations to end the current government shutdown, does it? I suppose he could call up Chuck Schumer and tell him it was just a joke, and maybe make a peace offering of vastly increased security for Democratic officeholders who have now been labeled by the most powerful figure in the world as the personification of absolute, ineradicable evil.

    But other than pouring high-octane gasoline on a fire already reaching the rafters after Russell Vought’s threats of mass layoffs of furloughed federal employees (at least in “Democrat Agencies,” as Trump put it), the president’s weird little post will be greeted as gospel truth and a not-so-secret shout-out by two significant elements of the MAGA fringe.

    The first is the QAnon cult, the shockingly large group of subscribers to an elaborate conspiracy theory whereby Trump is secretly battling and will eventually vanquish a cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophiles who control world events (not to mention America’s deep state) and are, among other things, hoarding cures for all major diseases. According to QAnon devotees, Trump is constrained for obscure reasons from going public with this cosmic war he is waging on America’s and God’s behalf, but he drops hints from time to time that are greeted with jubilation in QAnon circles. The new tweet acknowledging Satan’s sponsorship of the Democrats will help keep QAnon alive for years; it’s arguably more powerful than Trump’s pardon for the January 6 “patriots,” among whom QAnon folk were very much overrepresented.

    But there’s another and even larger group of MAGA folk overrepresented in the Capitol riot who will tingle just as much as the Q followers at Trump’s identification of Democratic pols as servants of Old Scratch: the “spiritual warriors” of the New Apostolic Reformation. This rapidly strengthening strain of conservative pentecostal theology and worship involves a loose global network of “prophets” and “apostles” whose American leaders are deeply invested in the MAGA movement as an instrument for redemption of a world captured by such evils as abortion, LGBTQ+ rights, feminism, and “wokeness.” While nearly all NAR leaders believe in active demonic powers that must be combatted by aggressive prayer and religio-political activism, some dance around the line that separates “spiritual warfare” from physical violence. Trump is pushing them across that line. Somebody, or maybe a lot of people, are going to get hurt.

    The good news, if there is any, is that Trump has now hit bottom in his insults aimed at the opposition party. If there’s anything he can do to make the atmosphere more toxic, I will pray to a beneficent God that we are spared it.

  • Know Your Game Plan

    Know Your Game Plan

    I have often found myself wrestling with the concepts and realities of good and evil. It stands to reason that if you believe in God And His goodness, power and the righteousness of Jesus Christ, then you must also believe in the existence of Satan and his earth bound inherent ‘evilness.’ So that I don’t become too esoteric, allow me to explain. It is the height of hypocrisy or wanton ignorance that we as human beings follow a course of action consistent with one belief and act,at the same time, totally contrary to that same belief.We concede to the reality that evil exists. Our laws and subsequent penalties are there to protect us against criminal, abhorrent and even demonic behavior.

    The recognition, the counterbalance then should be a professed belief that confirms the existence of God. It’s  supposed  to  be  the  good  stuff.

    There are also laws put in place to protect us on that front too.Unfortunately, it seems that evil demands actions while goodness gets a whole lot of lip service. I believe this is true because we humans, with all of our own flaws and faults (or should I say sinfulness), have gotten used to functioning in a world that Satan does have power in. Thanks to him many of us have become somewhat numb to his brand of life. Fortunately when we come to Christ, we are able to see the contrast between good and evil/sin in our own lives.That’s when we finally get it. By putting ourselves in relationship with the righteousness of Christ, it becomes clear to us where we fit in this struggle between good and evil. We then recognize, we are the prize in this game. To the victor we go. Again, fortunately for us, we have some say in the clubhouse celebration. Once you accept the concept of good and evil in the context of God and the devil, the rules of engagement become clear. In this game the ball has a say in who actually participates in the game. We are that ball in this high stakes game for our very own souls. Imagine that.Wecan stack the deck. But it can’t be by happenstance. It must be deliberate and we must be constant in making sure the ball takes favorable bounces throughout the game.

  • Temptations Central

    Temptations Central

    This thing with Satan is occupying a good part of my biblical studies lately. I’m encouraged to know that God’s plan is pretty precise and obvious to those who are looking for His Word. I was taken with reading Matthew 4: 1-11 regarding the three temptations of Jesus in the desert after 40 days of fasting. When Satan offers Christ ‘all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor; I was shocked at the power the devil has to tempt each and every one of us as we operate on what is essentially his turf.

    Remember Lucifer hung out with the Lord in heaven. They were roadies for a while until Lucifer got the big head and was banished to the physical realm. Once Jesus rebuked him for the third time scripture says “Then the devil left Him and angels came and attended Him.” So once Christ withstood temptation, God then delivered unto him all that Satan offered and more.You see that is Christ’s birthright and ours too. So let me get this straight.The devil probably knows the bible better than we do. He understands what tempts us because he knows what pleases God. Remember, they hung out together. Hence I am a much easier target certainly than Jesus Christ was and ruination for me won’t necessarily take the promise of all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. Since I am made in the image of God, perhaps the key to my salvation is surrendering all that I Have and all that I am to Him, He who is my Lord and Savior. By doing so I should be able to put myself into a position to see the devil coming. If I see him coming, maybe I can withstand, for the moment, the need to have my wants and desires satisfied by sacrificing the integrity of my soul for momentary gratification. I understand there is a difference between the temptation to sin and a test of faith. What I’m coming to grips with is how simple it appears to be when looked at from a godly, no spiritual perspective. Once Jesus answered each one of Satan’s successive temptations with Matthew 4:4 “It is (also) written: Man does not live by bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.” Matthew 4:7 “It is also written: Do not put the Lord your God to the test.”Matthew 4:10 “Away from me Satan! For it is written ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.”Then the devil left and the angels came.

    The key then is to get on the other side of temptation by walking in the Word consciously enough to understand that just saying no to Satan is an absolute guarantee of getting all that you desire and all that you need in this life. What must be overcome however is to realize just how cunning the devil has become in getting one to realize, to forget, to ignore that he is the source of all temptation. When in doubt, call on the name of the Lord and eventually Satan will be replaced with angels ready to attend you. As Jesus said, “Seek ye first the kingdom and whatever it is that you desire, you will have more…”

  • No Purpose, No Direction, No Way

    No Purpose, No Direction, No Way

    They say the only sure way to get Satan’s attention is to begin to turn one’s life to Christ. I’ve heard many ministers refer to a person’s lifestyle as but an entryway for the devil to gain access to your world. Supposedly, as long as you engage in the things and happenings of this world, Lucifer has no need to spend any energy dealing with the struggle for your eternal soul. You see life’s trials and temptations alone are enough to sentence any one of us to an afterlife void of the Lord, which if you didn’t know it, is the quintessential definition of hell itself.

    As we use up our time here in the physical world, sometimes we lose sight of the obvious. A life without purpose, a life without direction, a life without faith is a life wandering aimlessly on a highway headed straight to hell. The devil does not need to work to gain access to this life. He can merely wait at the 

    toll booth entrance to hell and collect unsuspecting souls on the way by. You know when you’ve partied so hard that even the next day doesn’t clear the stupor of the night before? In this regard, I’m suggesting that maybe some of us could at least make the devil sweat just a little bit while he manipulates your life’s circumstances.

  • Deception Made Easy

    Deception Made Easy

    They say that the single biggest trick of the devil is to get you to believe that he doesn’t exist. Out of sight…out of mind…doesn’t exist…PARTY!!! The reality of this should be more and more obvious as we try to navigate the nuances of life’s little ups and downs. The daily challenge of accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is tough enough without the temptations of sin and the challenges of virtue.

    I mean, Eating is good, but according to the bible I read, gluttony is a sin. We talk about everything in moderation, nothing in excess. Marital sex is blessed. All else is considered adultery. Gossip is a perversion of healthy conversation that will eventually destroy the gossiper as well as the gospel. We live in a world of contradictions, or do we?

    If you choose to intellectualize God’s Word, then you can rationalize anything, any act or deed. I guarantee you the last thing you factor in your decision-making is whether or not Satan had a hand in it. That fact only surfaces as you are forced to suffer the consequences of your actions when you have to answer the question, ‘Why did I do that?’ The consideration of God, however, usually gets sidestepped as one conveniently rationalizes the conditions of what is right versus what is wrong for that particular moment in time. The call of the world is truly as powerful or more powerful than any drug, thanks to that trick again of the devil.

  • Fox News Guest And Satanist Has Hell Of A Good Time Trolling Outlet Over Lawsuit

    Fox News Guest And Satanist Has Hell Of A Good Time Trolling Outlet Over Lawsuit

    The devil made him do it. (Watch the video below.)

    The co-founder of The Satanic Temple on Tuesday ribbed Fox News host Lawrence Jones about the channel’s massive lawsuit settlement with Dominion Voting Systems.

    Lucien Greaves appeared on the right-wing channel after a federal judge ruled the After School Satan Club sponsored by Greaves’ organization could proceed on public school grounds despite a Pennsylvania school district’s objections.

    Jones asked Greaves about the clubs and the guest mostly declined to answer, he said, because the matter was still in the courts.

    “What do you seek to do in schools all across America?” Jones asked.

    “Well, I won’t speak to the issues of what we do in school,” Greaves answered. “If we’re gonna have a discussion about litigation that nobody wants to have, I have 787.5 million questions for you.”

    That, of course, was the dollar amount Fox News agreed to pay Dominion for repeatedly and falsely claiming that its machines were rigged against Donald Trump in the 2020 election.

    Jones, who was filling the fired Tucker Carlson’s time slot while the network decides on a new host, pressed on about the temple’s philosophy, and Greaves said it was advocating freedom from religious superstition. (The Satanic Temple says on its website that it is “non-theistic” and “non-supernaturalist.”)

    Asked by Jones whom he would endorse for president, Greaves replied: “Well, as a spokesperson for a religious organization, I certainly would not endorse any politician whatsoever … I think churches should start shutting their mouths when it comes to politics as direct as endorsing particular candidates.”

    Greaves jabbed at the right-wing channel and its fallen prime-time star before the interview.

    “My one-stop gloating I-Outlasted-Tucker-Carlson victory tour will take place tonight on Fox News during Tucker’s old time slot around 8:20pm live with Lawrence Jones,” he wrote on Twitter.
