When Hell Has a Hashtag
ncr ^ | 5.26.15 | Simcha Fisher

Posted on 05/27/2015 6:36:12 PM PDT by Coleus

#CharlieCharlieChallenge is a popular hashtag on Twitter today. According to the BBC Trending blog, it refers to

a game which involves balancing pencils over the words "yes" and "no" on a piece of paper. Players ask questions which are supposedly answered by Charlie - a mysterious demon who spookily moves the pencils, if you believe in that sort of thing.

The BBC says, "if you believe in that sort of thing" because it does sound pretty goofy: A mysterious Mexican demon moving pencils around at the behest of eleven-year-old Mackynzie, who wants to know if Conor likes her or not. Who would believe nonsense like that? If Hell has its own hashtags, how scary could it be?

Listen up, folks. It doesn't matter who made up this game, how, or why. Only a fool would play it, and you should make sure your kids know this. I've said it before: Satan isn't fussy.

He doesn't care if you are kidding or not when you call him by name ...  An invitation is an invitation, and Satan doesn't stand on manners. You may not see Exorcist-style special effects when the Father of Lies creeps into your life. You may not realize anything has happened to you at all, as the rift between you and God slowly gets deeper and wider.

But, see, if there was a spirit hanging around, it would already be supernatural. Why would it need your invitation?

I mean, if all it takes for a spirit to get into your mind is a piece of cardboard from a game manufacturing company, we’re all pretty much screwed. Just think what could happen next time you use a hammer.

It’s not the cardboard that’s responsible. It’s your open invitation to demons, to inhabit your mind, body and soul. Only a fool would do that.

Only the most gullible would think that this is demonic in any way.

Thank you. It seems so obvious, and yet I keep seeing posts claiming there is nothing demonic about summoning demons. Huh???

The Bible says differently.

No, it doesn’t. It mentions ACTUAL demon summoning, not playing the modern version of the Bloody Mary chant. If this is demon summoning, so are fortune cookies.
