WND's Owens: Ice Bucket Challenge Is A 'Satanic Ritual'

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Wednesday, 9/3/2014 11:25 am

WorldNetDaily columnist Selena Owens recently watched an online video about the supposed evils of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, and she is now convinced that the charity fundraising challenge is a “sacrilegious,” “cultic,” “Satanic ritual.” Owens claims the act of dumping a bucket of water over one’s head is tricking people into participating “in a satanic ritual — with or without their knowledge” that is “a form of water baptism with cultic god Oprah.” All of this, she says, shouldn’t be a surprise, since after all “whenever spectators watch singers like Beyonce, JayZ, Rihanna, Lady Gaga and especially Nicki Minaj, they are indoctrinated and involved with blatantly satanic rituals that stem from the deep abyss of the occult.”

While I have always gotten a big laugh out of these tabloids (well, after I realized the stories in them about Big Foot and UFOs weren't exactly the hard-hitting exposes I once believed they were, anyway), I was always a little "spooked" when I learned that the guy who created The National Enquirer (Generoso Pope, Jr.) also once worked for the CIA's psychological warfare unit.

Probably just a coincidence...

my favorite part, i don't know why exactly, was "especially Nicki Minaj". I'm wondering why especially her?

Not even being snarky. People this deluded and detached from reality should NOT be allowed to run around unmedicated and unsupervised.

But any idiocy or derangement, so long as it stops short of the homicidal, is tolerated and excused in the name of religulous belief.
