Minister calls Pokemon Go "demonic..." [View all]

Like someone said, (and I'm paraphrasing somewhat,) "Someplace, someone is having some harmless fun, and there is a fundy preacher having a tantrum over it."

I wonder how they feel about Spyro the dragon?

Conservative Pastor: Pokémon Go Is 'Deadly' And 'Demonic'

Submitted by Nabi Dressler on Monday, 7/25/2016 1:15 pm

On Thursday’s episode of “Crosstalk,” Pastor David Brown and host Jim Schneider discussed the “demonic” Pokémon Go app and the original “pantheistic”-promoting Pokémon cards and game, beseeching parents to make sure that their children don’t have the app on their phones.

Brown declared that people who have downloaded the app are following a “satanic worldview” and ignoring Pokémon Go’s “deadly” and “demonic” ramifications.

He said that the original card game gives off a supernatural, demonic energy that promotes “pantheistic power for the occult.”
