Pat Robertson believes that watching horror films gives demons direct “permission” to attack you. The octogenarian televangelist responded to a viewer who told him that she had been watching “a horror movie the other day on the recommendation of others” and a few days later got into “an accident leaving church.” She asked Robertson (God only know why) if the “creepy movie caused a curse — or the Lord’s protection to be lifted from me?”
Robertson, of course, went for it, and suggested that by choosing to watch the “creepy movie” might have given a demon “permission” to possess her — or to cause a car wreck. Or something.
“This thing may be living around you and what you need to do again is speak it — command this thing to leave — and ask God to forgive you. I know that’s weird but these things can happen.”
Pity he didn’t mention anything about “The Exorcist.”
