COVID Broke People, Now They Believe in Demons

Belief in the supernatural is making people look very stupid

I’ll always love Tucker Carlson. During the height of COVID, he played a critical role as a sane yet authoritative voice amongst nonstop insanity, bringing millions of people back down to Earth. I’ll always appreciate him for that, and see it as his true purpose, regardless of how much of a YouTube slop merchant he’s become.

Actually — I take that back. I don’t think Tucker is a slop merchant. Tucker isn’t grifting. He genuinely believes in the very vague, archaic, and unprovable concept known as “demons”, and frequently uses it to explain away many of America’s problems. His latest episode talks about how Taylor Swift is…you guessed it — demonic.

Whoa. Deep stuff!

Do demons exist? I have no idea. And neither do you. Nobody does.

Does God exist? I don’t know. And neither do you. Nobody does.

But I have faith that God exists, not proof. That’s what faith is.

Is it useful to have faith in the existence of demons?

If you’d prefer not to accept the dark side of human nature that is latent in even the purest of souls — then yes. Believing in demons is perfect for that.

Is believing in demons productive? Does it lead to any course of action?

Let’s assume “demons” are real. What do we do with that exactly?

“It’s demons!”

“Okay, now what?”

“I don’t know! But it’s demonic!”

“Okay, how do we get rid of the demons?”

“They need to read The Bible!”

“Okay, are you going to force them to read The Bible?”

“No. But it’s demons!”

It would be a very moronic discussion.
