Summary
Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson claimed he was “physically mauled” by a demon in his sleep, leaving claw marks on his body, which he says are still visible. Carlson described waking with intense pain, bleeding claw marks, and an overwhelming urge to read the Bible. He recounted the experience as confusing yet transformative, adding that while he doesn’t expect others to believe him, the incident profoundly impacted him.
If this is true, what did he do to deserve this. This doesn’t just happen to a good god fearing person. So I guess the real question is, what did he do to deserve this.
This doesn’t just happen to a good god fearing person. Why would this happen if he DIDN’T deserve this. Clearly he lost favor with the good lord and has opened himself up to the devil to be possessed by a demon.
As someone who was raised in a very evangelical household: the (non)-answer is that it happened to him in order to tempt him or test him or some shit. If it happens to a non-god-fearing individual, it’s deserved, otherwise it’s God’s plan all along. Because moving the goal posts is just way too easy.
The real answer is Tucker Carlson is either actually insane or hardcore grifting, but I’m probably preaching to the choir here going down that rabbit hole lol.
I figured my comment would be countered with “justification” as to why. Not you but your explanation and yea preaching my friend.
He’s grifting. He’s no snake-juggling meth-mouthed shitkicker, they’re just part of his audience.
No you see he is like Job in the Bible!!! He’s so righteous God is testing him with demons!!!
-his fans probably
Job has to be one of the more disgusting stories in the Bible… It was the one that I read/was taught about in church as a teen that first made me go “wait a second…”.
From the first time I heard that story, it never sat well with me, and not a single adult was ever able to give me a satisfactory explanation for why it was OK for god to straight up destroy this poor man’s life (a man who was already super dedicated to this god), including literally killing his innocent family, over some petty bet with the actual devil.
That really opened my eyes to what the OT god really was in that book, and I did not like what I saw.
Job is a great work of literature, except that its authors chickened out at the end and close it out by saying “But God can kick nine kinds of shit outta ya, so you’d better just say your hosannas and quit bitching.” Up to that point, there’s a lot in it.
True. I know there will always be a justification and it would be a hard fight to change the minds of those who are being grifted.
I guess Carlson’s soul isn’t worth enough to send a succubus. All he’s worth is a backscratcher.
Anyone who follows Trump has sold their soul to Satan.
