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.
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.
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.
Too bad it didn't kill him
This all obviously ridiculous but... I grew up with a family that 100% believed in spiritual warfare. My parents were more willing to believe my brother was possessed than to believe he needed psychiatric help. My Dad had the church elders pray over me when I had whooping cough, asking God to cast out the demon that had so obviously latched onto my 10 year old lungs. I regularly saw people at my church who would claim to have seen fantastical things.
Tucker is simply appealing to his base. The mass groups of people who truly believe they are warriors for Christ engaged in a life and death struggle for the soul of the whole world. There are thousands of them and they believe you and I as unbelievers are at best, unwittingly helping the enemy and at worst, willful vessels of the literal devil.
I wouldn't be shocked if Tucker Carlson 100% believed what he's saying. The groupthink in those circles is difficult to break out of.
He’s such a cunt. Fuck that guy.
Weirdo. Through and through.
I can't believe I almost ate a non-existent onion.
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.
next time he shouldn't use teeth and make sure you cup the balls, Mr. Carlson.
At the time, Carlson says, he was asleep in bed with his wife – and four dogs.
I have an alternate theory about those claw marks...
I watched that video, and had he just stuck to being suddenly awake and having claw marks I would have thought there was something odd. But he led with having four dogs in the bed, so when he said he had claw marks...dear lord, he's either trying too hard to play to some niche audience, or he's really that stupid. At least make the story sound plausible...we know you can lie, why didn't you just leave off some details here to sell it better.
Ever since he got kicked off Fox, he's been making the pivot to the hard right audience, which includes the narrative that they're in a spiritual war against the literal devil.
It's the same conspiracy-laden bullshit that Alex Jones pushes.
It's Jon Stewart's fault. Tucker never recovered from that jab about the bow tie.
Lol
Hey, Christians who believe in demonic possession: How come it's only y'all getting possessed and not my heathen, atheist ass who literally invites the demons in?
I’m not sure if this was a literal invitation, but I’ll poke my head out.
It depends on how you interpret scripture. I was raised in a “non-literalist” faith, and some of these beliefs have come to interpret references to “demons,” and what not, being misconstrued as mental illnesses. I believe Richard Dawkins coined the phrase “God of the Gaps” which is not too dissimilar to what is happening in this case.
So the non-faithful, along with the faithful, could still be afflicted, technically, however I’m fairly confident mental health treatment may be better for them over “driving out the demon” so to speak. Though some denominations would call it heresy for me to say that. Lmao.
As for Tucker… I’m skeptical he cares for the Word. He certainly doesn’t act as though he does, in my view.
I'm actually surprised I haven't been hit with a "you're already going to hell, why would the demons possess you?" from the literalist theists that might be on Lemmy, to be honest.
Maybe — such a line of thinking confuses me, and I’ve seen some stuff online similar to that before. It’s simply not helpful nor Christlike. In my view, one’s faith shouldn’t be wielded self-righteously ~~and~~ or in judgment of others.
Edit: and vs or.
As I understand it, Carlson wasn't much of a man of faith before this either.
I guarantee he still isn't
More to the point, then. 👍
Your atheist ass is inviting people in you say?
Only demons are invited in this atheist ass
Get me riled up and I can be quite fiendish
do the demons have large knots?
Why do you think they're invited in?
I got that dog in me.
The dog is Cerberus.
Colombian here - as you might know, most people here are catholic.
A bit of story.
My mother says her eldest brother was like the evil on earth. He raped her younger sisters, used to beat up all of them – his younger brother grew up with serious mental issues because of that, and now we are having issues trying to get him into an asylum because, again, third world problems - stole the house and land of their parents (which wasn't a lot, but left my mother and her sisters with nothing when their father died) and even treated violently my grandmother. I never got to know my grandparents because they died when my mother was young.
So my mother says one night my grandmother was really ill and this person (I have never seen him, not even in pictures) arrived home and beat her up and went to sleep. Then allegedly "the spirits" ("las almas") came when he was asleep and beat him up so hard he screamed and woke everyone up - like they could see how "the spirits" lifted him across the room and hit him violently, but never could see any of those "spirits".
A few weeks or months after that my grandmother died and all of my aunts had to get miserable jobs trying to survive and this bastard still showed up from time to time to steal the few bucks they could earn.
Eventually all of them (except my uncle) got married and all of them but the elder sister never saw him ever again.
Now I'm atheist and don't believe in this kind of stuff, but the saying is that "the souls" do that kind of thing to really awful people. So if Carson's incident is true (and if "the souls" exist and are able to do that), now you may have a possible explanation for that.
How to explain away the signs of rough gay sex to your wife.
This.
How to explain away the signs of rough ~~gay~~ beastial sex to your wife.
FTFY
Tucker Carlson and JD Vance had rough normal gay guy sex and he's getting ahead of any story and saying it was demon assault.
I can also take part in conspiracies
People are saying it's the dogs, but given that it's Tucker Carlson I think it's far more likely that he's just flat out lying.
I dunno. If anyone has the servants of darkness hanging out at their home, it's this guy.
If forced to wager, split money between affair and prostitute. Longshot: beaten up by old school influencers.
Tucker Carlson fights his demons. I would give this show a chance even though I really hate the guy. If he does a whole Spike from Buffy arc... It could work. [Sarcasm]
"I got attacked while I was asleep with my wife and four dogs and mauled, physically mauled." ... "I have no idea what happened."
lol
