P.I.D. Radio 9/6/14: Return of Slender Man

  

Slender ManJUST WHEN we thought the furor over Slender Man had died down, a Florida teen fascinated with the fictional horror character tried to incinerate her family by setting her home on fire while they slept. We discuss the character and the Buddhist concept of the tulpa and the possibility that demons may be using the Slender Man phenomenon to influence teens looking for supernatural power.

Also: Ebola epidemic getting worse; Christian “magic”; the debut of robots for the family; and is ISIS’ caliphate a harbinger of the Antichrist?

Here are the promised links to the article by Zoltan Istvan calling for restrictions on human breeding and the response by Wesley J. Smith, “Transhumanism’s Eugenic Authoritarianism“.

Please check out our new website, a precursor to our forthcoming book on transhumanism, Rise of the Cybergods. And watch for more information about our forthcoming Gilbert House Fellowship beginning Sunday, September 28, at www.GilbertHouse.org.
