Tucker Carlson suggested demons helped invent the atomic bomb, and @ericmetaxas said it was "utterly stupid" and accused him of being insane. Oddly, Metaxas has claimed that Candace Owens is demonic, Halloween is demonic, UAP phenomena is demonic, Tucker Carlson is demonic, Islam is demonic, the Democratic Party is demonic, and "antisemitism" is demonic. But apparently, Metaxas draws the line at the invention of a weapon that tears a hole in creation and annihilates mankind. Calling THAT demonic is certifiable and stupid, apparently.
Is Tucker off his rocker? When Oppenheimer was at Harvard, he joined a group that used Satanic poems as liturgy. Four years before he died, he was asked what book was most influential for his vocational attitude and listed a collection of Satanic poetry that praises the devil throughout it. Its pages are crowded with demons, damnation, vampires, possession, death, blasphemy, and rebellion against God. His favorite poem, the one from Harvard, praises Satan as the giver of forbidden knowledge and for giving the light of new inventions.
Isidor Rabi, his friend and a Nobel Prize-winning physicist, said Oppenheimer sometimes turned “away from the hard, crude methods of theoretical physics into a mystical realm of broad intuition.” The physicist reportedly turned to metaphysics to give him knowledge from a mysterious, unknown source. He learned Sanskrit to study the Bhagavad Gita the way Bible scholars learn Greek to study the Scriptures, and Historian James Hijiya said, “Without the inspiration of the Gita, Oppenheimer might not have been able or willing to direct Los Alamos.”
He named ground zero for the first atomic blast, giving it the code name "Trinity." Oppenheimer was Jewish, mind you. The first victim of atomic weaponry was the Trinity. Coincidence? And then, the famous line, "I am death, the destroyer of worlds," comes from a Hindu demon god. Was he just citing the demon, or was the demon taking credit and identifying himself?
Jack Parsons was one of the pioneers of American rocketry who would eventually make long-range nuclear missiles possible. He was also a devoted follower of Aleister Crowley, joined the Ordo Templi Orientis, headed its Agape Lodge, and reportedly recited Crowley’s “Hymn to Pan” during rocket tests. In 1946, Parsons and future Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard performed the Babalon Working, a series of ceremonial rituals using Enochian magic in an attempt to manifest the Thelemic goddess Babalon. He later proclaimed himself the Antichrist, developed a form of witchcraft venerating Babalon and Lucifer, and described his age in occult terms as one of “fire,” “power, violence, and energy,” characterized by war and the “discovery and liberation of new energies.”
In other words, one of the men helping pioneer the technology that would eventually carry atomic weapons across continents was not merely interested in the occult; he was practicing ceremonial magic and deliberately attempting contact with nonhuman spiritual intelligences.
Of course, the Bible speaks of demonic forces interacting with mankind, the Powers and Principalities of Darkness in High Places, intelligent and personable beings of superior intelligence who interact with man and, in Revelation, incite the kings of the earth to make war. The Book of Enoch - cited in the Bible by Jude and Peter - explains a passage in the Old Testament of these beings coming down to Earth and involving themselves in the lives of men. Frankly, it sounds exactly like the tales from every ancient culture on Earth in their stories of the Annunaki, who came from the heavens to teach them the art of warfare and technologies that exceeded their understanding.
None of this means that demons helped make the atomic bomb. What it DOES mean is that it's not "crazy" to think so. In fact, it does indeed seem like something demons would be very excited about. So other than reading from Israel's cue cards today, why would Metaxas allege Tucker was crazy for believing it? After all, if Candace and Antisemitism and the DNC are demonic, why not nuclear weaponry?
Metaxas’s reaction makes more sense when you understand his Post-War Civil Religion. Bonhoeffer is its martyr and prophet, the Holocaust its atonement, Churchill its Messiah figure, and Allied victory functions as the final judgment of history, granting the victors an almost retroactive moral authority over whatever they did to win. Tucker’s theory threatens that arrangement because it permits Satan into the machinery of Allied victory itself.
Suddenly Dresden, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki can be judged as moral acts rather than automatically sanctified because the Allies committed them. Metaxas is perfectly comfortable finding demons in Hitler, Communism, Islam, antisemitism, witchcraft, and his political enemies; put demonic influence aboard an American bomber, however, and supernaturalism becomes insanity. That isn’t Christianity. It is national mythology wearing Christian clothes.
Besides, if demons make war in the modern world, then maybe they have more than something to do with Israel killing 90% civilian non-combatants, a girls' school of 200 wiped off the face of Iran, and a war in Ukraine going on longer than makes sense for literally no good reason. And if Satan isn't banned by the American border, and even the "good guys" can be subject to demonic influence, that destroys the liturgy of the civil religion Metaxas has given his soul to worship. No, believing Satan could go nuclear must be dismissed post haste or too many suppositions fail at once.
So instead, he's chosen to attack a Christian for believing in supernatural things. Satan can be blamed for criticizing the Israeli State, but not for making the nuclear bomb.

@LaNativePatriot Washington is as bad as California. Both states are destroyed. Oregon isn’t far off. Idiots have fuct the west coast. But at least you can call a dude a chick and get free clean needles.
@hippojuicefilm What’s super wild is that they just came out with a billion dollar lawsuit against those drugs it is going to kill all of these women and those who survive will age into oblivion. Personally I believe everyone should be completely done with Hollywood. Mind/soul poison.
