Michael E. Heyes

I am a professor of religion who teaches elements of popular culture, monstrosity, and medieval studies. Currently writing on contemporary American demonology.

Feels like Graham being 71 makes this easy enough to explain without vaccine conspiracies and KGB assassinations.

[Lance Wallnau @lancewallnau]

Senator Lindsey’s sudden, hard-to-explain death has the internet buzzing. When healthy people die suddenly, my first suspicion is the vaccine which the DC crowd bought into. My second much more remote suspicion is KGB style assasination. But that can be detected. Which may explain the odd post by Kash saying the FBI is engaged.

On the differences of Leviathan between pre- and post- Trump Wallnau:

@aprilajoyr A note for those who think this image is about physical protection: Gothard taught that the rain symbolized Satanic attack and demonic interference while the umbrella was protection given by submission to "God-ordained" authority. Given the context, those arguments lose force.

[Michael E. Heyes @ThatDemonProf]

@andre_gagne1 That would be a good first step!

[Michael E. Heyes @ThatDemonProf]

A little current research on Lance Wallnau and his use of Leviathan over the next few weeks. Let's start with who he is!

A quick heads up for those interested: I'll be on UnXplained with William Shatner on the History channel tonight at 9EST. The topic is demons, but I figured you might be able to guess that 😉

[Michael E. Heyes @ThatDemonProf]

What's the difference between "occult" and "the Occult?" Largely, whether you're part of a paranoid brand of contemporary Christianity or not.

This week, we look at the supposed miraculous effects of spiritual warfare chronicled by The Sentinel Group. The group contends that banishing demons can dispel social ills like alcoholism and drug abuse and return God's bounty to the land:

Can demons change the environment? According to one of the great thinkers of Spiritual Mapping - George Otis, Jr. - they can.

@andre_gagne1 Awfully long post to declare that you actually don't care near the end...
