Oh, Good Grief.

The article linked below may be the most stupid news item ever printed by a modern major news outlet. (In this case, Fox.) And we all know that's saying something.

Did the Devil Make Him Do It?
When unexplained violence takes center stage, we tend to turn to modern psychology to explain it.

But there is an alternative explanation, one that has been played out in film, stage and writings since the beginning of history.

Was Cho Seung-Hui schizophrenic … psychotic … manic-depressive? Or were the shooting deaths of 32 people, including Cho himself, at Virginia Tech University part of the ongoing struggle between God and Satan … good against evil … lightness and darkness?

Could Cho have been possessed by the Devil? Could that explain the massacre at Virginia Tech?
Shockingly,
"Dr. Richard Roberts, president of Oral Roberts University, shouts an unequivocal “Yes!”
I can't believe he's already ruled out the Boogie Man, Hannibal Lecter, and Hitler's Ghost.

You know it's a bizarre article when one of the voices of reason is Rev. Robert Schuller.

He says of Cho: “I think it’s pure psychotic crack-up.
Amen to that.

Apparently some people are harassing Koreans for the shooting--as if no native-born American would possibly be capable of doing things like this, certainly not, say Ryan Klebold or Timothy McVeigh.

No, no, NO!

It's not Hitler's ghost. It's quite obviously Hitler's brain, controlling Cho telepathically from his glass container in the underground chamber in Antarctica, whence the Nazi UFO's emerge.

Get it right. Sheesh.

Of course! Why didn't I see it before! My bad.
