I can across this blog post the other day. It took me three reads to decide if this was for real, and I think it is, especially because there are a few comments. This is what happens when you spend your life with your head in a Bible, and forget about the real world around you. I think.
"Here are the present day Twin Cities' claims to fame: More than once named the murder capital of America, since 1996, with a prevalent spirit of hate! Known by many as the witchcraft capital of the USA. More reported cases of incest exist within Minnesota than anywhere else in the country. Possibly the largest homosexual community in America, rivaling San Francisco. [ed. Wouldn't that be nice!]
Hate, perversion, witchcraft - the atmostphere is weighted with the demonic. I plow through depression, despair, a feeling of worthlessness, hopelessness, sometimes feel suicidal, and fight fear constantly. I am also constantly overwhelmed by the voice of condemnation, a sense that I am damned, never good enough and pressure to make up for it. Also, in general, it has been noted numerous times by outsiders: Minneapolis has a severe lack of sense of humor.
Can you imagine the implications of being the witchcraft capital? That means there are congregations, covens, whatever where they worship Satan! And there is more! It also means there are human sacrifices, as well as sexual abuse, child abuse, animal abuse and animal sacrifice. That is not to mention astral projections and curses, etc. Oh I forgot- and cannibalism.
Yet, the city is washed clean of it, so you can't see it! Just like Satan who disguises himself as light. It comes out here and there, but again gets covered up.
( I just get too depressed relating incidences to you of my own encounters with it.) Minneapolis was rated the number one city to live in, in America, by this one source that rates cities on 44 points - good schools, good parks, etc. What a joke!"
I think this person may be suffering from mental illness, because I've been to the most perverse and satanic place in Minneapolis (the Gay 90s, hehe), and I never saw any cannibalism. Maybe this woman should give guided tours.
Oh and here's some background: she dated a witch (or warlock?) and she blames it on Harry Potter.

Shit, witchcraft capital of the USA? Cool! Why didn't anyone tell me before?

This is a hard one, Andy. I'm still not sure if she believes what she writes or is writing this blog in character (even after reading several other posts).
I did love the line "I know now where Satan lives. And I know that hell is not going to be hot - it's going to be very very cold!" That rocks! Satan is a Minneapolitan!
And it was odd she described herself as "God's Xena, The Warrior Princess" Didn't Xena's and Gabrielle's lesbian flirting become very overt at the series end? Hmmmmmm

Andy, it always makes me laugh so HARD when "Christians" decry "pagan" practices and symbology, WHEN IT IS THE BASIS OF ALL CHRISTIAN practices and symbology.
i mean, shti, she "sprinkled the blood of the Eternal Lamb, in the form of communal wine, on all doorposts, over windows, and we poured it into the four corners of my property". does that not sound like a pagan abolishment/cleansing ritual to you too? ;)
(love your blog and read it, darlin'.)

Really, Samantha? Cite your source. That's a pretty broad, sweeping statement. I would love to hear your take on Theology....
