‘So many things, but this one’s my favorite. Ready? Paleontologists. The idea is that the dinosaurs never actually existed and paleontologists just plant the fossils and bones to steer people away from ‘The Truth.’ Clearly the work of the devil! Eek!

‘My dad wouldn’t let me watch anything that had magic or monsters because he thought it would let demons into the house. This included Power Rangers, Ben 10, H20: Just Add Water, Harry Potter, Scooby Doo, and more. The most ridiculous one was not letting me watch Jessie on Disney channel. This had no magic or monsters but he thought that the pet lizard one of the characters had represented the snake that deceived Eve into eating the apple.’
