We've come full circle - "Christians" again accusing people of practicing witchcraft

To be fair, there probably isn't a point in our history when there weren't public accusations of witchcraft, depressing as that is. You'd think that a decade into the 21st century, though, we'd be past this.

Curiously, the top three shelves of this "Teenage" section offer one paranormal-themed book after another.

This section is arranged so that an unsuspecting teen is easily lured into occult literature. The first book to catch the eye is called Godless, a book apparently written to shake a young person's faith in God. Nearby is You are So Dead to Me, a novel about a teen girl's use of occult powers to control zombies.

No photos accompany this story, since the owner warned our reporter not to take pictures. For the same reason, The Record is not even running a photo of the exterior of the store.

So why is Rita Moran, the owner of the store, wary of letting the public photograph the inside of Apple Valley Books?

The answer is provided by Rita Moran herself. Moran is Chairwoman of the Kennebec County Democratic Committee.  In the summer of 2007,  The Record revealed that Moran is a practitioner of the occult, and participates in occult rituals at a shrine dedicated to the goddess of witchcraft.

Visitors to Rita Moran's bookstore will see that the occult is mixed in with the ordinary so as to almost be imperceptible. In the same way, the forces of darkness operate unnoticed in our civic life disguised as "marriage equality" (homosexual marriage) or "freedom of choice," (abortion) and few citizens are brave enough to call these practices what they really are - evil.

Lucky for us, the sharp folks at the Christian Civic League of Maine are on the case and doing all they can to protect us from this unspeakable "evil"! And as we all know, why bother substantively disagreeing with someone when you can instead publicly castigate them as an immoral pagan? After all, that's about par for the course for public discourse in America (see Joe McCarthy).
