Me: "How come you didn't like Spider-Man, anyway? I thought it was really good."
Him: "It was that green guy."
Me: "The Green Goblin? I thought they actually did a very good adaption of his character from the comic book. I never liked him as a villain in the comic book actually, I thought the movie version of the character was good though."
Him: "No, it wasn't that, it was because he was daemon possessed."
Me: (Blank stare) "Are we talking about the same movie here?"
Him: "You know, that part where he's talking to the thing."
Me: "What thing? You mean when he's talking to the helmet when it's on the chair?"
Him: "No, when he hears the voice from upstairs. That was a daemon."
Me: "What are you talking about? That was supposed to be him as well, his personality split when he took that super soldier serum, think of it as chemically-induced MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder).
Him: "That multiple thing is caused by daemons too, each of those personalities is actually just another daemon."
Me: (Retreats into silence, overwhelmed at the sheer idiocy of some people)
I am glad I told him not to go see The Hulk (which I actually enjoyed). :Q
That's how my in-laws are. My MIL talked my husband into burning his Lord of the Rings set when he was 19-20 because he might be demonically influenced by them. I know people (from my husband's past/family/church) who think going to see The Lord of the Rings in the theatres is potentially dangerous/sinful. Harry Potter, too. They HATE the fact that I let my kids watch Dragon Tales. Spell casting and such, big no-no's you know.
Oh yeah, and apparently, my inherited visual handicap is due to the sins of my forefathers. Oh yeah, and when a relative groped me while I was a guest sleeping in their house, it was because a demon in me BECKONED to him. But of course.
This is why I occasionally twitch involuntarily. Mostly I am OK but I spend a great deal of time trying to keep my husband safely here on 'the dark side' with me.

So far, so good, but my biggest fear is that he'll rejoin the loonies.
<---will never, ever, ever let her kids be alone with those people.
