Satan Possesses Passion Composer’s Computer
MSNBC’s celebrity gossip column relates the harrowing tale this week of how John Debney, who composed the music for Mel Gibson’s controversial new movie The Passion of the Christ, was haunted by the visage of Satan in his computer monitor as he worked on the film’s score. This is too good not to quote here:
“I had never before subscribed to the idea that maybe Satan is a real person, but I can attest that he was in my room a lot and I know that he hit everyone on this production,” Debney said, according to a lengthy interview that ran on Assist News Service, a Christian news agency.
Debney claims that Satan’s image kept appearing on his computer screen while he was trying to compose music. “The first time it happened, it scared me,” he said. “Once I got over the initial shock of that, I learned to work around it and learned to reboot the computers and so I would start talking to him…. The computers froze for about the tenth time [one] day and it was about nine o’clock at night and so I got really mad and I told Satan to manifest himself and I said, ‘Let’s go out into the parking lot and let’s go.’ It was a seed change in me. I knew that this was war. I am not a physical person, but I was really angry on this occasion.”
MSNBC columnist Jeannette Walls goes on to note that Debney’s spokesman confirmed for her that the composer did, in fact, utter those words. What I’d like to know is what he was on at the time so I can be sure to never, never take any. (MSNBC via
