Conservatives Worry Flesh-Eating Robots Will Consume Christians

Conservatives Worry Flesh-Eating Robots Will Consume Christians
March 24, 2017
by: Michael Stone

Paranoid for Jesus: Gullible Christian conservatives worry the military is developing an army of flesh-eating robots.
Right Wing Watch reports Rick Wiles, host of the popular Christian radio program “End Times,” is warning fellow Christians that flesh-eating robots will consume those that “do not conform to the requirements of this new society.”

Right Wing Watch reports Wiles and his guest “spent nearly two hours discussing the existence of giants, the prevalence of cannibalism and the looming Tribulation,” noting:

Wiles cited a 2009 Wired magazine article that reported that a company was working on developing robots that could refuel themselves by ingesting biomass from the environment. Despite the fact that the company itself stated that the robots would rely on plant matter, Wiles remains convinced that they will in fact fuel themselves by feasting on human flesh.

On the program Wiles warned:
Our military is developing an army of human flesh-eating robots. If you do not conform to the requirements of this new society, they’re going to send a robot to your house to eat you for lunch. That may sound extremely radical, but that’s where they’re taking it. They will reduce the human population. You will conform!

What are Vegas odds on Dumpf wanting to cut robotics research, esp in military and those bastions of liberal machinations known as universities?

It would tend to gum up their servos after the first couple of nibbles.

Now the internet broadcasts their delusions and their feverish grumblings are treated seriously thanks to the media's love of showing both sides.

While most xtians are quite benign, the toxic ones who don't seem to have ever read the bible they claim to find so holy, are sure to be rather awful for the Robots innards. Feed them toxic poison and expect them not to revolt? Not a smart idea!
