When 1980s Satanic Panic Targeted Procter & Gamble

IF YOU WERE ALIVE IN 1982, you might remember a very special episode of Phil Donahue’s talk show. On that day, the President of Procter & Gamble went on the program and admitted that the company supported the Church of Satan and that its logo contained Satanic symbols. Oh, it happened in 1985? Actually, others remember the episode airing in 1989. The truth is, this never occurred. P&G has never had any connection to the Church of Satan. The Church itself describes the claim as “completely false.” But the truth has never stopped a good rumor from catching on.(link is external)

…this were the only case that demonstrates that we fundagelicals need to get working nonsense detectors.

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
