Demonic delusions

Why on earth was JD Vance talking about demons in a recent interview? I’ve got answers — and so many hilarious video clips — in this week’s “Standing Room Only.” It’s not just that the Christian right is obsessed with the occult. It’s a hot topic online and in pop culture, and poor JD is trying (and probably failing) to take advantage.

My guest this week is Taylor Leigh of the Antibot. She is an ex-evangelical and practicing Satanist. As you can imagine, she has a unique and insightful perspective on these issues.
