Yes, and that "something" is a fundie's propensity to tell bullshit stories.
As I read this remarkable account of unearthly events at the conference I was somewhat awestruck. At first I thought, "Oooh! That's pretty damn spooky!" A feeling of dread pervaded the atmosphere in my living room. An evil spirit seemed to be hovering over me. But, muttering a quiet prayer under my breath to Lord Athe, I decided to gird my loins and read on.
And so I read the next sentence:-
"And I think that there is something very real and genuine that we’re dealing with here."
Whew! With a sigh of relief I realized all was well. There was nothing to get upset about. Nothing to fear. It was just the mewling drivel of a conman at work.
So this was a room full of Satanists, Witches, Atheists, Materialists and your friend the god botherer. Yeah right.
Just another unctuous televangelist lying through his teeth for cash.
BTW, That Crump blond comb over doesn't work for you any more than it does for him.
"A friend of mine was at a conference where some Satanists and witches were in the room. And they let out the power"...
...of Love!

I love the smell of deep-fried fundies in the morning. Smells like... victory. [/Col. Kilgore] X3
Anevilmeme indeed. b^_^d
Convenient how so many of your enemies who don't actually agree on anything in real life just so happened to congregate in the same place. I mean witches, Satanists, atheists, AND materialists. Did this conference also have liberals, Muslims, and gay pride parades, too?

Maybe the "power of evil" released was simply due to having some beans or greasy food at lunch. It's not like Satanists and Wiccans are more gassy than anyone else, however, at least that is a real thing.
"And I think that there is something very real and genuine that we’re dealing with here."
Well, there is something very un-genuine and un-real about what you're calling thinking.
A friend of mine was at a conference where some Satanists and witches were in the room.
Sounds like fun.
And they let out the power of evil in that room
As others already pointed out, someone was simply eating too many beans.
and invariably, the most shaken people were the materialists and the atheists who sensed this incredible, tangible evil that they could not deal with.
Or maybe, it was just because they realized that being in one place with (at least) one christian fundamentalist, and a bunch of so-called ´´satanists and witches´´ doesn´t have to end pretty.
And I think that there is something very real and genuine that we’re dealing with here.
Actually, you are right about this. Seriously, just look at this site. There are millions of people who want to get us back to stone age. They are the real evil.
the most shaken people were the materialists and the atheists who sensed this incredible, tangible evil that they could not deal with.
Apparently, God is always ready to step in and protect believers from invisible "evil powers". Now if only He'd actually do something useful, like curing cancer or stopping earthquakes from killing 100,000 people at a time.

Thankies for the Love-Power, my friend! Have a Happy Yuletide!
And the OP isn't even trying to tell a good yarn. There's no context to the imaginary conference. If you're gonna tell a tall tale, at least add some details!
Who's the pal's name? What's the conference for? Was it religious? Who were the witches? Why would the atheists even care?
Heck, I could apply this method of storytelling to a certain L. Frank Baum classic:
There was this kid in this Midwestern state who was caught in some meteorological phenomenon. The kid was transported to some other place and there was a bunch of little people. There was this nice lady & this mean lady (who wanted something the kid had) who hung with some flying things. There were these three weird guys....
@dionysus and Sangfroid
Sangfroid: "I call bullshit. This is truly the most ludicrous, vacuous collection of falsehoods I have ever read in the English language."
Dionysos: "I've read the Bible."
I've only read parts of the Bible (got incredibly bored somewhere among all the burnt offerings and begats and simply couldn't take it any more; I'd rather read a phone-book, if such a thing still exists), and most of it in Swedish, so I concur that this is the most ludicrous, vacuous collection of falsehoods I have ever read in the English language.
I want in on the next conference, I can manage airfare and volunteer to be the target of any and all curses or harmful magic.
THAT would get me to start up a FSTDT newroom, it'd be to fun not to report on.
A friend of mine was on an aeroplane the other day. While they were scooting along at 30 000 feet they overtook a herd of flying pigs.
Which is only slightly less likely than old John's bullshit story.
I've found that a fan set to high will dispell a lot of that power of evil.
And whenever some friends and I are out having some beers and the inevitable happens, I can now say, "That? That's the power of evil."
A lot of those incredibly naive spiritual stories sound like lonely kids repeating their daydreams so many times they end up feeling real, but this one sounds made up on purpose. The first kind I can sympathise with because I have been a very lonely kid too, I know the temptation of making up a less vacuous life, but purposedly lying just to push an agenda? No, no respect.
(Let's have some fun with this.)
What goes on in the mind of the caster is the fuel that keeps the whole spell running. The runes are just there to enhance the effect once the initial reaction starts. In order for a magical ritual to actually work, you need to have genuine belief and confidence that everything will happen as planned. Set and setting. Not mentally up to it? Expect it all to fall apart! There was this one student of mine who attempted a very basic summon and he had the whole thing blow up in his face because he lacked the spark of passion.
Wow, he's really piling it on in one short paragraph.
He's reinforcing the delusion that witchs and Satanists congregate.
That Atheists are visably shaken by supernatural vibes only you fucks believe in and also the ideal you good Christians just wave it away like a bothersome fly, so steadfast and brave you Christians.
And of course that the Christians love their big screens, SUVs, jewelery and overdone homes but at least they're not materialistic, like the witches and Satanists that attended the fourth annual Witch/ Satanist/Materialistic and some Christians to keep them in line Conference "his friend attended".
A friend of mine, a likely improbable event(why would Satanists, Witches, atheists and God knows what else, no pun intended, sit in the same room?, to play with the playstation?, what conference would they be attending, anyway?)and the result that..............well, is pretty much unclear(how did the power of evil manifest exactly?). It sounds to me urban legend at best, I made up that bullshit at worst.
If it’s a conference of witches, how did he knoew there were atheists there? We don’t usually advertise among the faithful. And why would we attend a coven-cation?
If it’s a conference of atheists, how did he know there were witches there? They don’t usually advertise their presence among the cowans. And why would they attend an atheist-icon?
And if it was a third option, a town hall, or a tupperware party, maybe a time-share presentation, then why would there be spcific, identifiable populations of witches and atheists?
If i were writing this as bible fanfic, i’d have a hard time constructing the event that justified the mix AND the Christain knowing which participants were which, but i would DEFINITELY have done so.
Maybe ‘my friend was hired to play the organ when an atheist married a witch at our church (“co-conspirator of the groom or coven-sister of the bride?”), and the mother of the bride released… '
No. Why would such a pair pay a Christain church/pastor/organist?
Well, it’s your story. PLEASE put the minimum effort into establishing the setting.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
