The dance craze Nae Nae has been a big hit, spawning many covers and dance renditions from artists and several notable dance groups all over the world. It has taken the world by storm since it was released, and oddly, some accounts claim the success of this dance craze was influenced by demonic powers, as it is said that the dance symbolizes a 500-year ritual done to summon Lucifer from the pits of hell. The post wqs made by satirical website Manila Link, claiming that the Bishop of Rome and the Sovereign of the Vatican City stated these concerning truths. Surprisingly, many believed the post and stated for themselves that the dance is indeed a demonic ritual. But of course, we're her to slay hoaxes and we're sorry to burst everyone's bubbles. The whole thing is fake."This Nae Nae dance you speak of, it's a devil worship, Pope Francis supposedly said. It is what the Greek cultists used to do in their attempt to summon Satan and intercept the resurrection of the Holy Father's son." According to the post. Many have began observing and analyzing the dance since the news broke out. The hand gestures, movements and patterns, are telltale signs of a demonic ritual. Of course, those are the statements of some believers of the post. Along with examining the lyrics, many are indeed convinced. But for some, they say that it's an overblown proportion of human thinking and the whole thing is just a hyperbole brought about by people linking the simple dance to a ritual. For a further background, let's take a look at how the song was created. According to teen quintet We Are Toonz, the group said that the dance was loosely based on Martin Lawrence's portrayal of Sheneneh Jenkins in the 90's sitcom Martin. One of the group members, Cal Lamar, explains the dance and says "It's really just based on a rachet girl in the club dancing kind of funny and the best way to describe it is Sheneneh from Martin."
Hopefully that clears the air up on this conflicting report. Surely many have believed, but now it's time to put confusions to rest and be assured that all of it is nothing more than a fake hoax spread out. A particularly good response with on-point evaluation of the song was stated by Denzil Drizzle Pepping, who said "It's dependant (sic) on how you do it and whats (sic) your intention. If you are a devil worshipper (sic) and do the dance intentionally to worship, its (sic) wrong. But if you do the dance out of joy, pure fulfilment (sic) and the goodness of your heart then dance your life away."
What do you think of the Nae Nae dance craze? Is it really a demonic ritual? Or is it just a product of hyperbole raised by the Internet? You be the judge and let us know with your comments!

Does the Nae Nae Dance Symbolize A Demonic Ritual? Read on to Find Out!
A text message that made its way into the Internet depicting the gathering of Iglesia ni Cristo members on EDSA in Manila is gathering controversy and debate amongst the media and the people as well. It seems INC members are gearing up to show resilience to the government after an expelled INC official exposed distressing truths happening inside their church. This comes after expelled INC minister Isaias Samson Jr filed an illegal detention case against INC leaders before the DOJ. This caused the EDSA to freeze and clog the traffic flow, as they rallied into the highway without prior notice, seemingly declaring for what they say "the separation of church and state", causing major concern and stress to vehicle drivers, motorists, and civilians alike. The text is believed to call on Iglesia ni Cristo members to join the rally and negate the traffic in EDSA so the government takes notice of their collective prowess. Some INC detractors say the message stemmed from the leaders of the church. But some people pointed out that the text message is doubtful, mainly because the spelling of the word Cristo started with a "K", while INC members use "C" in the spelling of their church. Some believe that the message came from a Facebook page called "ONEwithEVM." seemingly the initials of current INC head Eduardo V. Manalo, who is involved in one of the subjects of the expelled minister's allegations.
In a text message, Manila’s public information office said the INC was “granted an extension to hold a public assembly along Pedro Gil, Padre Faura, and United Nations Avenue from August 29 to September 4, 2015, up to 12 midnight.”

This extension is “subject to the same conditions stipulated in the original permit” granted by the Manila city hall on Wednesday, August 26.
It certainly won't help that the rally will last for days, as the heat and tension rises from every direction on the church, its members, and its detractors.

What is The Truth Behind The Controversial Text Message Allegedly From Iglesia ni Cristo?
FACEBOOK - A screen cap of an argument among students sparked the debate whether theology and science shouldn't mix together in schools.
Pro-God
The pro-God stance argues that schools should not teach science, especially the Big Bang Theory, as the root of men and all creations. "We don't care what facts they have, we have the Bible," said one netizen in response to the viral screen cap.
Pro-Science
The pro-Science stance argues that teaching God as the root of all creations disqualifies and "disrespects" other beliefs. "Science has facts, these religious people should know how to respect facts. Whenever we try to argue with them, they just say 'bla bla bla, you're going to hell,'" said Martin Baltazar in a Facebook post.
Celebrities have been tagged on both Facebook and Twitter, but no big names have chimed in on the debate so far.

NEW YORK - A memo sent by the NBA states that players are no longer allowed to say "thank God" in any way shape or form. This applies during international and nationwide (US) TV broadcasts of games.
"We do not want to offend those who have a different belief," said NBA commissioner Adam Silver. "I respect everyone's belief, which is why the board and I has agreed to implement this rule during widely broadcasted games."
The memo stated that during local broadcasts of up to a state level, players are allowed to celebrate their belief on-screen in any way shape or form. It also stated that other forms of praising a deity is no longer allowed on-screen.
The issue was brought up to the former NBA commissioner David Stern's attention late in 2009 when multiple complaints from non-Christian fans stated that they were offended by the celebration of the Christian God on-screen.
The most notable complaint being on NBA star Stephen Curry who recently won a NBA championship with the Golden State Warriors.
Curry was reportedly disappointed with the NBA board's decision and has filed a petition to uplift the restriction.

NBA Players Are No Longer Allowed To Thank God
VATICAN - "The [Nae Nae] dance heavily resembles a 500 year old demonic ritual that was practiced to spawn Satan himself," says the Bishop of Rome and the Sovereign of the Vatican City.
Fox News (United States) caught up with the Pope in the Vatican today as he delivered his statement towards the LGBT community, divorce and legalization of marijuana as a recreational drug. Pope Francis was also asked to comment on the latest dance craze, the "Nae Nae" dance, to which he shook his head.
"This 'Nae Nae' dance you speak of, it's a form of Devil worship," the Pope told interviewer John Sly. Sly was shocked after the lighthearted question backfired. "It is what the Greek cultists used to do in their attempt to summon Satan and intercept the resurrection of the Holy Father's Son." He asked the devotees to not participate in the dance craze and save their peers from doom by stopping the viral hit from being shared.

CEBU - A church in Cebu, Philippines has announced their intentions to ban gays from attending future masses including the traditional Sunday mass. The LGBT community was outraged by the announcement and took it to social media.
The church which did not wish to be named on this publication has posted on their Facebook page and on the gates of the church a three-paragraph memo that stated all gays are not allowed to come within their grounds. "Those who are gay should not come to our church and disrespect the Lord with their presence," the memo stated.
"That's what I'd call blasphemy," said a member of the LGBT community on the popular social networking site Twitter. #LGBTCebu trended for 6 hours worldwide last night and is still a trending topic in the Philippines as of the time of this posting. "Sino sila para sabihin na bawal na kaming mag-simba at pumasok sa simbahan ng Diyos?" ("Who are they to tell us that we are no longer allowed to worship and enter the Lord's church?") asked Felix Banaba on Facebook.
How the church reacts to this backlash from social media will be the focus in these next few days. Other churches within the area are considering following the same footsteps if the ban is successfully implemented. Cebu's municipal government is yet to publish a statement regarding the ban.
