What do I think?

I find it frightening that demons possess people.  I know it sounds like a bunch of hooey.. but just ask all the people who have used/abused ouija boards!


Check out this real live account from a Roman Catholic Priest (wierd sort of Christian I know!) about his battle with the devils!

Can you exorcise yourself from our presence? I promise to believe in exorcism but only if you succeed.

Ok, I'm going to agree with Deirdre and Chuck.  This "TrueChristian" guy is apparently a shit and run troll.  He starts posts (followed by the MO ?) and then never engages in the discussion.  It might be time to start asking the mods to ban him.

Demons are a simplistic and stupid explanation for strange events.

It's not just unsupported nonsense though, such beliefs are harmful. Instead of getting proper medical treatment, people get traumatised further by charlatans/deluded maniacs.

When did you get so dark ; ____ ;

I think that a well-conducted course of psychiatric evaluation and treatment could eliminate exorcism.

Ouija boards are a parlor game, the messages are spelt out by the ideomotor effect.

Oh now there is a reliable source!  You sure he wasn't just ass-raping a 9 year old?

I could post accounts of: a twenty years old man who insists he's the one who shot John Kennedy; a man who is convinced he owns all of the diamond minds in South Africa (and spends his days keeping books on them; a woman who asserts that she was raped by Bigfoot, got preggers, and had a miscarriage; and countless people who were abducted and probed by ETs.

Relating an account is no indication of the truth or falsity of the account.

I find it extra frightening that people still believe that demons possess people!
