Really. I still go to Midnight Mass at Christmas if I'm in town, as the Latin version is what I grew up with and gives that mysterious aura over everything. Or maybe that's just the acid...

They ought to do it in Pig Latin (which I grew up understanding to be called Backslang, but nvm)

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Ima wait for the coffee to kick in, but aren't there exorcisms also in the old testament?

So they get to act like they are doing something while actually not doing shit in English? BIG WHOOPTY SHIT.
The entire stupid idea of that crap stems from those in antiquity not understanding physical and mental maladies as far as things like epilepsy and mental illness.
If you have a loved one who looks like they are not well, a doctor or psychiatrist will help them, not a priest.
