Key phrase being TRADITIONAL BELIEFS (superstitions) not CHRISTIAN BELIEFS

I call bullshit here huggy. It has EVERYTHING to do with religion.

I have been diagnosed with a mental illness (you can keep reading I won't kill you). Members of my church saw fit to "lay hands on me" and pray for me. One went so far as paying for time with a "pastor" who could cast out demons. I drew the line there. Being touched and prayed for was down right humiliating but being told I am possessed by demons? Really?
