This sounds like a Christian saint in the making.
Meanwhile, words from a "sane" Christian
Quote:A nurse suffering from schizophrenia who claimed that her colleagues at the hospital adhere to Satanism is not allowed to work in the healthcare sector anymore.
The case came to light when the woman handed in a disciplinary complaint in 2020, claiming that the doctors she worked with were threatening and assaulting patients.
This led to the inspectorate starting an investigation. She is said to have subsequently stated to the inspectorate that she had also tried to "pull plugs out of sockets because invisible wires had been installed to torture patients through those sockets". She is also said to have sometimes used "her gifts" to assess situations. For example, she is said to have sometimes known in advance when someone would have breathing problems or die.
The inspectorate did not investigate these comments further. There was no further fact-finding investigation into this by the inspectorate. However, due to her psychological problems, she is no longer allowed to work in healthcare.

Meanwhile, words from a "sane" Christian
Quote:The real-life ‘exorcist’ who investigates the unexplained
The Very Reverend Canon Dr Jason Bray is an Anglican priest and the Dean of Llandaff Cathedral.
He also happens to be a deliverance minister – more commonly known as an exorcist.
“We’re the people that go out and deal with the paranormal," said Dr Bray, who has spoken to BBC News about the work that he does.
"A bit like ghostbusting, that sort of thing, and a bit of an exorcist as well. Although, we don’t very often do the exorcism, certainly not of people."
“What I deal with is haunted houses, people who think that Auntie Brenda is lurking in the airing cupboard and she really shouldn’t be there,” said Dr Bray.
He said he also dealt with reports of poltergeist activity, which is the belief held by some people that a spirit or force can move furniture or throw objects around a house.
"Things go missing or things go bump in the night, or doors open. Or the TV turns itself on and off, that’s another thing we deal with – poltergeist activity.”
“We occasionally deal with people who come along and say ‘help me, I’m possessed’ so they’re looking for an exorcism,” he said.
“That’s one of the things we never do because the chances are, if you come and say ‘I’m possessed’, if something has taken over your entire being, your will, your entity, it’s not going to let you speak to your local vicar to say ‘throw me out, will you’.
He became interested in exorcism after moving into the curate’s house at his new ministry, Dr Bray said he and his wife noticed that the house was unusually cold, even in the summer.
“While we were there, our first child was born, Thomas, and we noticed that his room was actually colder and darker than the others. We thought that was a bit strange," he said.
The couple noticed a draft coming down the stairs, which they said appeared to be coming from nowhere.
Dr Bray said he then had a "frightening" experience in the middle of the night.
“I was standing at the bathroom door and it was like this sensation of knowing that there was somebody standing on the other side of the door,” he said.
“I felt really, really frightened.”
Dr Bray asked his boss, the local vicar, for help, who subsequently came to the house.
“The vicar came around and he said some prayers, some of them I think were in Latin,” he said.
“He splashed some holy water around the place, we said the Lord’s prayer together, and the house just returned to what it should have been. It was then warm, it was sunny – it was quite a pleasant place to be.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
