Exorcism?

[Leonardo17]

Jesus christ buy a cookbook for a change.

   I totally agree that there are so many other subjects in this life to be interested in. But if you will just look at the number of Hollywood movies on the subject you can see that the majority of people seem to be interested in these subjects rather than not.

   Personally, I choose to leave the subject aside because it’s negative, scary and misleading. In organized religions this theme is used to scare and terrorize people so that out of the fear of these supernatural creatures they will be willing to keep practicing outdated religious rituals and keep believing whatever stuff their Rabi / Priest or Imam is feeding them.


   But this guy is different (I mean Scott Peck). When I find people who have intelligent theories on a phenomenon that we all know exists in this world even if there has been no verifiable observation just yet, I tend to read these works.
 
  Another important point is that there are all sort of misleading works on the subject. In “People of the Lie – The Hope for Healing Human Evil” Scott peck is event pointing out to the fact that “possessed” people are usually people who messed with some occult practices at some point in their lives. He also states that true possession is a rather rare phenomenon.
   So this reminds me of some Laveyan writings I had come upon many years ago. These occult approaches are r

omanticizing the “rebel” nature of Satan and are using to create another distorted picture of the phenomenon of Evil and or “Father of the Lie” as Scott Peck defines it.

   And the guy he is referring to for deeper study is Malachi Martin and the book is called “Hostage to the Devil”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malachi_Martin

   So if we are to refuse an idea, isn’t it better to first try to understand it correctly?

   Again: I don’t believe that typical religious belief and/or popular culture understands this issue in the right manner. Which is why I will recommend this book to anyone who might be interested in the subject.
