Post #9. If diseases were all caused by demon possession, you wouldn't say that he cast out demons AND cured diseases. You'd say one or the other. It's clear that they are two different things.
Note that symptoms can overlap. A person could have epileptic symptoms due to disease or demon possession.
Further, casting out demons Biblically was not torturous or deadly. So, the African exorcisms are not Biblically based.
