Exorcism is making a comeback. Is this a sign of the end times?

a reply to: DeathSlayer

In order to believe exorcisms are real you would have to believe in demons (evil spirits), angels, the supernatural world, a creator or any type of spirits....

Why is the belief in a creator required? I get that you're trying to attribute this to Christian mythology,however there are other mythologies that have similar entities. It is not exclusively a Christian concept, neither would it require a creator for the existence of such entities.

Just throwing this out there but these "demons" or entities if they were to exist could possibly be from another dimensional plane that seep into ours once in awhile either intentionally or unintentionally... How or why? I wouldn't know. My best guess is through some form of technological means.

The only mythology which says the creator is an explosion and therefore not a creator, has trouble with anything that is both conscious and immaterial, so it doesn't use the term "exorcism"
yet some may argue that such a mythology is disrespectful of one's lineage, which may not be constituted in overwhelming majority by unthinking beasts.

Technology is used to seep "entities" into our "plane" yes: advertising, war, misplaced lust, a bunch of stuff, and it can be made into a pokemon at fifteen volts per dollar if you will, but technology refers to the dressing of concepts, not the concepts.

It's the sign of a dwindling system based on control and oppression desperately trying to justify it's existence and stay relevant.

The lie that anybody ever needed buildings, organisations and a bunch of unaturally repressed middlemen to have a relationship with God is coming to an end, it couldn't come soon enough in my opinion.

they can be really good companion if you play it well.

no

they only appear that way until the woman eats the fruit

Don't watch freaky, convincing, real life footage or read real life stories about hateful ghosts at 2.00am in the morning when you live alone away from civilization... "Aint nobody got time for that"

You should just get a cold pop and relax.
It isn't real.

It's Fools day everyday here at ATS religion,faith and theology.

Father Malachi calls it "perfect possession" where the host feels secure and satisfied with the entity in its life and is not willing to surrender it up but to protect it and you would be surprised how many there are out here walking around as perfectly possessed.

A similarity can be drawn by thinking about those Christians that accept Jesus Christ, and pray he comes into their heart. Some say the body is then the temple of the Lord. Are Christians not possessed by Jesus Christ?

Debatable

Exorcisms are a scam to make money.

But perhaps that's not even as tricky as the reality that if a person even dares to mention the possibility of demonic possession, they usually discredit themselves in the eyes of those who think the idea of the existence of demons is preposterous and indicative of religious brainwashing to the point of paranoia (or see the comment about Satan in the video below that is also used to not consider the possibiliy of his existence). Thus, among certain groups of people you can't really warn them of their existence and possible presence in a human body cause they'll jump right on you and make fun of you and destroy your credibility so they can continue deceiving humanity with the thousands of years of experience they have in doing that (which might be a clue, their sophistication, not people rolling over the floors and levitating as you see in movies, allthough in some extreme cases that may also be related to demonic activity except for the levitation, which I just used as an example from movies). It's still hard to tell though, so it's probably always wiser to be careful regarding the claims of demonic possession.

Real science, knowledge about realities compared to philosophies and stories

Everything seems to be a sign of doomsday for religious people nowadays. There are all kinds of spirits and when people are now ascending they see more easily spirits and some get hooked up with them. You have to choose now if you want to see things in a positive way or if you want doomsday. It is better to try to be positive, because that's how we create our world more positive. By concentrating, fearing and scaring others we have some negative effect on outcome, how this world is going to be.
