I happened to watch an ABC special called, Beyond Belief Battle with the Devil. Not only was it disturbing, but it was down right disrespectful. They had people there that claimed demons can come in the form of cramps, hemorrhoids, problems with others, and bad luck.
They took people that obviously looked like they either just came out of a mental hospital, or there was a car waiting outside to take them to one. There was a man that had a "demon" exercised from him one night, and then took his 7 yr old son to do the same. As the child was yelling "get off of me", they claimed it was due to his "demons" fighting.
They had ex-prostitutes claiming that they knew devils, by blaming pimps, a women that was suicidal, and claimed that the devil tried to give her a gun, and much, much ,more.
Is this what the media wants people to believe? Was there a religious person that took offense to this? Why are we still blaming "demons" for peoples actions? There was even a psychologist that claimed that Priests were still using 12 Century methods to "cure" demons.
While I was watching this appalling episode, I felt like I was in the 12th Century.
BTW, for those who want to say "why did you watch it then", well its better to know what your dealing with, then not. I want to be sure then when someone blames their "butt" issues on a demon, I knew what was coming, or the next time someone tells me they have cramps, I can call the Vatican, instead of the pharmacy.
I can only imagine tomorrow when a co worker of someone who called in sick, goes to the water cooler to discuss the "real" reason they called in sick. Then they return to work and its booby trapped with crosses, and holy water.
Peace, NRE.
