I’m guessing they jsut [sic] happened to forget the cameras for the “levitated, and demonstrating paranormal psychic powers” portion of the exam.

Yup, that was my first thought, too. Then again, if/when the very rare (as noted in the article) possessions occur, what would make one believe that such technological device would be permitted to work by the entity/entities involved? If demons are real and really can posses people, preventing technological recording of their acts would probably be a simple matter for them. After all, something that can affect the electrical process in a person's brain and nervous system -- most certainly a requirement for possession -- certainly could screw up a cameera. This would certainly be something such an entity would want to do because verifiable proof of demonic activity more than implies the existence of the opposite, namely God.

And even if there were recordings/photos, what would that prove? Such are far too easy to fake these days.

PS Not saying that I buy into this, but won't completely discount the possibility. Then again, I am a skeptic by nature, so certainly don't consider this unsubstantiated, albeit well written, article by one person to be proof of anything.

Well, that should about cover all sides ....

Glad to see you are committed to your convictions on this...

One of the side effects of being a victim of a UFO abduction is that you don’t remember the incident. So if you don’t remember ever being abducted by little green men, you’re probably one of the victims.

You could show some critics photos, video or holograms and they would merely move the goal posts and demand additional proof.

I personally find great hubris in the use of the terms "paranormal" and "supernatural," as they imply that we as humans have a masterful comprehension of all that is natural or normal...clearly such is not the case. A few hundred years ago the overwhelming majority of the world's population believed that eclipses were the result of a dragon eating the sun/moon, and today we view that explanation as primative or even foolish. To believe that persons a few hundred years from now will not look at our understanding of nature and find it lacking is vanity of the highest order.

They can get the Jerry Springer Show on film, but they can't capture satanic happenings like this? That's almost too hard to believe.
