Libs are only concerned about the feared results when it is against one of their sacred cows. Otherwise, they ask us to consider the effort of a failed program rather than looking at the results.

It is a sad day for America when religious practice is condemned as insanity.

I knew a prominent preacher of the past who did cast out a demon of homosexuality. His famous sermon, “The sickest Sin in the World” condemning homosexuality from a Biblical perspective, is now long forgotten.

I’ve never studied Exorcism in depth but just from my understanding of human psychology which I have studied I believe that Exorcism no matter how unpleasant to watch may produce real results in some people. It provides a shock to the system whether you believe it is a spiritual shock or a psychological shock it is easy to see where such an event may indeed provide healing. Perception is a very powerful thing and if a singular event such as Exorcism can provide a shock to the system then it may be a valid option. It is something that has not be studied in detail as far as I know. People often assume wrongly that because something comes from a religious discipline that it is baseless. We increasingly know that to be an over generalization and largely untrue. Religion is no different than any other human endeavor in that it sometimes acquires weird or questionable traditions but that by no means indicates the quality of religion as a whole.
