Relax guys. Science says “mental illness” Religion says “demonic possession” Two different ways to talk about the same thing. And frankly in some cases I think the “demonic possession” label is much more accurate in catching what is going on in the psyche. It’s not like “mental illness” or “demonic possession” is inherently real, they are just labels and concepts to describe certain phenomena. If someone has a world view where he/she considers what is happening to have a religious context, it makes sense to respect that and try to help the person within that context. Hence, go see a shaman (or exorcist I guess). ---

He was fine as of two days ago, so I just assumed it was a joke or bad trip. ---

How often do hear “I’ve had a bit of a niggling demonic possession this week, I just hope it doesn’t get worse”? ---

Do you have urges to decorate with tinsel and holly? It could be possession by demons from Santa. Not yet October and I’m starting to see Xmas stuff in the shops around here. It may be catching. :eek: ---

Satan doesn’t exist. So you can’t be possessed by Satan. There, you’re free. 🙂 ---
