OK, I'll jump in this one. Of course, I can't say if the subjects in those videos were possessed or not. Although since I have no reason to believe in demons or the devil, I doubt it.
Show me an exorcism that cannot be explained by mental illness or acting. If these demons are so powerful, why can't they levitate a bed like in the movies? Maybe that's just not the way it works, and isn't that convenient.

Anything they broadcast is motivated by the desire for more viewers. More viewers = more money. The more controversial and fantastic the better.

The most credible eyewitness should be unbiased. Clergy are only human, subject to the same failings and delusions as anyone else.
MisterLove Wrote:e) Countless cases of documented exorcisms and the official doctrine of the Catholic Chruch that acknowledges the existence of the devil and the possibility of possessions.Documented by who? The same biased clergy as above? Exorcisms performed do not prove the existence of demons or possession.
