First of all, my religious beliefs are of the Christian faith. That is to say, I don't adhere to any particular religion itself, I just follow the basic beliefs of what our creator set down for us. If you wish to discuss religious dogma, I will. However, this is not the place for it. I only make the above statement, because it is somewhat important to the subject at hand.
In the Bible, Christ cast out demons. It says so. In black and white, maybe plain, maybe not; it depends on what version you read. I have often argued the point that what ancient man took for demon possession in the Bible today, would be considered diseases of the mind and flesh as opposed to any otherworldly interference. This has got me into trouble more than once, as those whom I "discussed" these matters with felt I was putting my immortal soul in jeopardy of eternal perdition with such ideas. I think not. I have yet to find ONE IRREFUTABLE DOCUMENTED CASE OF THIS PHENOMENA. Like the Apostle Thomas, I doubt what has not been proven. So saying, I do not believe in this superstitious pap anymore than I do Faith Healing, Vampires, Spells, Ghosts or Ouija Boards.
What do you guys think?
