Violent Exorcisms

Subj: Violent Exorcisms
2. My Take:The ritual of exorcism is used, to drive the Devil ( a totally-imaginary creature ) out of an individual. Christian-Clergy is absolutely convinced that, Devil exists. They tell you “ repeatedly “ that the Devil’s deepest wile, is to persuade us that he does not exist, but he does exist & Jesus Christ says so. Of course, Jesus Christ was the Biggest-Exorcist, but he was also the Biggest-Imbecile. Jesus had no idea at all, what the hell he was talking about.
3. The Devil does not exist at all. The Devil has been invented, to answer the problem of Evil, which does exist ( and science cannot answer, according to repeated-recitations of the Christian-Clergy ). But the Devil comes in handy to the Christian-Clergy, to scare the Hell out of their congregation, and to keep them inside the Prison-House of Christianity. The congregation is told repeatedly:
“ If you don’t follow the preaching of Jesus Christ, you are going to Hell, and meet the Devil over there. “
Hearing this kind of scare, the Christian-Congregation considers itself, in grave danger of being sucked down to Hell. Engulfed in darkness of this type, the Christian-Congregation is scared of the tattered majesty of a totally imaginary creature, labeled as the Devil. Countless Christians regard the Devil as an ever-present threat. But it keeps the Christian-Church united.4. To put it simply, as a result of repeated Anti-Devil propaganda, conducted over the centuries by the Christian-Clergy, the Devil now has become a thorn in the side of Christians. The truth, however, is that it is Christianity itself that, has created the monster that became the Devil. Many churches harbor exorcists, but don’t admit it. But Catholic churches & Vatican are not shy, about having their experts ( the exorcists ).
5. Although Devil is a creature of No-Existence, it is central to the theme of Christianity. In fact, the New Testament is a story of the war between Jesus & the Devil, between good & evil. Without the Devil, Jesus has nothing to do, and no one to defeat, no way of dispensing with the problem of here & now, and no way of ushering in the kingdom of God. Thus Devil has become central to the tradition of Christianity, although the Devil is as phoney as a three dollar bill, it does not exist. The concept of Devil is as phoney as the Christian-Conviction of the Second-Coming ( of Christ ).
6. In his three-year ministry, Jesus’s principle weapon in fighting the Devil was exorcism. In the days of Christ, Jews were a profoundly-superstitious people, and they quickly grabbed the phoney-explanations ( of Devil being the cause ) of Jesus Christ.
7. Many rituals of exorcism, some of them quite-violent, are practiced even now-a-days, on people who are believed to be possessed by the Devil, to make the Devil depart. The rulings of Texas Supreme Court, excusing the violent rituals ( which harm the victim physically & mentally ), in the name of religious-expression, shows the power & influence of Christianity & the superstition of the Christian-Congregation, which exist in profusion & plenitude.
