I did not mention 'exorcism' because it is too sensationalist.
Anyway, enjoy the reading. I find it puzzling as well as disturbing on some levels. What do YOU think?

Evil exists, I have seen it so no question but it is not only outside ourselves.
When some folks start chasing demons I have my doubt over their sanity as well as those who ask for an exorcism. Especially when they come up with sentences like 'Harry potter books have real spells'.
The article places a spin of the whole thing yet we get some glimpse of the folks mentality involved in it.
- It cost money 'people who to rehab pay so...'
- Home schooled kids that espouse their parents core beliefs... That for me is a show stopper. A child raised and educated in such an environment is rarely given the opportunity to make a choice and as such his 'convictions' are shaky to say the least. One could even use the term 'brainwashed' but I will not go that far, even if I mention it.
All in all, this article does not uncover anything new or extraordinary yet I find interesting to see that what we would like to be 'the past' (exorcism) is well and alive today.
The real trouble I see today is that we want to believe in the 'good' and forget the 'bad'. God vs evil is a true fight but it does not take place outside ourselves but within. Folks like this are bad news, same as the groups that promote hatred and discrimination under the name of a god that has nothing to do with it.
This is where the understand of 'Jihad' lies as for the Muslims it a real fight and implies a fight within themselves. We, 'Christians', do not have a word for it or if there was one, it has long been suppressed. The question is: By who?
