There is no such a thing as demons.

It's a mental illness and studies have repeatedly shown that they can be treated with medications. I have seen videos of "people possessed by demons" and they're just a bunch of loonies seeking attention.

In virtually all cultures, mental illness is often thought to be caused by demons and they would do anything to "rebuke" demons out of their bodies. Naturally, it's all the power of suggestion that only worsen their mental illnesses.

That's why I condemn those preachers - they shouldn't be allowed to inflict harm and those mentally ill people need to be treated by professionals, not be taken advantage of by preachers and scaring naive people into believing such a thing exists.

No, its not ZERO evidence. There are some evidences of real excorcism. Its nothing new of disbelieving that they are real, because even pharisees and sadduccees saw, but still disbelieving and name calling on Jesus. You are stereotyping christians. Even tho you choose what you think. But like I said their are evidences of it. And some are denying it and knowing they are real but won't accept the fact they are real. All the mentally illness and stuff are not always demon possess. I noticed how it works of many people. When news media has a fact proof of excorcism and thinking still false. When same news media show SOME false preachers, a lot were say see, they are false and you believe them and claim ALL do that. All I can see, is avoiding the truth and taking on christians out of context. Regard of what's going on of all kinds, I must let the Holy Spirit guide me and cautious me who is real and false. I have seen many false philosphies and doctrines. In my early christian life, I fall easily and notice and the sense of it doesn't sound right and that's how I must study the Word to make sure what is right and wrongs. I'm not 100 percent knowing it all and not one soul on this earth does. Its chosing what they want to believe and also toooooo many want to follow that's satisfies them other than taken serious and what self responsiblilty and act upon. My faith stand strong in Christ Jesus, regard of the surroundings of events or circumstances. Bec I stand my faith on the Rock, who is Jesus Christ.

You believe that the Bible is the holy Truth. I don't. Therefore whatever is said in the Bible is make-believe, and every time you say, "but the Bible says this, so it must be true!" you make your argument all that more stupid.

I could tell you I believe everything that is in the Book of Islam. You won't believe me when I tell you that when I "kill an infidel Allah has promised me I will get 72 female virgins in Heaven." The book of Islam is no more real to you than the Bible is to me.

That's how I don't believe in your statement that "There are some evidences of real excorcism. Its nothing new of disbelieving that they are real, because even pharisees and sadduccees saw, but still disbelieving and name calling on Jesus."

Go get some real sources and come back here to debate this.
