Homosexuality is no sin, but Bob Larson's encounter with a “filthy, stinking sex demon” is diabolically hilarious…

Thanks for the vid … Oh, that guy is such a fake. Iirc, I saw Louis Theroux getting “exorcised” by this scheister. Larson seems to be a hypnotist: first he plants in innocent minds the idea that they have been occultly endangered by their current or prior beliefs/involvement in non-Christian religions. Of course, exposure to neopaganism and Wicca are the most dire of “warning signs”. By the time Larson hypnotically inducts the victim, the poor schmuck actually thinks s/he needs an exorcism. Thus does Larson implant a Devil of his own imagination, subject, of course, to exorcism by the one and only Larson himself. Sheesh…

Is this video real or someone doing a comedy routine? I used to attend a pentecostal church and this church was convinced that homosexuality what a 'demon'. The minister would try to get gay people to 'pray the gay away'.

Although I am no longer a Catholic-Christian, still, the examples you cite make me grateful for the intellectual-scholarly traditions of Catholicism. Case in point – the extreme reluctance with which the Church directs its clergy to judge a possession case as “genuine”.

All of the stringently delineated and researched “marks” of possession written about by Blatty and hinted at by Freidkin make the Church's “take” on possession the most enlightened of all (granting, that is, the reality of demonic possession).

Thus, you don't find normative Catholics finding the Devil and demons behind bad habits, involuntary blinks or twitches, TV, news media, Hollywood, smoking, movies, dancing, rude speech, and all the host of other negative public flaws and personal idiosyncrosies which uneducated fundamentalist churches label as “satanic” or “possession”. In those denominations, everyone is a potential case of possession, and every congregation has the power of “exorcism” over such household “demons”. What a joke.

A truly supernatural possession would by nature be a Big Deal, because, if verified in this materialist, “scientific” age, we would at last have proof that the supernatural is real, and – per Blatty – if the supernatural is real, then it's possible for God to be real.

And … a truly supernatural possession cannnot – and must not – ever be confused with all-too-well understood psychological/neurotic/neurological conditions. Whatever a “genuine” possession is, it is almost certainly not the cause of of the so-called “satanic symptoms” that all too many fundamentalist congregations mistakenly first, concoct and then (self-fulfilling prophecy) perceive.

This pathetic video is a prime reason why I do not go to or follow any church or religion for that matter,
