Ooo, so I've managed to combine demon posession with being a Vicar for 34 years! And presumably the strange language I always thought was Welsh was proof that my congregations in Wales were demon-posessed as well!

Best entertainment I've had all day: thank you for sharing this guff, which deserves the widest possible audience!

nononononono... I was very careful to open the post with where I was coming from on this and to use the term "Fundamentalist" in it's literal sense (I knew that I needed a better disclaimer)...

You're right. My bad.

I used to leave my kid with a friend of mine who is Catholic. Once my daughter had an "episode" at her house (she used to have "episodes" were she started laughing out of the blue and would not stop, like she was crazy), and my friend pour holy water on my kid, because she thought the kid was possessed by demons. We did not leave our kid with her again. Our daughter was diagnosed with AS two years later.

Religious nuts to tend to blame things on demons, that is not suprising.

I would like to ask this person, if I am afflicted by demons, then how come I don't burst into flames when I read the Bible? How come I use to go to Church with no issues? How come I was saved from death several times? I really hope this person doesn't have a child or grandchild with Autism or any Special Needs.

I never fail to be amazed and amused by what brainwashed god believers come up with.

Some of them actually believe what it says in the bible. Lol

That's funny. Frankly religious people have absolutely no credibility at all anyway so seeing this person spout a bunch of verbal diarrhea like that is not unexpected.

Well, obviously it's a backlog issue. With all of us throughout history being possessed, they have to space it out or the entire planet would overheat from the flames. (I wonder if this is the main cause of global warming?)

Religion and spirituality aren't bad things. Unfortunately, the people that don't hear the message properly are the ones that spout it the loudest and most vehemently.

'Religious Fundamentalism is a label used by the world governments and society to make regimented bigotry more socially acceptable.

Fundamentalist adults/people have very obvious traits and anyone will know a fundamentalist adult when listening to one.

You can literally feel it in their presence a heaviness and darkness while in their presence that cannot be ignored

The fact is this; a truly Fundamentalist adult/person has the same symptoms of demonic possession as in:

Lewd behavior as in exposing one's beliefs and imitating spiritual acts with no prior knowledge of these things

Violence, be it self inflicted or towards others who do not beleive as they do

They will verbally excrement on themselves and let loose their oppressive thoughts at any time or place and also deliberately incite controversy as they seem to like having the conflict and scorn of others.

They spit on other beliefs and those that they don't understand

They have animalistic traits like irrational aggression towards those that aren't in their pack

They will accept any idea including disproven "facts" and garbage if it has a smell that attracts them to it

They will scream without end at times, and in a loud howl-like inhuman screaming sound that can shatter anyones nerves overtime

They keep up constant noise vocally or with objects to bring confusion to where ever they are

They punish themselves and others for no reason

They belittle or attempt to subjugate or convert others

Logic really doesn’t affect them

They speak a strange language and they actually can communicate between each other

They are extremely loud, aggressive and increasingly irrational when in a rage

As a minority they can over power a rational majority when having the fits of rage

They invoke the Name of Jesus while ignoring His teachings and they attempt to control others through that invocation
They are selfish, mean spirited, and dominate people

They show no signs of guilt when doing wrong'


hahaha. some people are so full of crap. it was good for a laugh i must say. this does explain the sizzling when i dip my hands in holy water though...

Urgh... People who are as moronic as this just need to be ignored. Not only has he insulted autistic people, he has also insulted christian people. Not all christians are like this, alot of them are good people but idiots like this give them a bad name. I'm an atheist and I've always been but I feel sorry for non-fundie christians sometimes :/

But yeah, without a a doubt this guy is just an overly-religious nutjob with a chip on his shoulder.

Please read the first article in my WP blog: "120 Things That Every Christian Must Believe".

It may have some relevance to this topic, but it is too long to post in this thread
