The definition of an exorcism is the practice of evicting demons or other spiritual entities from a person or an area they are believed to have possessed.

First the existence of demons would have to be proven. Since there has been no evidence of such existence, this entire topic should be dismissed. That wouldn’t be logical to many Christians though. We have this priest going around spreading lies about the existence of demons. He also claims to be able to perform exorcisms. What makes this worst is that the priest is charging people for performing these exorcisms. This is simply a blatant scam. When you look at the images in the video, the performers are putting on a show with this priest. I also forgot to mention that he also performs his exorcisms via Skype, Yes online through Skype. CNN is reporting this story as fact. I find this to be shameful on their part.

I have never been presented any evidence that stood up to testing for the existence of demons, ghosts and paranormal activities. Therefor I do not believe that any of these activities are legit. This priest, like many others, is simply a scam artists and taking advantage of all these ignorant followers. It amazes me that the audience finds this to be real. It amazes them that someone that changed their voice proves that they are possessed. We need more than anecdotal video of someone pretending to be possessed. One question we should be asking relates to the behaviors exhibited during these exorcisms. Are demons really that weak? They only flop around and make random noises? Why are they participating in these interviews? They don’t seem to be very camera shy. They must be divas?

Real Exorcisms? Via Skype?
