Right after my son was born I was I was having problems with intrusive thoughts and schizophrenia. I saw deliverance ministers. They commanded “demons “to come out of me. They had me throw up in a trashcan. If you’ve heard of deliverance ministry stay away from it. They said that when you throw up you’re throwing up demons out of your body. This is pseudo Christianity. I’m thinking of telling my doctor that people like this exist. After they were done with me my problems were worse. People need to know about these people. They told me to go off my psych meds. They meant well but it just not a good thing.

Much respect to you. I was only taken to faith healers. One asked for a picture of me to take with him. Then he went into a place for a while. Then he came back and just said you are to be good. Another lady gave me holy water to put over me when I shower. And another sat down and started praying and asked what I was feeling. He said something stupid like my problems started when I had a dream of being raped by a woman or something totally stupid.

Yeah you can call them faith healers if you want. One Lady put olive oil from my kitchen on my forehead and “anointed “me. It’s a bunch of foolishness and I didn’t know any better.
My aunt anointed all the door posts in my house. And we walked around my mobile home and prayed. Silliness.

I don’t believe in demons. I believe in deviant behavior and the study of abnormal psychology.

You know Jews don’t believe in hell. They believe your soul goes to like a laundromat for the soul to clean it. They believe in punishment. Google it. When Abraham is in fire it’s symbolic. Fire symbolizes judgement. In the Bible it talks about trees talking if that’s not symbolic I don’t know what is. Hollywood scares people by making the story of Abraham literally. Pastors know this but would rather have you scared as hell so you fill the collection plate. When king James interpreted the Bible he took a whole bunch of words like Sheol, underworld, and punishment and substituted in the word hell. This created an imagination of what hell was like. The lake of fire described in the book has fire and symbolizes judgement and punishment. If you’re religious I wouldn’t be scared of demons or hell. Some people have personality disorders and just do bad things. Don’t let Hollywood and con man pastors try to con you. The universe created you it doesn’t hate you. Buy yes there are bad people out there living like demons.
