...another form of torture....

Rating: 5/10 (12 January 2015)

Some religions, including "Christianity" believes that the Devil(s) or the Satan(s) has much power enable them to possess and control other people bodies; this was enforced, probably, by the Idea of "Jesus" being crucified and tortured by some people. Different from Islamic religion, the powers of the Devil(s) are very limited, not exceeding showing signs of temptations to people, they do not have the power or ability to physically harm, possess or hurt. I, myself, as an atheist, watching and hearing some stories from here and there conclude that; what happens, in these "cases/stories/events" could be explained in either any one of these three possibilities: .................. 1) The "victim" or the "person being accused of being possessed" is a normal person who had some talents or shows some activities that were strange to those around "him/her". Influenced by the "Christians believes", those around "him/her" start to implement "exorcism rituals" which are actually some sort of "torturing"; such torturing may include: hitting, slapping, wounding, injuring, isolating, starving, imprisonment, chaining the victim to the bed, etc. eventually; the result is: the victim's character or behavior's "transforms" from a normal behavior into another style of behavior that may sometimes change "his/her" voice or character partially or completely. ................. 2) Those who perform the exorcism rituals are not religious; however, they "deceivingly" practice these rituals as form of "torture" to some victims whom are, sometimes, unaware of what is going on. Such form of torture is not only accepted by the society but also encouraged. ..................... 3) The victim sometimes believes that "he/she" is possessed based on the influence of the surroundings or based on "his/her" own personal believes.
