I don't believe it's a scam as much as it is a deluded method for a cure which happens to react as a strong placebo effect in the minds of mentally ill people.

As for demons, as much as I love the lore and mythology behind them, I don't believe they exist, or at least exist in a form in which they can interact with/harm us.

I believe they exist because I believe in what the Bible says. Demons are called the "devil's helpers." They are the fallen angels that followed Satan into Hell.

I believe in spirits and partial possessions, but I won't go as far to say demons and exorcisms are real. I have felt, heard, and seen unexplainable. I have had off of the wall feelings, during which I have said werid, off the wall things. It was a bad time in my life so it could have been just some unstable, mental issue, but I personally feel it wasn't. All of those things happened when I went into a highly wooded, abondoned military base. A lot of people go back in there and some are killed. That is a very strange and creepy place. I believe spirits can mess with you thoughts and emotions because they are pure energy. Since they are energy, they can use the energy to manipulate your brain in such a way to change you thoughts and emotions. I don't believe in exorcisms or demons though.

I believe in Demons are real & can hurt us physically & emotionally to an extent. I believe they thrive off fear & although we don't encounter them so often , they're still real & there are documented cases.

As for exorcisms , I think there is something a bit deeper than what we are told because the only religion that really carries out most exorcisms & has the most experience are Catholic churches. If I'm not mistaken , before a Catholic priest carries out an exorcism.. he must first receive permission from the Vatican.

Demons are real in my mind. I have seen an exorcism go down in front of my and I have to say it was creepy. Happened in my Church during the sermon.

They have to get permission from the Vatican because they have to prove that they aren't just insane.

I want to believe but I've seen no proof.
