Discuss exorcism. It is a practice in many religions like Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Taoism. In the ancient world exorcists were regarded as physicians.
In essence it's the, correct, belief that spirits (or demons if you will) can be identified and handled. However it takes spiritual wisdom and experience to be able to do so.For example, you, who is lacking in spirit, based on the fact that you have to ask this question, see an enraged person and think, that's an enraged person, but a wise man sees an enraged person and thinks that he's animated by the spirit of anger which transcends the person itself and also knows how to communicate with it.
>>18012321Are evil spirits really just psychological parasites? Kinda like personified Jungian archetypes?
>>18012348Jung very likely touched on these kinds of topics as he was keen on joining or redefining religious ideas in psychological terms.There's a spectrum of how you want to define it. Some believe in full-fledged physical beings that harm and taunt us, some think they are other-dimensional but existing beings that influence us, others believe they are personifications of human emotion, others believe they're primal archetypes that manifest in the mind under a set of circumstances and others believe it's just the brain getting its signals confused.If you ask me I think they're all right except maybe the physical guys.
>>18012358>>18012348Jung's theories are heretical. Recant.
>>18012315Not an atheist, but no it doesn't. You're lying.>>18012309>It is a practice in many religions like Christianity, Islam,At least in these two religions, it's a retarded practice.
>>18012309it's not a practice in those religions. it is a misinterpretation of those religions by people who claims to be religious without being really religious
>>18012381Silence, monkey
>>18012309Islam does exorcism? I read it was pretty consistent that you just ignore demons. Imams don't do exorcisms.
