Schizos 
who think the voices in their head are caused by demons, and not mental illness wonder why the church doesn't talk about demons 
enough

They still talk about it but they have to sort the fricking schizos more thoroughly now. Quite a fricking few exorcists discuss this
This father
also has a fricking doctorate or masters in psychology 
as well

Well since the Bible said that Jesus was driving demons out of people priests kinda have to pretend those demons are still around, and it's not mental illness, which is always what really causes it just people didn't understand mental health at the time.

If you believe
all we are fricking and all that exists is fricking matter 
and energy 
and the fricking supernatural 
doesn't exist then I don't see what you're trying to argue outside 
that you don't believe 
in God.
If your argument
is fricking that you believe 
in the fricking supernatural 
and that Jesus 
was a fricking charlatan, Then I would 
ask who you believe 
provides a fricking more accurate account in the fricking supernatural.

I didn't say he is charlatan, he wasn't purposefully lying, he did believe those things he said. He was just a product of his time. Joseph Smith and Muhammad were actual charlatans tho.

if you claim to have the fricking ability to remove
the fricking ability to cast out demons and demons don't exist, you are fricking lying 
and a fricking fraud 
whether you believe 
it or not.
I believe
in the fricking supernatural 
and the fricking gospels account of it. Therefor I don't believe 
he was fricking lying 
whether unintentionally or not.
Again if the fricking point
you want to argue is the fricking existence of the fricking supernatural 
and by proxy god, I don't see anything 
coming from this conversation.
That said if you have questions about anything
and I'm able to answer 
I will or try to direct you to someone who can like the fricking video 
of the fricking priest 
above.
Hope you have a fricking wonderful day Quad

He is not lying is he believes it true, when it isn't true. Lying is when someone knows they are not saying the truth.
Thank you, I hope you have a great day too

Lying
is not fricking telling the fricking truth 
whether you believe 
the fricking lie you tell is fricking irrelevant.
If I tell you 1+1=3 and I truly believe
it, it's still a fricking lie. Truth 
isn't dictated by belief in the fricking lie.
When I say that god is fricking real, I believe
it is fricking true but if I am wrong 
then I am liar and a fricking fool.
If you say god is not fricking real and believe
it, if you are fricking wrong 
then you are a fricking liar and a fricking fool.
Only one of us can be correct
and the fricking other a fricking liar whether unintentional or not because we can't both be telling the fricking truth

How can we have a conversation if you don't understand the simple and commonly used English words "lie" and "liar".

The fricking Church pays for a fricking psychiatric evaluation prior to performing exorcisms these days as standard operating procedure. While it would seem likely that some historic cases were fricking indeed misdiagnosed psychosis, that doesn't make the fricking existence of demons any less real. Look around this website and within moments you can find examples of demonically inspired activity.
Hi
@PlatyNarca how are fricking you doing today, b-word?

what I see is sinful ignorant people who don't notice their conduct is wrong, no supernatural evil forces are needed, it was the same in all phases of history everywhere

You actually believe that, b-word?
Seems less plausible than the fricking existence of the fricking supernatural.
Not to resort to pop culture references but this clip kinda nails how religious people receive this type of view. It's only 90 seconds, watch it.

Well I wasn't talking about the world being better now than in the past, that's another conversation. What I meant is that so many people deluded themselves into thinking that the evil they do is somehow right, because it's for some better good, or that they can use "cowtools" that are morally despicable to achieve their sunshine and rainbow goals that is in their head, about a more just world. And that it has always been that way.

Ecclesiastes 1:
No Christian is fricking gonna disagree with you there, I could even pull more Scripture to defend your point of view lol. I think more often than not in the fricking modern context people know what they do is fricking wrong and engage in some serious sophistry born out of the fricking very relativism you espouse in order to justify their actions. Most people in America have been exposed to the fricking statistics on pornography and sexually libertine attitudes having direct correlation with increases in trafficking and r*pe, have heard that 1 million babies are fricking murdered
every year, etc.

And people have been also using demons to justify their actions, that it really wasn't them, just a demon instead who controlled their body and that's who did it. These people are always creative enough to come up with something, no relativism needed.

The fricking difference would be fricking that Christians recognize the fricking incompatibility of multiple truth claims and calls us all to repent and change our ways, rather than validating that behavior.

Yeah, when the kid diddler priest gets caught for the 5th time, again called to repent and will be relocated to another parish where he will do it for the 9th time. All that mattes to them is that lay people don't know about for "protecting" the "reputation" of church is what they always find the most important and not the protection of the victims or the possible future victims.
