Demonic Possession

Today i went to watch the horror movie The Rite, which is another exorcist kind of movie. It's more of a drama kind of movie rather than scaring off the audiences because if you want scary, you will still watch The Exorcist (the one with Linda Blair). I would say it's a good movie but not a scary one. Anthony Hopkins is soo fit for his age and a good actor.

But that's the problem with Demonic Possession/Exorcism movies, they all have something in COMMON. A priest that had lost his faith and eventually gets it back after seeing the devil in action. So it can be said that The Rite is another typical exorcism movie but with a good storyline. But my friend says it's boring, hehehe.

So why do devils possessed human beings? For fun? To give job opportunity to exorcists?

Once a thought crossed my mind whereby i was thinking, if you wanna know which religion is the truest, why not all the exorcists from every religion perform an exorcism to chase away the demon? Of course if your religion is "real", the devil will be truly afraid of the exorcism rituals.

However, if it's the devil's job to lead the humans to the wrong path, then he will just PRETEND to be afraid in every religion exorcism rituals. That way, humans will still be in confusion and as long as the exorcism works, humans will believe God is real and the religion is true.

Do i believe in demonic possession? Sometimes i do believe it could be just a mental illness or something.

What about the body of the possessed that can contort in weird angles? Have you heard of the "Rubber Man"? Rubber man is a person who's body (more like his limbs) is very very elastic. He can turn his arm like what, 360 degrees? Obviously he can't do that with his head. I've seen a few people who can do this on tv.

People always find it easy to give excuses like "The Devil talked to me", "The Devil told me to..." to cover their wrong doings or to stop people from thinking they are insane and instead they are being possessed.

Insane or demonic possession, only God knows because they seem to share something in common.
