The Opinion Review

You believe in devil possession ?

I sat around yesterday morning and watched the Exorcism of Emily Rose…That was some spooky halloweend stuff. You dig? The fact that the movie is based on a true story makes it even more scary. It has to be one of the spookiest movies I have ever seen.

So the deep question here is was the girl actually possessed by some kind of evil force (devils) or was she simply mentally ill? Did that priest actually prevent her from getting the medical help that she needed? The meds she was taking obviously were not working. Of course psyche meds are another topic I could easily review.

I remember the Exorcist movie with Linda Blair back in the day… I saw it with my parents at the drive in.. Fortunately I fell asleep. But that was one scary movie too. It’s said that people were “fainting” and vomiting in theaters from a total freak out! Wow.

But Emily is much more real. And brings up lots of spiritual questions for the viewer. For somebody to watch that and not consider something being “out there” is a bit closed minded. There seems to be unseen powers in this universe that can’t be explained by science.

Check it this Halloween season and then discuss God, and the devil. Athiest’s welcome…
