35. Do you understand anything about mental illness
Schizophrenia, multiple personality disorder, psychosis, sociopathy etc? May I remind you that the paranoid schizophrenic who was the VT shooter was taken to church to "exocise his demons". Didn't do much good did it.
Treating mental illness as a demonic posession goes straight back to the dark ages when things like the plague were also considered demonic posessions and witchcraft. Would you like to explain away germ theory as demonic posession as well. Because the basics of mental illness are actually well understood and observed.
