Welcome back to the middle ages folks
Apart from bush and his fundy pals who, to me, represent nothing more than colossal ignorance (no offense to those who are fundamentalists here - merely a private opinion)i read in the latimes.com yesterday about the increase of exorcisms in the world! The demand is beginning to skyrocket and there is an exorcist in italy who does about 5 a day!!!!
Can you believe this superstitious nonsense????
Torquemada where are you when we need you?

4. I bet they are cheaper than a psychiatrist...With all the mumbo-
jumbo that you see in the TV programs, are you surprised?
Americans believe in so much junk because they receive no proper education in science,history, literature, etc. etc.

5. The notion of exorcisms doesn't bug me
nearly as much as our political trip back into the past. Yes, our leadership has definitely taken us back to the Middle Ages. An eye for an eye, and all that.

6. Ever had a fundy try to exorcize you?
I have. And it does "bug me." Actually, it disturbs me greatly.
