[Belief in spirit possession is almost extinct]
Try telling that to somebody who has been possessed. I was once possessed by a demon or demons....I know it happens. Why do you think they still call alcohol "Spirits?" It leads to demon possession, that is why. The only thing that can save you from this is to be saved by God through Jesus Christ....I know, because this is how I was saved from it.

One for the Fundie Word/History Redefinition project?
...and a town not far from here is called, 'Devil's Lake' , is that the famed 'Lake of Fire' that the bible talks about, or is it JUST A FUCKING NAME?
Belief in spirits is NOT the same thing as spirits actually existing. My nephew believes in Santa Claus, yet there is no evidence to support that claim. Of course, he's 8, and one day reality will show him otherwise, OR he'll be locked away for having delusions.
Or maybe words can have more than one definition, such as:
Spirits: 20. Chemistry. the essence or active principle of a substance as extracted in liquid form, esp. by distillation.
Funny how the English language works, isn't it? Alcohol can make you do stupid things, but it has nothing to do with the supernatural. But hey, if your belief in the Holy Zombie keeps you from being an alcoholic, I guess that's a positive thing.
Dear em,
I am happy to hear that you have gotten past your addiction to alcohol but am saddened to see that you suffered irreparable brain damage before seeking help. Oh, well. Life's a bitch and then you die.
No, you were just drunk, made a fool of yourself, and aren't a decent enough person to take responsibility for it so you're blaming fictitious demons.

It hasn't occurred to you that English is not the only language in the world, has it?
The problem is that there are not current cases of "demon possesion". They´re called squizofrenia, epilepsy.........etc....and we don´t need to speculate. Second, a medieval belief over alcohol means nothing. We could explain to you why it happens and find solutions for that.

Once and for all, what the hell does this even mean ? And why do immortal deities need offspring, perhaps for the same reason they pull universes out of their supernatural asses?
...through Jesus Christ....I know, because this is how I was saved from it.
Dubya, is that you?
If Jesus makes you immune to alcohol, how come, when I was a fundie, I'd still get drunk and do stupid things? Now that I'm an atheist, I control my alcohol intake and don't do stupid things any more.
Weird, huh?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
