You inist that demonic psosession is fake, yet this man bit off the head of a chicken. Tell me RIGHT NOW how any sane person would do this.

Well there is the whole side show geek style thing
My grandad owned a travelling carnival in the '20s and '30s. Every place they went
to set up the tents people came to line up for temporary work. They never had trouble
getting a local boy for the geek. As such, most of the locals knew who he was and they still
paid a dime to see him bite the head off a chicken. Sometimes when they hit the same place
later the same guy would show up to be "The Wild Man from Borneo" again. I wonder if he
got to keep the chickens. This was during the depression. Probably what he was
paid in was dead chickens, I should have asked.
A man with no other talents to offer, and who was accustomed to do it to impress his low-life friends, and who found he could win a few bets or actually make a living at it...well, yes. Full disclosure: dad tells me he had an uncle who would bite the head off rats to win bar bets. Moreover, though he was (in)famous in their town, dad was nearly an adult before he found out that "that man" was his uncle; nobody in the family would speak to him or about him.
Ozzy may have been a bit odd....

....but I doubt he had what "Regan McNeil" had.
Also; People in the old-time Side Shows made a whole act out of that sort of thing. No devils necessary. Just a really weird person.
This passage has two flaws:
1. The person could very well be sane and bit the head off of the chicken for a sane reason, such as money.
2. Even if he is not sane it does not then follow that he is demonically possessed.
"Tell me RIGHT NOW how any sane person would do this"
Well, for a significant period in my life, if someone had said 'I dare you to' or 'you don't have the balls to'
or if it was two days before payday: 'Would you bite the head off a chicken for $5...?'
OH, WON'T SOMEBODY PLEASE, PLEASE THINK OF THE CHICKENS!
[Ahem!]

"Tell me RIGHT NOW how any sane person would do this."
They, uh, do know that people can be insane, right?
Confused?
