Individual,

You said "For crying out loud, this is 2014, can't some of you mutts discard this nonsense & superstition ? Religion is crap. I don't have a problem with the superstition as such but keep to yourself, don't annoy the crap out of us with this nonsense."

In light of the above could you give, or give a reference to, a scientific refutation of the miracles claimed to have occurred at Lourdes?

'Now, that is all very well for their own private hospitals of course, because anyone going there knows they won't be able to receive those 'sinful' procedures there. '

actually Susie a heartless murder of the unborn defines abortion more accuratley. Let the industry have their own little dirty slaughter house of shame.

MIRACLE%=ANGEL%?
$lICKNE$$=DEMON$..&..de*Mon$

The abrupt transition from established science to outlandish woo is positively comical. And once the quackery starts, it doesn't stop. You're first treated to a background on all things demonic (boldness added to emphasize the absurdity):

In our region, demons are believed to be intelligent and unseen creatures that occupy a parallel world to that of mankind. In many aspects of their world, they are very similar to us. They marry, have children, and die. The life span, however, is far greater than ours (Ashour 1989).

Through their powers of flying and invisibility, they are the chief component in occult activities. The ability to possess and take over the minds and bodies of humans is also a power which the demons have utilized greatly over the centuries (Littlewood 2004; Gadit and Callanan 2006; Ally and Laher 2008).

Most scholars accept that demons can possess people and can take up physical space within a human’s body (Asch 1985). They possess people for many reasons. Sometimes it is because they have been hurt accidentally, but possession may also occur because of love (Ashour 1989; Philips 1997). When the demon enters the human body, they settle in the control center of the body–brain.

Once the groundwork for demons is laid, Irmak expounds on the link between schizophrenia and possession:

There exist similarities between the clinical symptoms of schizophrenia and demonic possession. Common symptoms in schizophrenia and demonic possession such as hallucinations and delusions may be a result of the fact that demons in the vicinity of the brain may form the symptoms of schizophrenia... The hallucination in schizophrenia may therefore be an illusion—a false interpretation of a real sensory image formed by demons... On the other hand, auditory hallucinations expressed as voices arguing with one another and talking to the patient in the third person may be a result of the presence of more than one demon in the body.

is the radical, extreme, religious personality cult of the prophet Karl Marx, with his Lord & master Lucifer, really a religion? not politics at all, but loony, left-wing theology?

has anybody studied the Psychology literature to see if it ticks all the "symptom list" boxes for psychopaths, sociopaths & radical, extreme, religious cults?

has anybody read the book "United in Hate" ?
