WOTMQ: RMPS Demons Epilogue
I could have done four more videos on just the harm "demon possession" has done over the centuries and millennia. Still might. But I thought it important to take a quick minute or four to talk about this stupid idea in light of modern medicine and what we've been discovering about the "possessed."
These are the things which most anger me when it comes to religion — how ignorance has been embraced at the expense of actual knowledge. It goes all the way back to the destruction of ancient texts and libraries when Christianity was taking over the Roman Empire. We have been set back, Hitch knows how many centuries (millennia?), in terms of our acquisition, as a species, of knowledge. But some of that ignorance, especially today, is simply willful. And that's probably the worst part of Cameron's video.
Thanks again. And sorry to end this series on such a somber note. This stuff just isn't funny. B

Aloha! I appreciate your presentations! Your videos are always insightful & entertaining. Individuals with MPD/DID do indeed have ar least 2 distinct personalities. Upon reviewing the medical literature i was unable to find citations for change in eye color & medical problems for different personalities. Would you please direct me to such sites? Mahalo
I second this request - would like to see some reputable source documentation for physical changes during mental shifts. Is there documented proof that eye color in humans can shift? And diabetes just being turned on and off by personality shifts? I find this very difficult to believe. Sources please, Brian?
Damn right there's pernicious history behind it. Charles II of Spain was nicknamed "El Hechizado" (bewitched, cursed, possessed), simply because he would have seizures —and was probably epileptic. Little did they know back then (and still don't among evangenitals nowadays?) that this can happen when cousins keep marrying cousins for several generations.
Hahahahahahahaha!!!!
