Exorcisms

[judgesmails]

I saw an ad for new movie about an exorcism. Now I don't believe in god, the devil, demons, or spirits. But this movie looked pretty scary. Now I realize this ad is just about a movie, but I do have an aunt who is a Catholic nun and she has been a part of these things - for real.

Anyway, I am sure the people "performing" the exorcism believe that their subject is "posessed" by something mean and nasty. But what is really wrong with these people? And why are they presumably "cured" by an exorcism?

Are they just nuts and are somehow comforted by all the attention?
