An evangelical pastor in Arizona has taken his exorcism business to the Internet.
Reverend Bob Larson told KNXV that he has performed over 20,000 exorcisms over the past 20 year. And thanks to the Skype video chat software, he can now offer the service to people all over the world for just $295 for a 60-minute session, according to The Huffington Post.
U.S. residents can even deduct the donation to Larsons International Missions Program from their taxes.
In simple terms, an exorcism is the process of expelling an evil spirit from an individual who has become somehow invaded and demonized by that being, and sending it back to hell and freeing the person, the reverend explained to KNXV.

Stupidity, gullibility, and delusional thoughts need to be exorcised.
Only knowledge, truth, and facts can fight this brainwashing and indoctrination.
P.S. $295 for each 60 minute session.
If this "Reverend" is so concerned with eradicating demons, he should be performing this service for free.
Isn't performing exorcisms in his "job" description ????
