Ever hear of an atheist needing an exorcism? (Kind of creepy-cool picture.)

1. atheists have no sin

2. There exists at least one alleged atheist

here on du who has asserted that demonic possession is a real thing and that exorcism is an appropriate treatment. Of course the motivation for this profoundly theistic view is likely an attitude derived from Monty Python's ministry of arguments.

3. Sorry, I don't buy it.

I don't buy that this person of which you speak is an atheist. No god, no demons, no superstition....that is what any honorable atheist will believe. With no demons, there can be no demonic possession.

So, did I step on some toes? Didn't mean to, but couldn't help it.

4. Oh I agree, the "atheist" part is a pose. The ridiculous arguments are however

just that, deliberately oppositional for no reason other than to be oppositional.

5. Based on a true story

Oh man, you should read the real "true" story "The Exorcist" is based (very loosely) on.
