I once was possessed by the spirit of Elvis. They had to call in a priest from Las Vegas. When he arrived, he was wearing a rhinestone studded jumpsuit and a cheap black wig with sideburns. He opened up what looked to be a guitar case. The priest pulled out a fried banana sandwich and he began hitting me with it and yelling "RETURN TO SENDER! RETURN TO SENDER!" I started howling like a hound dog but it sounded like strange music; like some kind of unchained melody. It was if I was the Devil in disguise. I then began writhing and convulsing. I was all shook up. This went on for about an hour until, finally, Elvis leaped out of my body. It knocked my blue suede shoes right off my feet. It was over. The priest was finally able to declare that Elvis had left building. But then he did something odd. He leaned over and whispered in my ear, "love me tender." I replied, NO! I'm an adult.
WHY DOESN'T THIS COMMENT HAVE MORE LIKES?!
@@kellywalker1664 Give it time. This video has been up for only a couple hours. (By the way, I'm sure Elvis ARON Presley would approve.)
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

"If you ever come to the conclusion that someone needs an exorcism, then you're the one with the psychological problem." That quote right there is it in a nutshell *edit for your to you're to satisfy the people with too much time on their hands
:D
Nailed it
*you're
Well since a lot of people who make that kind of judgement are related to the victim, and certain mental health issues have a genetic component it is entirely possible that both individuals have a psychological problem.
Exorcism can be fine as a psychological opium
They say when one person talks to themselves we call that person delusional but when millions of people do it. We call that a religion.
Don't forget, when a hundred do it, we call it a cult.
"folie a deux" just applied to lots
When a man says his dog told him to kill someone, we call him crazy.
When a man says his God told him to kill someone, we call him Pastor.
If that dont try ARCHAIX
And the trouble a creative writer has is to resit the temptation of rewriting the entire concept of a 'god', 'faith and 'religion'. Something along the lines of a god who denies she is a god, faith into something where a person would entirely reject anything without proof - after all all good religions do need their sacraments - and finally religion, into something driving to test, to research and rethink if necessary. All thus taught by the teacher, the mother of knowledge and understanding, who as said, denied her own godhood.
That sort of a crazy deal. Better yet if set a 'non-deity' was by the lore a rebel daughter of one of those existing, questionable gods. The trouble being that it might just be very dangerous a book, and some fool would take it seriously - instead of realizing the whole humoristic idea behind it all.
Obviously science is no religion - nor will the fact that an atheist does not believe in gods, that can't be proven, make him or her a devotee or follower even of a goddess, who would be as described above - sort of honestly not a god - even if named Devina - which means 'god like'. Not even if she claimed all who don't believe in god's as her automatic followers. lol
I just find that this topic would be funny as hell if written in right sort of a way, tongue on the cheek and the leg behind the neck sort of a way. Yet filled with real scientific knowledge and modernly acceptable laws, morality and such like secular humanism - generally what is good for people. Without any care to how possible the goddess side of it could be - after all - that is but a parody on all those holy scriptures were already existing stories about a god or gods are told. A bit of a study book really, in philosophical sense, but in a story form - on the gullibility of humans. Well the point being that this new goddess would be the 'last deity' - 'needed'.
And one might ask, what's the point of the gods then - what explains the whole mess - re-enter the old idea about them playing a sort of a game between each other. Points gained by numbers of followers. Except that the only way to win, perhaps even unknowing to them - by refusing to play the game entirely. You see, collecting followers does not mean they need to reply prayers, help or anything of the kind - even if they can try various strategies. And after all, one of the best ways to do so is obviously allowing humans to fool them selves into believing - after all, that is the strongest sort of belief, most non-sensible and hardest to deconstruct.
And still, there are people in this world who might just be like 'oh that makes all totally sense - the perfect religion for me'! Some even, if fully aware it was just some fun bit of fantasy for the author to chuckle along while writhing the whole verbal monster - designed to twist and turn the concepts.
OMG, Aron is just relentless and ruthless in dismantling this priest's bullsh*t... f*cking loved it!
Love it too!

any charlatan performing an exorcism these days should be charged as a fraud and jailed, especially if they actually hurt the victim.
@YTCensors agreed, grifters all, and dangerous
They don't though. They do their thing in the states. They grift pretty successfully in some cases.
They are probably going to be charged as ill and would be sent to the psychiatric hospital
They do it quite often in Africa so, start there.
@@conthegreatgrapeape With active support from the government as they don’t have to pay taxes.
I will never forget how much I suffered in Catholic Convent School. The brainwashing was vicious and continuous and I was always chastised for "asking too many questions." I thank AronRa for all his videos which put the final nails into the Coffin of Religion, which I despise with all my heart now.
Like when I am in the religion lesson in school I ask.

You make it sound like an average public school.
You should watch Irish comedian Dave Allen’s story about his first day in school.
I worked as night security at a senior care home, for about a year. The nurses seen ghost all the time. I can remember almost a dozen times some Mexican lady running down the hall screaming. I worked those same halls went in same rooms. Never once did I see a ghost. I could hear pumps, oxygen machines and electrical balests and TVs. I seen lights flicker, and reflections off of glass and metal cabinets. But never a ghost, what you believe in your mind will fill in gaps.

Don't be embarrassed about your past. Without it you wouldn't be the person you are now. Thank you for being who you are now and who you were in the past.
I have this very vague memory of hearing about AronRa back in the 80s, when he was a neopagan and I was dabbling a bit in that pond, too.
This is an important point. It gets a lot less embarrassing when you realize you weren't the only one!
Many of us were raised Christian of some sort and searched through various denominations and religions for something believable; paganism was a temporary refuge, a safe place, before admitting our atheism.

@joeandersen274 So there is no justice in Christianity, it doesn't matter what you do right or wrong, all that matters is whether or not you "believe". Whether or not you're "forgiven". I like most non-Abrahamic religions better. But Judaism makes more sense - the original version - you're alive so long as you have the breath of life, when it's gone you're gone, dust to dust. Maybe we have some continuance, some justice, but not from Christianity or Islam. Probably just here and now; this is enough if you don't throw it away for some thing different.
I met Linda Blair years ago at a book signing out in California. She’s very active in animal welfare, runs her own shelter of mostly rescue dogs. She’s a total sweetheart in person.
I'm guessing that he went into the priesthood, because he wasn't an effective licensed psychologist. Switched jobs just before the state medical board had enough evidence to pull that license.
Ah, ah, ah..... It also crossed my mind......
It may be as simple as greed, and extremist Christianity is fertile ground for grifters, since challenging them is most unwelcome.
Definitely would be interested in a video about Aron talking about God lying
Start at Genesis 3.
Much like Aron mentioned in this video, that particular subject would encompass the entire bible.
‘God’ is nothing if not a massive bullshitter and deceiver in all that he purports to embody.
@@Cheryl_in_TX True. Well said
@@YTcensors Yeah started with God saying ...in the beginning he created anything
Bigest obstacle would be YT video can be 12 hours max.
God to Eve: Eat the fruit and you'll die
Serpent (not Satan) to Eve: No, you won't die. You'll just understand good and evil.
- Adam and Eve eat the fruit and understand good and evil -
God: See!!! I told you!
Adam and Eve: But, we're not dead like you said we would be! We understand...!
God: Get out!
Demons run when a good man goes to war. (Dr. Who reference!!!!)
And their descendants lived for centuries. Bible Maff hurts my brain.
I said that to my Sunday school teacher at age 8. She got very mad at me, and I didn’t know why. I asked why Satan always seemed to tell the truth in these stories and that making a deal with demons may not seem good, but at least they lay out all the terms and conditions beforehand. At least they are honest businessmen upfront. She was very pissed.
Later on, my favorite anime became Black Butler for this.
@@kellywalker1664
Those are months, not years.
@@zaco-km3su that would make a lot more sense.
Jaws worried me more than the Exorcist but I was agnostic at that age. I later learned of Jedi mind tricks and it all made sense.
This theist psychiatrist recommending an exorcism is Reagans politics and some bullshit contract with merika.
Googles it
Mind readers are real. But it takes years upon years to develop the skill to sense the intent and thoughts of others.
@@LordMalice6d9 why do you believe that?
The whole concept of the exorcism is a classic: convince people they have an imaginary disease, then sell them the imaginary cure.
@@gertjanvandermeij4265 no. You can’t be a serious person… Covid is real, and killed a lot of people. Exorcisms are Iron Age nonsense and superstition. Sorry if you can’t tell the difference.
Much like the whole revolving door of directors that at once comes up with new "psychiatric diseases" along with the cures or management of such diseases pharmaceutical companies come up with, and are approved for such use by the FDA.
"Performing an exorcism is just as easy as playing Cops & Robbers and, just like with any children's game, there's a lot of unnecessary yelling and screaming, acting out and carrying on."
A difference being that the children playing the game learn from it over time, about how to get along with each other and better understand one another. If only the priests playing Exorcists & Demons could do the same.
But those priests would lose all their own power (and wealth) if they no longer have an invisible advesary or super powered invisible friend.
"If you ever come the conclusion someone needs an exorcism then it is you who has the psychological problem"
That says it how it is, I am keeping that quote
I often used to tell churchgoers "satan loves you" in my teens. The fact that I never thought of putting it on a tshirt, I must admit, is a bit embarrassing.
Also: I once got a 7' Burmese python caught in my long hair at a pet store when I was about 13. Considering how society looked towards long haired men in the midst of the satanic panic, that was actually one of the most embarrassing moments of my life. Today I couldn't care less but I was a kid. Don't know why I felt the need to share. Just seen Aron's snake and it triggered a memory and I'm going on very little sleep.
Pretty ironic since all the depictions of Jesus are of a long-haired hippie in sandals.
@@MarkoVukovic0a long haired hippie in sandals talking to snakes lol.
@@JariDawnchild hahahaha yes
Aron Ra, you destroyed it in this video. Thanks for being amazing!
The invisible sky wizard's actions makes hard to make difference between him and Satan.
Well...God never once tells the truth in the entire book...while Satan never once lies. So...
@@DoremiFasolatido1979so a lot of the things he accused Satan of the invisible sky wizard does it. And in the Book of Job with his approval.
Satan is definitely the good guy in the bible.
Satan killed way fewer people than Yahweh, so there's that.
Honestly that is what made me a full on atheist. I was basically a cultural Christian who just assumed all this crap I heard until I actually read the infernal book. It was a wake up call to the evil of Christianity.
I'm glad u covered this issue in religion. It's cool to see skepticism used against Satan talk from an exorcism enthusiast
If forced to take a side in the bible, I always lean toward satan. He’s a much better humanitarian in the grand fantastical scheme. 😂
@@Cheryl_in_TX Right. If Satan were real he would be more like a hero than other Bible characters. Standing against tyranny and egotistical oppression against the odds. Also trying to help humans to see the same. But the story is just myth luckily

Thank you for this video, Aron. Religion needs to be called out for its dishonesty, and the harm it does to the human race.
And so do politics, but here we are.
Redditors need to find their way back to reddit
Religion has had a small effect on humanity when compared to the horrors of socialism.
@@AverageAlien You should do stand-up. I haven't laughed that much in a while. Just broadly speaking, Socialism as a concept has only been around for two hundred years, so let us just assume you are right, and socialism *is* the root of all evil. Even with this in mind, Religion would still have hundreds of centuries through which it has tortured, raped, murdered, traumatized, abused, and brainwashed not millions, but BILLIONS of people.
Now, to get back to what you were saying, what exactly are the "horrors" of socialism? You are telling me that the freeing of the proliteriat and the abolishment of a societal hierarchy is a "bad" thing? That for us to be bound by monopolies and for us to be forced to buy human necessities is an inherent good thing?
You do realize nearly every authoritarian dictator was religious in some way? Hitler was a christian, Mao and Stalin both were extremely spiritual. Religion taints politics and leads to things such as fascism. Read a book, and no, not the bible.
@@memesarekeem socialism as a concept has been around since the beginning of human civilisation. Unless you want to deny the existence of states, governments, city states, whatever collectives you can think of.
Socialism is PRO hierarchy, hierarchies can only exist thanks to socialism and the state. Socialism has nothing to do with "the workers." That's Marxism, one VARIANT of socialism. Socialism creates monopolies. Corporations are socialist entities. Socialism is root cause of all evil. Religion would have NO power without socialism. The only reason religion could ever even be a problem is thanks to socialism. Socialism ITSELF is a religion. Capitalism is the objective truth, capitalism is atheism, socialism is a deadly cult.
It's ridiculous that exorcism is still a thing in so called "civilised" countries.
I watched the movie The Exorcism of Emily Rose, I thought it was a reasonable horror film/courtroom drama. Then I learned it was based on a true story and watched it again. It took on a level of true horror.
Now it was the story of a young woman desperately in need of medical help who was killed by ridiculous supernatural beliefs.
These people are dangerous but apparently you can get away with anything if you say "Jesus."
With all due respect, I wouldn't call the USA civilised just yet. With the amount of people killing each other with guns just because they feel the need to makes the USA uncivilised compared to other modern countries.
"Hey, that's my car! What are you doing?!", priest replies "Jesus " and drives away. Yup that tracks lol
I tried explaining how it was just mental illness and the parents/priest killed that girl and people were freaking out. They kept asking what about this or what about that and when I explain it they deny it immediately. They don't want to accept the facts, they want to live in their fantasy
I had a friend that developed religious mania. He was fasting himself to death, and beginning to get delusions from god that it was okay to shoplift some food. He was caught and eventually got the some help he needed. He was one of my really intelligent friends, that is what made it so unbelievable.
Mental illness can affect anyone, sadly, regardless of intelligence. I’m glad he’s doing better.
I always found Helter Skelter to be scarier than The Exorcist even as a kid. I knew Charles Manson was real, and that other people like him exist.
Same here.

Aron you're very eloquent and your delivery is biting without being overly incredulous. I love how you succinctly bring history lessons into your critiques. I always learn something and am entertained.
Oh, watching new Aron Ra videos 2 minutes after they debut is TIGHT!
That’s what she said
Wow wow wow.... Wow.
@@andythomas4998 that is also what she said
My favorite part of the video was when Aron did a backflip, snapped the bad guy's neck, and saved the day.
Really helped drive home his point.
@@BaronVonQuiply and it was super easy...
The man who states he is a psychologist is INSANE and should be banned from claiming to be anything other than the actual one in need of psychological or perhaps psychiatric help
Well, I don't know about "Satan Loves You" shirts, but The Click just finished a sale for his emotional support demon (plushie).
And it's absolutely freaking adorable!
A street preacher came to my university, was talking to a camera and a duck puppet. The other students were mocking him with gay flags, but for some reason he saw me and my wedding band and grabbed me by my left hand. He asked “why are you here in this institution when you should be home serving your husband?” He wouldn’t let go, holding my arm high in the air. He was strong, and my feet were almost above the ground. I asked him what a delusion was and what the definition of assault was-because he was partaking in both. He told me I was partaking in sin and must be punished. I told him he had until the count of 3 to let go or he’d end up in the hospital, but luckily I didn’t even need to start counting.
The campus policeman watching the whole thing did nothing. The other students mobbing him were who got me out of the situation. He started yelling about how Jesus loves us enough to send us to hell for “cleansing”. He started yelling at me through his megaphone that women are meant to be silent and to obey their husband, and I asked him “and you sure as hell aren’t him, so shut up.” And walked to class.
My husband and I are both atheists.
You shut his BS *down.*
I hope you pressed charges and made a complaint against the campus police.
@@MarkoVukovic0That will only work if the deluded guy was black
@@gasun1274or the victim
A (LW) fundie friend of mine once took me to see a Bob Larson “exorcism”. It was hilarious, though I had to repress my laughter throughout, which was tough. Haha!
It was run exactly like a Pentacostal church sermon: He began by whipping up the crowd (ALL fundies), lots of “Can I get an Amen?!”, and at one point, even chastised someone in the audience for talking back about how “tattoos are portals for demons” is in the Bible.
The woman he finally got around to “exorcise” was a SUPER obvious plant and a horrible actor.
The REAL problem here is that America just doesn’t have a positive or honest medical system OR general attitude about mental health problems, not when it comes to violent lunatics who go postal OR depressed folks who can’t cope with adulting, nevermind anyone convinced they're "possessed".
This is the result: Millions of fundies who think demons are real and “The Exorcist” was a documentary. (Good job, Friedkin!)
So glad to have found this channel. How is that we non religious folk aren't scared of demons or devils. 🤔 😂
“Keep your crucifixes to yourself” hahaha Excellent episode, Aron!
Werewolf. Totally.
But to the topic at hand - I once had to visit a hospital ER. I won't get into the diagnosis, but I was in the worst pain of my life. I was beyond giving a shit about keeping quiet and was rocking back and forth in my chair, groaning rather loudly. Now this was in the deep south, so someone, I believe this was someone working for the hospital, strode toward me, took my head in their hands, (without permission) and prayed for Jesus to heal me. This of course he did not do. When I failed to show any reaction, she gripped my head painfully tight and repeated the prayer, louder this time.
The message was clear. Either I could find it within myself to fake feeling better, or she would rip my head off. I had bigger problems than getting into a religious argument in an ER waiting room, and didn't think I could press a case for assault. So I clenched my teeth and bit back the pain, going quiet for a few moments. This was enough to get her the fuck away from me, and an hour or so later I finally got the care I needed.
You do realize that you could've had her put on a 72 hour hold at a psych ward for that don't you.
@@Hekaterian In the deep south, I think she'd have had better luck pressing the assault charge.
I don't live in the south, but someone told my family member at a hospital cardiac clinic, getting ready for a cardio stress test, to take off his mask and trust Jesus to protect him from Covid. He reported it to the hospital risk management team.
Brilliant! As excoriations go, this will rank amongst the best. Just love those "subtle" digs delivered with deadpan effectiveness.
Great comment! Totally agree with you........
This is the type of great content that makes me glad I'm a patron.
💗💖💓Well said, Aron. I’m also a former Neopagan and former Xtian Born Again, now atheist. You are 💯 right.
I talk to demons sometimes, too. Then I roll a d20 and add my persuasion modifier to try to get them to do what I want.
I fight demons, using my paladin spells
Nice touch with the hieronymus bosch paintings. And also--your snake was adorable!
Happy new year, AronRa! I always appreciate your videos and all the work you do; it’s having a positive impact on society.
Aron, more like this please! You are a savage 🤣
Too often this kind of nonsense isn't treated with the derision it deserves.
Even if demons existed, what's the appeal of wearing some meat sack, only to get sent back to hell by some priest?
I am possessed by the demonic cookie monster. In the dark of night it makes me rise out of my bed and go to the kitchen. There it forces me to commit the foul act of munching on delicious forbidden cookies and drinking am evil cup of hot milk…. Last night it happened again. Will I ever be safe of this terrible, delicious demon?
AronRa I have been following your work for a long time. I was under the Seventh Day Adventists when I was younger looking for truth. But yet I was cast out when I asked to many logical questions. I want to say thank you for your work. I feel less alone. Stay awesome always.
I love the comparison of God to Trump! It's a perfect fit except Trump actually exists. Oh and Trump isn't all powerful.

I saw the Exorcist in the 1970s. I was born in the same decade and very small. It gave me a month's worth of nightmares.
What was worse, the exorcist or Texas chainsaw massacre?
@@teve90 I never saw that one. I did watch several Halloween, Friday the 13th, and almost all of the Nightmare on Elm Street series of movies, and The Exorcist scared me more than any of them. But it was my first exposure to Horror, so that's probably why.
I have to admit that The Exorcist scared the shit out of me when I saw it as a teenager. It wasn't scary while viewing the movie but after dwelling on it and when I was home alone...
*grins* That was cute with the white snake. A good touch. And your talk was very interesting. I saw the film "The Exorcist" when I was a teenager, with a friend of mine, we both thought it quite funny... not so much the film although parts were; but the audience's reaction... a number of people got up and left when it got to the exorcism part.

@brandonletzco1433
I think H was uncertain.
The whole idea of the Evil Satan never made much sense to me. A being who messed up all creation, and the supposedly all-powerful God just sat back and let it happen. This Satan rebelled against God (as the story goes), yet turns around and does God's bidding by operating Hell for God's rejects. This rebellious being tortures people for God, which seems more like being on God's payroll. If Satan really was on the other team, he'd welcome God's rejects and throw a festive party and make Hell quite pleasurable just to give God the finger.
I just gotta say I'm loving the gothic background in the video. 💀🤘
You make an interesting point. People don't understand their beliefs or where they actually come from. In Judaism and some Occult practices "Satan" is actually the angel Sammael and Sammael is a loyal servant of God. He's just as evil as the supposed Lucifer but is on God's payroll and does all of God's dirty work for him. He is also the angel of death and is known as "the tester". He torments people to test their loyalty to God, just like in the Job story And his wife is Lilith who was actually the first woman, not Eve.Lilith supposedly fled the garden of Eden because she didn't want to have sexual relations with Adam and chose to copulate with demons instead.... Lucifer as a rebellious fallen angel is a later myth that originated with Christianity. Lucifer isn't even a Hebrew name it is a Latin one. That alone should tell you something.
I mean. From what I know Satan hates people so it would not make sense for him to allow them to party
@@Hekaterianbut Lilith is not in the Bible. She comes from a semitic folklore

As an ex christian i thank you for this video. Everything i have wanted to say for a very long time. I was born into the church. Woke up 4 years ago im 40 now. when i quit drinking booze and i had a shift of consciousness. Had been seeing the holes in christianity since childhood. I made dive deeper and studied my way out. When i was told about this channel originally from a friend about 2 years ago I wasn't ready. I was passing through judaism on my way out of religion completely. But here i am now. Still battling some RTS. But Embracing this lol. It seems something is deep and mysterious about the mind and consciousness. If god exists, its just our own mind. We all want answers to the unaswerable. Is science pointing towards metaphysics and the quantum level and understanding that more? Where does our energy come from? I digress. One thing for sure the church has no answers to real life. The bible is about astrology and the zodiac. Its is deeply philosophical. Describing human anatomy and the things of the physical world in a very symbolic way. Im getting into astrology now. The bible says god is light. Light comes from the sun moon planets stars... light is a form of energy. God is energy. What were the ancients telling us? Look up bill donahue. Thank for this video aron.
Love the cameo by the albino snake.
I find that a +3 sword and a role of a natural 20 works well on demons.
I was raised Catholic, the fear of demons and evil entities was the hardest thing to shake. They ingrain it so deeply into your mind that even after I stopped believing in god it took years for the fear of satan to fall away. It was so deeply set in my mind that any time I moved to a new place I would go around the house sprinkling "holy water" on all the doors and windows to keep the demons out... No wonder my kids are messed up.

10:50 If this preacher is a licenced psychologist, his licence should be *IMMEDIATELY AND PERMANENTLY REVOKED!*
Yep, and imagine the harm this fake "psychologist" could do to a gay teen struggling with religious indoctrination and homophobia as parents often send their gay children to the local priest or minister for "counselling."
@@Hekaterian To a *homosexual* teenager, you mean? I only use the word "gay" in its *CORRECT* meaning, being "cheerful, happy, elated". The opposite meaning being "morose" which means "miserable, sad, dejected".
@@neilforbes416 What are you on? i hope you're joking, in which case it's a good one. If not, well. Language evolves. Gay now means homosexual too.
@@michaelam9738 The word "Gay" was *NEVER* coined to refer to homosexuality, bisexuality or transsexuality. The word was *hijacked* by the Homo/Bi/Transsexual community and *perverted* to refer to their little *clique.* Words, once coined, have a set meaning and only change if *perverted* by a community that wants to twist the meaning of the word. It's well past time we *STOPPED* pussyfooting around the Homo/Bi/Transsexual community lest we "hurt their delicate sensibilities" and started calling them exactly what they are, the "Homo/Bi/Transsexual community" and *RECLAIM* the words "gay", "straight" and "Lesbian" to their *ORIGINAL* meanings:
"Gay" - happy, cheerful, elated.
"Straight" - a)without curves, angles or bends.
"Straight" - b)honest, sincere, genuine.
"Lesbian" - a native of the Greek island of Lesbos(male or female, Homo/Bi/ Transsexual or heterosexual).
@@neilforbes416 Once again, you understand languages evolve right? If you want to be like this, why don't you start speaking the oldest form of English you can find? It probably wouldn't even sound like English yet, but that's how it was created right? So go use it that way.
Ask any proper linguist, and I'm sure they will tell you that the meaning and usage of words change over time, and that's alright.
Eviscerated! Kudos, Aron! That was stellar!
I just am astounded by your work Aron and I have told you as much, thank you for what you are doing, dispelling so much nonsense
Keep this going, we need you!
I have long boasted that I can de-haunt a house just by entering it. Supernatural entities never manifest themselves when there is a skeptic present.
"I hear you can kill them with dragon glass" That was the best! 💀
The snake being in the video made this epic in my opinion😁
Huge fan Aron
Made an account for the first time support you and your causeI enjoy your content and watch to learn and be equipped to defend myself in arguments from people that think I’m a threat to them. Thanks to whoever liked my comment

I don't know who that guy is, but when he started speaking reverently about his characters, it reminded me vividly of when my friends used to talk about their built D&D characters that they have somewhat internalized. It's clearly imagination.

Very true.. How many NON-RELIGIOUS PEOPLE get possessed??? Absolutely none.. If possesions happen ONLY TO BELIEVERS THATS a damn good reason not to be religious Now isn't it
Im sure there have been atheists that one day started hearing voices thought they were possessed. Sure this happened before Christianity and the devil
@@daraghokane4236 if you think your possessed if you hear voices these days you need to forget about demons because your biggest issue is stupidity..people had an excuse long ago before anyone had knowladge..... Today if you believe in this kind of nonscence your slowing down the progress of humanity.. People who REALLY THINK THERES AN INVISIBLE MAN IN THE SKY WHO TELLS YOU YOU CANT EAT SHELL FISH BUT DIDNT MENTION SLAVORY IS HORRIFIC AND NOT TO KEEP PEOPLE AS WORKING CATTLE SHOULS ALLLLLL BE ROUNDED UP AND PUT ON SOME ISLAND WHERE THEY WONT BE IN THE WAY OF PEOPLE WHO MADE A CHOICE TO ACTUALLY USE THE BRAIN IN THERE HEAD INSTEAD OF FOLLOWING ANTIQUATED MYTH THAT HOLD NO TRUTH... IM SORRY TO PUT THIS SO BLUNTLY BUT AS A PERSON IF YOU THINK THERE IS SOME PRIVATE AFTER LIFE PARTY IN THE SKY FOR CERTAIN PEOPLE OF FAITH YOU JUST MY BE TO IGNORANT TO BE A PART OF A SOCIETY WHERE BRAINS REALLY COME IN HANDY!!!!YES IM SAYING IT TAKES HIGHLY STUPID PEOPLE TO BELIEVE IN HIGHLY STUPID THINGS... GO AHEAD AND TELL ME PEOPLE CAN BELIEVE WHAT THEY WANT AND ITS NO ONES BUSINESS. TELL ME I SHOULD NOT ATTACK STUPID PEOPLE Oops i meant RELIGIOUS PEOPLE.. IM SORRY YOUR "RELIGIOUS" BUT THESE ARE THE CHOICES YOU CHOOSE. IF YOU WANT TO THINK AS A SPECIES WHO IS LEarning and evolving to be smarter and more realistic then stop the childish sillyness unzip you closed minded skull and ACTIVATE the paralyzed clump of matter inside and become a thinking member of society instead of truely believing in the most ridiculous fairy tale ever told.. Stop thinking your one of the many people who pretend to know what god and his thoughts are... Grow the hell up put on your big boy big girl underwear on and contribute as a human.

@@r0bbyinchins I would say mental ill not stupid depression is actually more common in high iq people
@@daraghokane4236 i have no problem with mentally ill people . but when the or anyone else tells me their mental illness is instead a demonic possesion then thats where i have to try and help them see that its not demons... And pretenDing it is helps NO ONE AND SERVES NO PURPOSE
I'd love to hear more about the experiences you had with occult practices etc. It seems like there are very few people who manage to escape that and become a skeptic/atheist - Most just go deeper into these beliefs, or they end up becoming Christian (e.g. all the ex-newAge to Christian conversion stories)
AROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!! You cracked me up when you suddenly appeared with sneaky the snake while putting the scary freaky con man in his place!!! 😅 I imagined him watching and shitting himself full bowel unload deluxe 10,000 at that very moment!!!!!😂
"Give it to me..haa.. that was dumb" Aaron: Yeah, and still is. :))
That white snake is so beautiful and seems to have a deep connection with Aaron.
An interesting question is, "who would win a fight between a vampire and a werewolf?"
what I would like to know is what if the vampire bit the werewolf before he transformed?
That's honestly very interesting, never thought about that. I think that the werewolf would remain unharmed, but then again we need to be specific about which version of these two creatures we are using. Some vampires are just zombies who drink blood and don't posess the ability to turn the bitten into one of their own, some werewolves are just humans who turn into a regular wolf that can sometimes talk.
I LOVE these particular videos of Aron’s *_SOOOOO_* damn much!!!
I simply relish in savoring Aron’s stellar ability to articulate cogent arguments against nonsensical theistic bullshit!
That dope claims to be a licensed psychologist, but I truly wonder what catholic clown college he got his degree from?!
Jordan Peterson was a professor of psychology. 'Nuff said.
@@resourcedragon Touché
Thanks!
I'm schizoaffective myself, and I fear religion more than anything!
Sadly the church is feeding on people with mental health issues, since they are often desperately searching for answers.
Good job brother Ra 👍
When I was 16 my mother tried to force me to speak to the priest at the church I was forced to go to. (She thought I was possessed). Although she threatened to kick me out of the house, I still refused. Myself & 2 of my 7 siblings knew some things about the priests from the church since we were forced to attend catholic high school & the priests often visited. Besides, I had already decided I was not a part of the church b.s. So I had some fun being homeless flopping from one friends house to another for a few days & went back home. Mother let me back in & I couldn’t wait to be a little bit older so I could leave permanently & I did just before I turned 18. Fast forward to December 2006, I caught the priests name on the news & looked up his name. Turns out he was one of those kid touchers & had been shuffled from one church to another & his crimes were swept under a rug to be kept secret. There are several people suing for what he did to them. I couldn’t wait to smear that in my parents face!!! I knew better than to be alone with that guy. At the time he had only been caressing my hands & that was creepy enough 😡 My youngest brother’s class had labeled him “father hands”. Robert F Wyzgoski 1933-2006
EDIT:
You look great for your age!!! I’m a year older than you 😊
I saw the Exorcist shortly after it opened in December 1973 with a friend of mine and we darn near died from laughing out loud while watching the movie as it was the funniest movie I had seen next to Blazing Saddles that opened in February of 1974.
Beetlejuice is also a fan. 167 times, and it keeps getting funnier. 😆
I was born and raised in Texas and indoctrinated into Christianity.
I am relatively new to atheism and anti-theism - I only have 11 years under my belt (I’m 53) - but when I gave up the ghost, I gave it up hard. I may still be considered an Angry Atheist.
That being said, I saw the exorcist as a 5 year old little christian girl at the drive in movies. I guess my parents thought I and my baby brother wouldn’t pay much attention or would fall asleep in the backseat. That movie terrified me for literal decades! 😂
I saw the Exorcist on the second weekend of it's running in a large theater with 4,000 others. Nothing like that had ever been put on the screen before. The first horror film where a sweet young innocent girl became the scary monster of the story. I really enjoyed the movie, just as I always enjoyed fantasy fiction as an escape for a few hours. But, when the movie ended and the credits rolled, not a soul in the building was talking. Slowly, everyone filed out of the theater like silent zombies with their minds spinning from what they had just witnessed. Only then, did I realize that the majority in the theater had had their very souls rocked and they had been seriously disturbed by the film. The film didn't disturb me, but the reaction of other theater goers, really was very scary.
@@chrisgraham2904 also interesting to note that the premise was based around an incident in the late 1940s where a Catholic schoolboy just didn't want to go to school because, well, CATHOLIC SCHOOL. Also, child possession isn't supposed to be Pozuzu's thang, it's for his rival Lamashtu. In ancient Mesopotamia, Poz was summoned when a child became ill as Lam was usually to blame. Artistic liscence Hollywood, I s'poze.
@@kellywalker1664 More likely cognitive christian ignorance rather than Hollywood artistic license.
After all, the vast majority of christians do not actually read and thoughtfully consider the bible; rather, they listen to cherry-picked sermons and believe what their pastors tell them to believe.
It’s my confident argument that the strongest motivator for atheism is a thorough, comprehensive reading and honest, critical analysis of that despicable book.
I have a little “joke” of which I’m rather fond: How can you tell that a christian hasn’t read the bible? They’re still christian.
Oh bloody Hell, Aron. What have you got against garden gnomes? Who do you think looks after the flowers when humans aren't around?
A home is not a home without a gnome. A sundial is a plate without a gnomon.
"Do you also hear voices when you turn off the tv?" Thanks for the coffee out the nose!
I now get why Mick Jagger sang “ Sympathy for The Devil.
I'm so glad to hear someone else say The Exorcist wasn't scary. I'm just a few years younger than you are and when I first saw it back in the 70's I had the same reaction.
What's weird is Robert Wise's The Haunting scared me, but I think that was because it was smartly about things not seen, so my young kid imagination could be used to try to fill in the blanks.
It really depends on one's personal mindset - at ANY age. I saw The Haunting on tv at a young age, maybe 10, and was frightened by it. I was 16 when I saw the Exorcist, which disturbed me for a couple of weeks. I was not particularly religious, or knowledgable about religion, but was susceptible to religious ideas. The two movies take a different approach to the supernatural. The Haunting is about things we cannot control, while The Exorcist is about things we can control, but may not personally be psychologically or spiritually capable enough to control them. One inspires you to stay out of big scary houses, while the other causes you to question your own mental and moral standing - it is a personal challenge you can never fully rise above, unless you completely extinguish the entire notion of religion and spirituality.
@@aliensoup2420 I had a Catholic upbringing, but had parents that loved science. Religion was never forced on us, I never took catechism because of it, and Christmas time was so enjoyable I still love it until this day even as an atheist.
Einstein was a childhood hero of mine and I wasn't even a dork back then. :D
So strangely enough The Exorcist should have scared me more but I just found it unbelievable and slightly gross. The Haunting on the other hand gave me that things-that-go-bump-in-the-night frights which as a kid for me was spooky. The only 1970's film I found scary was Suspiria and I'm not sure why. That film gave me a few weeks of nightmares.
Today I only find a film like Elem Klimov's Come and See frightening because it's based on reality. That movie will haunt you for weeks.
Satan is a hero for disobeying the celestial dictator.
So is Asbeel.
Wasn't Satan just doing for himself?
@@LordMalice6d9 Never wrong to protect oneself from evil.
He did try to help others if you think on it.
@@LordMalice6d9 Another Question: you think The biblical God of wisdom who gave humanity wisdom and attempted to overthrow (not alone mind you) a shifty, admittedly jealous, warring God was selfish?
@@LordMalice6d9 Satan wanted everyone to be saved, and have the glory for himself. Jesus wanted only some people to be saved and give his glory to God. It's not all that different except now some people suffer forever in Jesus' plan.
It's always interested me that, certainly when you're a child, it's far easier to find a priest inside you than a demon.
I started listening to this man 20 years ago. I’ve been educated and entertained by every one of his videos. Thanks Aaron Ra 🙏
Aron's D&D must be so much fun!
Ah yes the exorcist....was a great documentary
🤣👍
We once had a partying member that kept getting possessed. Usually by picking up cursed weapons. We didn't have a cleric in the party so we just had to shake her until she snapped out of it.
Another video for my Aron Ra playlist. Excellent.
Why should Exorcism work at all?
A fallen Angel, who disobeyed God in the first place, occupies something or someone.
Why would they leave? They disobeyed god before, why would they obey god subsequently when commanded?
Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells, a terrific album from the 70s.
There's a great BBC documentary about Mike Oldfield here on TH-cam.
A lot of it is about that time of his life and the making of the album.
Seriously one of your best arguments I have watched to date. Perfectly on point
I've had full on arguments with my grandmothers garden gnomes. She was in early stages of dementia but still physically fit and wouldn't let anybody stop her from planting her veggie garden. We agreed so long as at least one of us was there to help her. When I helped her on occasion I would mumble at the garden gnomes just to where she could hear. She asked who I was talking to and I pointed to the gnome she called Fred. I told her Fred said he's going to open the gate at night so the bunnies could eat the fresh growth. Fred ended up at the bottom of the stock tank. When my uncle(her son) asked why she just threw a garden gnome in the pond she responded with Fred always has been a troublesome smartass. Yep I'm ornery but I learned a lot of my smartass skills from my grandma (sadly now passed).
