Summary
Do demons exist today? If they do, do they still possess people? If they possess people, how do we differentiate it from mental illness? (The Persians got it wrong some 2500 years ago) If demons exist, the foundation of atheism, namely naturalism and materialism, crumbles. And God is real. These questions and ideas are discussed in this episode. The experiences and thoughts of the great psychiatrist Richard Gallagher is explored. Here we find a well-schooled doctor who has seen too many supernatural traits in some of his patients to deny the existence of demon possession. If a Yale and Princeton graduate, a doctor in psychiatry, follows the evidence where it leads, together with thousands of witnesses, we can fairly accurately agree that demons are real. But do we have to fear this fact? Do we have to fear demon possession. Tune in and find out.
