Quote
The idea of demonic possession is nothing less than a metaphysical, theological or spiritual explanation for human evil. The Exorcist (1973), a film based on William Peter Blattey's book about an allegedly true case, provides a highly dramatized depiction of evil, possession and exorcism, and stimulated renewed public fascination with the possession syndrome.

I glanced at them but didn't read them fully, but there seemed to be some interesting stuff.

`But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
`Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
`How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
`You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'

I see it, but apparently its because I don't understand the concept of Qadr (Predestination)

Good grief. If I travelled in your social circle, I'd feel like I was trying to teach algebra to a goldfish.

Lol I've actually distanced my self from a lot of people, i'm a bit of a loner nowadays, don't have many friends from before I was Muslim left either. I think I would of yanked my hair out and shoved it down someones throat by now if I had that many Muslims around me, too much effort lol.

Sometimes I think the goldfish understand, but the holy book has given them a script, so they will have to agree and claim to believe things, even though deep down they might not agree or understand. It is quite apparent when you ask people questions and they don't know the answer but they know the question, they simply have never sought the answer, "We hear and we obey" simples.

My mind runs, I can never catch it even if I get a head start.
