"Cast Out Demons" AKA, "Tricking someone on psychedelics into thinking they're possessed"

Skip to 4:10 if you want to jump past the feel-good, inspiring music business and get straight to the messed up part.

I was at this festival and passed their tent a couple of times. Kind of just laughed and kept on walking, although I was a bit miffed at the idea of people coming to this kind of a thing to try and convert people.

I didn't fully realise the creepy and unethical implications of it though. They come across a guy on drugs, and instead of taking him to the medical tent when he starts convulsing, they decide to have an exorcism instead. Because drugs invite demons. Cue them taking advantage of his vulnerable mental state to convert him.

What the actual fuck makes people think this is OK, like this guy needs serious help.

Man I've been in that blonde guys position before and fuck me that's a scary thought of people coming and doing this shit to you when you're wrecked out of your mind and very impressionable.

Like making a guy think he had a demon in him? that's traumatic as fuck.

I will never call people like these true Christians. They never ever try to help others via Jesus, but rather scare people so they can be "Christians." Like seriously, they need to take time to think about what they have done. Like what rational person would think that Jesus would want this?!?!
