The GRUESOME Exorcism of Michael Taylor - Did the Devil Make Him Do It?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- Michael Taylor wasn't a particularly religious man. He lived in the small village of Ossett in Yorkshire, England with his wife, dog and 5 children. While he was liked by his neighbours they noticed he would experience bouts of depression, likely driven by a debilitating back injury.
A friend thought turning to God would help and recommended an avant-garde new church group who espoused faith healing and exorcisms amongst other things.
This path would lead to an unforeseen and deadly outcome. However, did the devil make him do it?

This was a horrible, horrible case, partly because it might have been prevented if Michael Taylor had gotten appropriate mental health care for his depression and never met that awful cult. Religion is a great comfort to many, but it's also one of the most destructive forces when misused
While I agree completely, I also think they could have just _started_ with exorcising "murder" and "insanity," and sent him home with, I dunno, the demons of being lazy and eating too much or something, which might be the part of this case that has always infuriated me the most. They sent a _clearly_ mentally unstable man home with the promise that they'd remove murder and insanity _later?!_ And only ONE person thought to point out that might not be smart?! What a relief that Christine (as I understand it) had sent the kids away
who can say he was not possesed? atheist always blame religious.
@@dagan8659kanye west contrarianism 😂
cons.
My faith in Jesus does help my depression but God also gives wisdom to seek professional help. This cult was already run by the enemy (Satan). It probably led to full blown crazy or possible possession. Sad when people fall into the trap of false teachers.
Praying that all will come to know God through the one and only way, His Son, Yeshua (Jesus).
Studies have shown that chronic depression changes your brain chemistry. Religious nonsense would have done nothing. Even counseling and meds might not have helped. But doctors exist for a reason. If religion actually helped heal, medicine wouldn't exist
I have a pretty strong stomach for stuff like this but this one made me uneasy. Those cult members took advantage of a clearly sick man and took no notice to a woman’s plea for help. Instead of getting him the help he needed they exacerbated his delusions. They are just as guilty as he was of this murder.
I am actually starting mortuary school in January, I also do not have a weak stomach either, but there is something about knowing what a human did to the deceased in real time, than the aftermath of it. Most deaths, at least where I live in northern Kentucky is car accidents. I have seen bodies that have been in the summer heat for many days. The natural decomposition is not for the faint of heart, but that’s the natural order of life. When you see homicidal violence that makes you feel awful.
@@celeste.cutz2020 I think decay and the fact that it is natural is kind of beautiful. I was interested in mortuary school actually and it’s super cool that you are doing it. I also thought about being a forensic scientist because of my love of true crime and puzzle solving. BUT the first time I came across a child I would crumble and I think I would lose sleep for weeks after a particularly gruesome murder so I decided that maybe that wasn’t for me.
The real demons were the people in this cult.
Thank you, Paul, from a relatively new subscriber and most-time-lurker. Great story, as always, and masterfully done.
I think the real semen was Michael😅
The cult and then the people who cling to it. Everyone who belonged did not become a brutal killer. It is nice when occasionally a cult and its leaders are taken to task, but it is not common for some reason.
The ministers were from mainstream churches and it seems a completely bizarre thing for them to have got involved with.
Agreed!! He needed mental health help, not any religious bullshit
This cult were evil but I would never have let Taylor out on the streets ever again!
It's possible for him to be a psychopath AND the church to be a cult. Honestly, I think he saw in all this flailing and religious nonsense a way to avoid responsibility. He wanted to kill his wife and cheat on her, now he had the perfect excuse. The fact that he was allowed to see those kids again and to go on living as normal is especially cruel. If you are that mentally ill, you are too mentally ill to be around the public. The courts clearly have no clear grasp on what to do in these cases.
"Hey guys we can't get the demons of murder, violence and insanity out of him it should be okay to let him go right?"
😂 lol
P0
Yeah, we got the important ones, like lust and envy.
They sure wouldn't bother trying anti- psychotic medications. That would be ridiculous!
This just emphasizes to me how many complete and total nutcases there are out there. Thanks Paul for all the work you do creating these videos for us to enjoy. You are my favorite ❤️
Religious nutcases
I so agree! Really crazy religious garbage.
Definitely right. I met one. Wow
Insanity, Murder, and Violence...hell of a three to just let him leave with 😅
I said the same thing! 😮
Exactly! And they wouldn't even heed the warning of the woman who told them to finish.
I'm just so glad he didnt see the devil in his children as well. His poor wife, and her dog, what a tragedy.
Murder would have been the first demon I exorcised but ig that's just me lol
Yep!
No, not the family dog 😢 the dog was probably trying to protect the wife. This monster didn't even get the punishment he deserves, 4 years is incredibly light for taking 2 lives cruelly.
Two of Taylor's exorcised ' demons ' were incest and bestiality ! Which makes me rather worried about what he'd been doing to the children and family dog.
@@lorrainedalgleish7616yes, I think they left yet another demon. If he were brought up on charges in later years...of touching a girl inappropriately. Must have left "lust" in there too.
What a disturbing ritual! Poor Christine.. and the dog! 😢
I can imagine Officer Walker regretted going into the house.. he surely lived the rest of his life with those images in his mind! Such a bizarre and interesting case.. Brilliant production.. 👏 Thank you, Paul 👍
You've got to wonder if the dog was trying to protect Christine. :(
@@ellaeadig263 I guess that's a possibility, Ella.. 🤷🏻♀️ Such a sad case..
Paul as always I love you guys videos so interesting and fascinating about humanity at its finest sensational job as always
It seems to be a general principle, that if someone who thinks they know what they're doing (but really doesn't) tries to 'help', they will end up making matters a 1000 times worse. This applies equally to local councillors, health gurus, TV repairmen, religious sects, and social workers.
Absolutely 👏👏👏
Agreed.
And you can add psychologists and psychiatrists to that list; essentially,at best all these people are making (more-or-less) educated guesses; dressing up opinion as hard fact.
Smith: the only demons left are violence, insanity and murder.
Vincent: 37 down and onky 3 to go. That's close enough. We will send him home for now.
Those are probably the only things he was ever really 'possessed' with. Oh, and infidelity.
Vincent should have been charged as an accessory.
I've listened to many of your videos now, and I must compliment you on how beautifully you tell the stories. Your voice is quite lovely sounding, and your speaking is measured and even. Many people tell stories on the internet, but unless they have a voice equal to the task at hand, it's all for naught. Thank you for sharing your tales and bringing history to life! Cheers!
Whoever or whatever makes people do what they do will forever be a mistery…it’s more like an elaborate cocktail of different types of poisons slowly annihilating the mind and soul. This world has so many stories and no one on Yt explains them better than you. Thank you Sir have a good weekend😊
Soul ha ha ha
Untreated mental illnesses combined with delusional religious beliefs combined to create this horrific situation. More proof to me of my choice to leave religions Behind has been the best decision I’ve made. To each his own. Poor woman and children.
@BrandyWine658 oh dear that equals your own woo woo
Please don’t judge ALL religions on this one case. That is the same as denying ALL medical care because of one bad Doctor- or forgoing ALL hair salons because you once got a bad hair cut, or never going out to a restaurant again because you once had an awful meal at a restaurant AND the list goes on. Educate yourself.
@@pocho689 Wrong ! demonstrate the accuracy of your fairy tale
@@gowdsake7103 Your comment has absolutely NO connection nor relevance to my comment. Educate yourself.
@@pocho689 it has no relevance? Are you honestly saying there is a religion that is not bullshit? Do please demonstrate that
I usually agree with light sentences when dealing with insanity, but not with this case. I have 2 points. 1, 4 years of treatment for the horrors that he committed would be not sufficient to make him not a danger to society.
2, I personally think that he wasn't insane, as he never showed any symptoms of psychosis before he joined the religious group. He had depression and that isn't always psychosis. His was depressed because of his chronic pain. I think he just wanted to get rid of his wife. I mean, if he was possessed by evil, why would he want to kill his wife whom he thought was also evil? He also said he was relieved after the murder. He was telling the truth this time. It's funny that when he was released, there were no reports of him relapsing and subsequent hospitalizations? There is no cure for psychosis and even with medication, there are always relapses. Just thinking?
That's fair, but there is plenty of evidence of people have psychotic breaks and heaps of evidence for how incredibly susceptible the human mind is to cults and their subsequent mind-warping nature. Personally, I do think he had some sort of psychotic break, though I do agree that 4 years of treatment probably weren't a big help. I've heard about this case before this video, and I believe he actually tried to commit suicide several times following his release/prior to the incident mentioned in this video. As for there being no reports of him relapsing/etc., he changed his name at some point so it's possible there have been and we simply do not know.
I agree. He only flipped out when he was accused of having an affair with Marie, the (21-year-old!) cult leader. Based on the amount of time they were spending together; I'd say the accusation was warranted. When his wife's accusation put a stop to the affair, he was enraged and decided she had to go. I would be interested to know if he and Marie kept in touch after the trial. Her nonsense about being the "demon's target" and only saving herself through saying the magic words was pure deflection. If it wasn't for Marie, Christine (and the dog) wouldn't have been killed.
Today, in cases of violent offenders being deemed not guilty on grounds of mental illness, the judges don't decide how long the offender spends in hospital. They are held indefinitely, and only ever released if the treating doctors are confident that they won't be a risk. I wonder if this case led to those changes.
Religion and mental health: the two get out of jail free cards that psychopaths go for every time.
Thank you very much mr. Brody for another excellent video. And for the excellent presentation of it.
This story is terrible sad and truly horrifying. Thank you for the respect you shared it Paul
When you said 1974 it took me by surprise- I genuinely thought it was a 1700 to 1800s case.
I was born in 1975 and grew up in Ossett hearing about this from my mum.
Isn't it good that there are true Christians out there doing God's work and protecting us against those scary atheists who have no morals and who go around brutally killing people?
Love it! 😂
Oh yeah, those human-loving atheists like Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong. Right.
Praise those holy rollers!
The exorcism should have been performed at Barking, because that is a good description of this disgusting affair.
Thanks Mr Brodie. Another great video, please follow it up with a video of the associated case of possession of Mr Arne Cheyenne Johnson.
This story would seem less incredible in West Virginia rather than West Yorkshire.
Indeed.
An extremely scary story reminding us of the ticking time bombs in society with unchecked mental health issues. I can't begin to imagine what it must have been like witnessing the scene of devastation. The sentence as in all too many cases was a joke. Thank you Paul ❤️
It wasn't a mental health issue--it was a bunch of extremely stupid people who thought "demons" exist. The cult members hold a lot of responsibility for this horror.
Mental health issues which are deepened by religion.
They did go in for those holy roller stuff in the 70s. We had a neighbor who attended one and claimed it healed his eyesight so he didn't need glasses but only for the drive home. 😂
it’s hard to keep a straight face when they say stupid stuff like that
@@boosqueezy2418 nothing beats a long time customer of mine who told me he put habenero juice in his eyes and then could see all the way to the Moon. Honest...a very interesting man. Had a lot of interesting stories...seemed well educated.
Lol
The misery, horror and wholesale slaughter religions have caused it this world is truly astounding. I ended this episode saying "And this is why I hate religion" instead of "Well, I never!"
Brilliant storytelling, as per usual. My congratulations and my appreciations sir, keep up the remarkable job.
The evil that mankind does in the name of their deity. Belief has seen the death of millions.
My thoughts entirely. Also pretended belief,so you can blame your actions on "satanic/demonic/evil spirit possessions".

I could understand this being believed in the 1770s but in the 1970s?!
I knew a boy with Tourettes syndrome which his Pentacostal family took as "demonic possession". He was not well treated. Apparently staying up all night and fasting was part of it. This stuff is still very common.
He played that well. Could it possibly be that he knew EXACTLY what he was doing? Is that beyond possibility? I don’t think so.
Great story. Much appreciated. 🙏
Nightly private rituals with a pretty woman.
Sane people don't rip peoples tongues out with their barehands and then run around the streets naked.
@@Sean-ky4bja lot of serial killers do and worse! Not sure about running naked lol. Maybe he was just high off what he had done.
Not that this was the cause of the whole incident, but there is no way Marie could have sufficiently led any group of people let alone a religious group at the tender age of 21. People don't have enough life experience by that age (even in earlier decades where people seemingly "grew up quicker") to deal with any kind of problem that emerges in a group setting.
"Charismatic leaders" don't need any qualifications, other than the gullibility of their congregation. Not only was she leading the group, she was seducing the new members. It's called "root and recruit". It was only after they were called out for carrying on their affair that either of them started talking about "demons". It's probably just a coincidence that the "demon" targeted their exposer.
You know, they actually had film that didn't crackle in 1974??😇
I am just so happy right now, because I saw that you put out a new story! My weekend can begin!
Thank you so much Sir! Greetings from Salzburg ❤
So they left him with Insanity, Murder, and Violence? Seriously?
Religion.
What a hoot.
So today is the anniversary of the ending of Daniel's first exorcism. And the murder, yeah? It's October 6th.
Awful. It's so sad that he wasn't able to get treatment - for whatever reasons.
Why is it always the "mild mannered, well liked and quiet" types who turn decidedly stabby and killy?
_Just for once I'd like to hear, "Yeah,we always knew he was a wrongun with his horse sacrifices, his terrible habit of skinning small marsupials alive while listening to Bauhaus and his naked romping in the woods late at night with all the village strumpets!"._
Because that is what happens when people do not get the mental health help that they need, they go into psychotic episodes and do not know what they are doing. Those priests also need to receive mental health help - believing they can 'cure' mental illness with exorcism is beyond belief and criminal.
@@janetpendlebury6808
_Slow hand clap for your obvious inability to recognise a slightly humourous rhetorical question and your compulsion to believe that you have all of the answers to lifes ills... which of course raises the question of your own mental health and your obvious need for ameliorative help.

People don’t want to acknowledge the abuse that is going on behind other people’s closed doors.
@@kellydalstok8900 People also don't want to acknowledge the abuse that goes on at the very top of society either, and THAT is out in the open & widely publicised.
Ipso facto: People are sh1t.
It's amazing how potent the power of suggestion can be, and tragic how easily this mentally ill man was led by first the cult and then the priests who 'left' specifically named demons within him.
This is on Wikipedia.The church that did the exorcism was Church of England.In Catholic exorcism they would have continued not stopped.He had some psychological break or was indeed possessed.
I was just thinking exactly the same thing. Talk about putting ideas into his head.
Thank you for another great episode. I would have been in my early 20s at the time but have no recollection of the case.
As usual, real Christianity is made to.look terrible. Nothing new
so much hate done in the name of God or religion…
Perhaps it's time to teach people to stop blaming fictional characters for their gross behavior?
Religion is the greatest work of fiction and the biggest evil.
My partner met this man a few times. He was a nice man by all accounts until religion exacerbated his problems.
Religion is a belief in the unbelievable.
1974! My birth year. 😊
Me too. Great year.
Since I gather that something bad happened to the dog, going to skip this one. Animal abuse is a serious trigger for me.
Humans are animals too but that would be ok?
Those "exorcists" forgot too remove the 3 most dangerous ones, and were too tired too remove them, well then they are guilty aswel for doing the worst job ever, exorcism is not done by shoving a cross in a guys mouth. Great story thnx
Iron age ignorance never solved anything
Religion and poor mental health never mix well.
Religion removes mental health.
Thanks for the upload, Paul. I look forward to watching this.
It's so nice when Paul says "take care" bc you know he means it and he has such a reassuring way about him. You should start an asmr channel, Paul!
I am SO glad I thought to read the comments before continuing this video. As soon as a dog was mentioned I knew I probably wasn't going to be able to watch. Thank you, @pimpozza.
This story really did make me say well i never. . .😱
Stories like this make me glad that I’m a secular humanist. Religion can be so destructive. Excellent presentation!
agree 100%
Yeah 'cause mental health professionals are so much better than clergy, always treating mental patients with the best care, before they lobotomize them, or I guess these days they just give them chemicals to create the effect of a lobotomy
While I'm an atheist too, and think the actions of the cult and priests absolutely encouraged, fed into, and actively pushed him further into his delusional state, it wasn't religion or the cult alone that made him do this. There had to have been a severe underlying psychotic illness in this case. The manner in which he murdered her is so horrific, I absolutely think he believed in his delusions, and then had sick people who made it much, much worse.
I refer to myself as a child of God
I don't do organized religion
Exactly, lunacy is the thing, not religion itself.

Speaking in tongue is just screaming gibberish, it makes me laugh. Not very religious of me but then I don't like stupid ppl.
It’s like the fairytale of the emperor’s new clothes; no one wants to admit they can’t do it, so they’ll pretend it’s a real thing until they truly believe it.
The late sixties (Rosemary's Baby) and early seventies (The Exorcist), on through the mid seventies (The Omen) were loaded with films exploring the many ways screenwriters could scare the s**t out of people: wondering how much of it propelled idiots like these people into acts of "defiance" against the dark side. The Devil is composed of human beings, not spirits, from serial killers to wackos like this. In that regard, yes, the Devil made him do it; he is the Devil, just like Jeffrey Dahmer, Gary Ridgeway, and Peter Sutcliffe. Oh, not to slight the ladies, let's throw in the poisoners and baby farmers. The Devil favors no gender.
David, I agree with you. It’s as if the horror movies were setting up the scenarios for this kind of delusional thinking and violence. I watched all those movies and more. The cults who came out over the years were targeting the lost and the mentally ill. They fostered a sense of belonging and began grooming followers to obey the dictates of the leader. I believe that the cult should have been prosecuted for inciting the murder. The slap on the wrist Michael Taylor received was completely unacceptable. He should never have been released back into society. And, what of the poor children?
@@NanaBrenSince the leader of that sect was described a charismatic, I’m pretty sure she is/was a narcissist, just like other sect leaders. And the secret nightly rituals something more carnal than spiritual.
No one thought to seek psychiatric help?
No it's covered by the insanity of religion

Question ; _(superstitious mythology Vs. medical science)_
How do you tell the difference between someone that is possessed by a demon, and someone
who is also convinced of the same but is merely having a schizophrenic breakdown ?
Not the doggo :(
How was it anyone fault other then his own ?
This is the first ever time I’ve been the first viewer……. Whooptydoo
Haha! Congratulations, Simon! I hope you enjoy the episode :)
Watching the exorcist had an odd effect on some people already open to the reality of such things. 1974 was the year the film opened in the UK.
Some lady can’t give anyone a “full Church absolution.”
I don't understand why atheist always blame God.....this was a mistake of misdiagnosis, they thought they were doing something good but God never asked them to do it.....God scriptures are interpreted and misused doesn't mean God's works! People are so easy to blame anyone but the responsibility of each individual, it was his decision to have and extramarital affair that goes against God's laws, his wife chose to let him find excuses and comes back even tho she was well aware of his mental deterioration,God's words never said u have to take him back after his affair, in no way the priests were pushing him to kill his wife but at that time the government didn't really took care of people with mental health problems so people used priests and religion to ease and explain the depression...........what's happened in that apartment was not God's work......people take the easy way,if evil things happens its because God allowed it,yet we all take decisions that goes against our own belief to accommodate our desires and whims.
It might have been a good idea to start that exorcism with that pesky murder demon.
IKR!! I'm no profession exorcist but I would have started with the insanity, murder and violence, perhaps leaving masochism and beastiaIity last (someone could have kept his dog at their home overnight).
@@susanivy3619 NO ONE IS A PROFESSIONAL EXORCIST
@@gowdsake7103because exorcism isn’t real and demons don’t exist. Religious indoctrination makes people susceptible to all kinds of woo.
Even from a Christian theological stand point , the devil doesn't "make " people do anything . The doctrine is that he is a tempter who exploits people's inherent weaknesses and proclivities . He does not remove people's free wiil and they are at liberty to choose the right path . The Satan of the Old Testament , from which the later figure of the devil evolved , is a tester of faith , as in the Book of Job and acts on God's direction . You cannot have a supreme god that allows a rogue angel to openly defy him and do what it likes . To posit an autonomous evil power with comparable or equal power to the good God is dualism , which is traditionally a heresy within both Judaism and Christianity .
Poor Christine! What a brutal and painful way to die! It must have been horrible for her knowing that her own husband was murdering her. I wonder what happened to their 5 children. They lost a mother and a father that night. I'm sure it was impossible for the children to have a relationship with the man who killed their mother. :(
The sheer insanity of religion
Its amazing how many evil scumbags can plead insanity and get away with murder. The "excorcism" may not have been pleasant but i doubt it traumatized him that much to make him go home to the wife he was already cheating on and gouge her eyes out. Did the devil tell him to kill the dog cos it was "evil" too.
Wait the exorcist was named peter vincent? Like from fright night?😂
I must say Paul,you have the perfect appearance & voice for this sort of content.I always look forward to your well researched videos.Thank-you.👏👏👏👍
Religious psychosis is one hell of a thing. So many cases like this where religious people kill while believing they are some religious figure evil or otherwise (or just lying about being a religious figure to try to escape consequences)
He could have been saved if he went to a psychiatric hospital instead of a church. Certainly, that would have saved his wife and dog.
It's very evident he was/is severely mentally ill. Seems to suffer from a psychotic illness of some kind. Possibly schizophrenia, although the onset of schizophrenia is usually late teens to early twenties in men, but it's possible he had late onset schizophrenia, or could easily be another psychotic disorder that made him susceptible to delusional thinking, paranoia etc. That can occur at any age, he may well have had earlier episodes like the time he was screaming in tongues at those church members, but hadn't had such a severe and encouraged delusion or outburst before.
I have no doubt that the cult he joined contributed significantly. The worst thing to do is encourage and participate in the delusions that someone having a psychotic episode is having. They pretty much set him up for this to happen! Telling him he still had demons of murder and death in him?? Keeping him awake all night to add some sleep deprivation to his mental illness... great ideas.... such an horrific event, he needed to be sectioned at that point, not tortured then sent home to his wife!
While I agree that he was certainly both clinically and legally insane at the time, he likely needed to be institutionalised in a psychiatric facility long term. Antipsychotic medicines are serious business. They have a huge impact on the brain, especially the ones available in the 70s; and many people are not compliant with continuing to take them because the side effects are often so devastating, then they easily begin to slip into beliefs that they're better now and don't need the meds, or still have paranoia and believe the meds are harming them or poison, and stop taking them, then spiral into another psychosis.
Releasing him into the community only a few years after such a terrible episode was dangerously negligent, in my opinion. While I don't think people with mental illnesses should all be kept in asylums, and there were many, many problems with asylums! But we do need more long term psychiatric facilities for people like this, who have proven to be a terrible danger to others. Many of the psychotic illnesses can't be "cured", they need to be treated and managed for life, and the nature of the illness makes it almost impossible for the person with the psychosis to have insight into their own treatment and behaviour, making it hard for them to manage their condition alone. Long term supervision and care needs to be more available. It's still a huge problem that doesn't get nearly as much funding as needed.
the only way to get rid of sin is by visiting the roman catholic confessional box, pentacostal protestants think that they can whip GOD up like an instant cup off coffee
Earliest I’ve ever been , love this channel ❤️❤️❤️
Crazy people and religion. What could go wrong?
The irony that a Christian ad about the power of praying airs right in the middle of the exorcism segment is... Not the best timing on their part.
Sir Paul, i appreciate all you do.
Howdy, from Texas.
I'm enjoying a cool Friday with cappuccino and a story from Paul ❤
Organized religion has always seemed like a crutch...at least to me.🤔🤗
Oh good lord. When I had the video paused I checked the release date for “The Exorcist” - October 1973. Wonder if he saw that movie.
This also reminded me of a story I read about an interview with a retired Scotland Yard detective around 1960. His most vivid memory was his first night as an 18-year-old patrolman, responding to one of the Jack the Ripper murders.
As a Christian I’ve had occasions when I wondered about the central image of Christ crucified, if it sometimes inspires violence in individuals, congregations, or governments.
Talk about getting away with torture and murder! He blamed his wife for her murder by saying she was possessed. Was the dog possessed? 🤦🏻♀️Christianity has never made a lot of sense to me. Not a dig, it just doesn’t. And the court catered to him. Lovely. 🙄
Nice one guys, Thank you. 🩵 I freakin’ love this channel!
The reason why Christianity doesn't make sense to you is because it is utter nonsense.
@@Tumbledweeb It is full of contradictions, which people inside seem to not notice, but genuinely spiritual people are very nice.
@@addie_is_me They do notice them, but they are dishonest and refuse to acknowledge them. If you were to point out contradictions in literally any other religious text but their own, they'd be all over themselves in agreement with you, but as soon as you do the same with theirs, nope!
I've even shown them verses from their own Bible but told them that it was from another religious text, and they are 100% agreeing with me. Then as soon as I reveal that I bullshitted them and where verses are really from? They start backtracking like fucking crazy.
Excellent point about the dog. The Old Testament has a lot to answer for in encouraging a mindset where humanity doesn't even consider the rights of our fellow creatures , but teaches us instead that animals were only created for the use of human beings.
@@lorrainedalgleish7616 The Old Testament doesn't even consider the rights of humans; Slavery is perfectly fine in the Old Testament. Including the sexual slavery of CHILDREN.
Man killed his wife and dog and was out in two years as I have always said if you take a life you get life no mater the excuses and there is no god so there is no satan
It's a shame that he and the church couldn't come to some kind of 'delusional overlap' in their selective distorted perceptions/beliefs.
But if you teach somebody to believe in the fantastical and unseen, and encourage the speaking of gibberish publicly and passionately as a gift of divine insight, the narcissists and schizos will come--and find it immensely validating and motivational. Also makes a convenient justification/defence later.
Cult leaders are invariably narcissists. Their superficial charm draws in vulnerable people.
I woke up this morning with the thought yay it's Friday a new video from Paul. Thank you so much
Normalcy? Really? Whats wrong with the old fashioned Normality? Ok its not trendy but neither is normalcy, it sounds pretentious.
It's hip to be square. 👍😁
I have a feeling the "exorcism" on this mentally inferior, emotionally inept, and morally corrupt man gave him inspiration to kill his wife, whom he actually hated.
Religion and the exorcism sent this mentally ill man over the top, he needed help from medical professionals, not people who believed in fairy tales. If he had had psychiatric help this could have been avoided.
