Crazed Christian murders son during “exorcism”

Only Catholic Clergy can Perform Exorcisms

The Devil made me do the exorcism

Exorcism, from the Greek, binding by oath, is the religious practice of evicting demons or other spiritual entities from a person or place which they are believed to have possessed. Depending on the spiritual beliefs of the exorcist, this may be done by causing the entity to swear an oath, performing an elaborate ritual, or simply by commanding it to depart in the name of a higher power. The practice is quite ancient and part of the belief system of many cultures and religions.

An exorcism is the driving out of a dybbuk, demons, or evil spirits; the belief that a holy man can order the expulsion of evil spirits that have invaded a place or body of a person is ancient. Different types of exorcisms and rituals can be seen throughout different faiths too. Requested and performed exorcisms occurred rarely until the 1900’s where the public saw a sharp rise due to the media attention exorcisms were getting. There was “a 750% increase in the number of Exorcisms performed between the early 1960’s and the mid 1970’s.” In more recent times however, the insanisty has gone too far:

As someone who watched too many Exorcism movies, Latisha Lawson, 31, known as a “devout Christian woman,” forced her two-year-old son Jezaih to drink a vile mixture of olive oil and vinegar as part of a ritual to drive the devil from his body.

As he choked on the liquid she held her hand over his mouth to stop him vomiting and crushed his neck.

Jurors heard Lawson had wanted to drive a demon named as “Marzon” from her son’s body. She had become convinced that her son was possessed and blamed herself because she did not profess her love for God while she was pregnant.
