An evangelical Nicaraguan pastor and four followers have been sentenced to 30 years for burning a woman to death in a so-called exorcism ritual.
Vilma Trujillo, 25, died in February after being tied up and thrown on a fire.
The group had denied killing her and said she was possessed by the devil.
...
Pastor Juan Rocha, 23, plus his siblings Tomasa and Pedro Rocha, and Franklin Jarquin and Esneyda Orozco, were convicted of murder.

(47,549 posts)1. Before I put a million people on ignore, one of the most flabbergasting things I've ever heard...
...was from people right here at DU that they believe demonic possession is real.
Couldn't tell you if those people are still around, but OH MY FUCKING GOD, REALLY?!?!?!?

What do you expect?

Try making a post mocking exorcisms...it will get locked...
You can't even make fun of fucking exorcism or demons on this board because people actually believe this shit and take it seriously.
These 2 statements are equal on DU:
- Water is composed of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom
- People can be possessed by demons and we're grateful to have the catholic church and its excorcists to drive these demons back to hell.
And people wonder why trump is your president?

Full stop, do not pass go, do not collect two hundred dollars.
Full tilt boogie stupid.
Are there any people still around on DU that believe in it, or defend it? We shall see.

Can't defend this shit...all they can do is alert and hope it goes away...which has worked in the past...
Now watch the 'forum slide' begin...happens everytime one of these stories gets posted...just watch...
