Leaving aside the notion that we're supposed to take the word of someone who believes in evil spirits seriously, he's saying he's performed nearly one a day for three decades straight? Pretty tight schedule! Is this just "slap 'em on the forehead and shout 'begone!'", or does he need to take time with each of the afflicted to learn what ails them?
Do they all come to him for the convenience of his assembly line, or does he travel to them? Does the travel time cut down on his exorcising time?
Are there any "mass exorcisms" that are throwing off the average, so that he actually had enough free time to schtup his wife once much less raise a kid?
Since he's such a fearsome demon-demolisher, doesn't he have to waste any time chasing down people because the demon possessing them knows it is toast if this guy lays hands? Or is Satan so inept at doing his infernal work that he doesn't share this important bit of intel with his underlings in the field?
The logistics just don't add up.
I didn't watch the video, and can't at the moment. How did Nightline treat it? I'm guessing not as "hucksters: the next generation".
