Exorcism: Bad Acting Or Real Evil?

Poll question: Exorcism: Bad Acting Or Real Evil?

If they're exorcising the demon of bad acting out of this woman, we really hope they got all of it.

The video, which was posted on the site onkneesforjesus.blogspot.com, is pretty comical if you chose to believe it's more acting than spiritual healing. That said, it's still relatively funny if it's real.

Unfortunately though, we don't quite know where this footage was taken, or the type of church where the exorcism went down.

As it turns out, these "exorcisms" are a bit more common than you might think. There's also Hermes Cifuentes, "Brother Hermes," who the people of Colombia have been calling upon for years to drive.

2. I'm going with bad acting on this one; however I do think it's possible people can _believe_

they are possessed and therefore subconsciously do the bad acting. I don't think it's necessarily always a sham.

3. "... we don't quite know where this footage was taken ..."

Why waste our time asking us to think about yet another random post on the intertubes?

4. These guys are idiots.

You don't videotape this sort of thing - when you move your con job to the next venue, you never know who will have seen it already.

This is the same as the old tent shows "Get UP and WALK, Brother!" performed in town after town.

Religious con men.

10. By that I mean evil on the part of the Church, who perpetuates this bs

And evil on the part of the 'posessed' who does parlor tricks for preachers
