Surge in Satanism sparks rise in demand for exorcists, says Catholic ChurchHmmm. . . Maybe they should embrace the technology and do exorcism through interactive chat.

I think exorcism require a personal touch. I mean, I'm pretty sure Holy water doesn't work if it's "virtual".

Perhaps they could mail out do-it-yourself kits?

Doesn't most satanism have nothing to do with satan or demons as diety figures? That would mran this makes about as much sense as trying to exorcise bhuddists

The fact that the Catholic church still believes that people are literally possessed by demons is pretty hilarious.

Just like the 30,000 other denominations you don't believe in, yea?

Satanism has to be the most -ev religion...In it, you're effectively acknowledging a god, the forces of light and dark, yet choose to go with the dark side in spite of the fact that if you're correct, the consequences are clearly laid out in advance and your decision means eternal damnation.Perhaps they think that Satan is going to 'reward' them in the afterlife for doing his bidding on earth, but what could Satan possibly offer them? He lives in hell. It's like busting your ass for the mayor of Gary, Indiana.

I thought the idea was that you trade eternal damnation for power money and pleasure now.

Where do I sign up?

Of course, if this was actually true, nobody would sign up for it.

They would if it was turned into a "reality" show.

Have you met very many satanists?They're basically the sorts of people you find in a comic book shop, with more severe personality and adjustment disorders. Life offers those kinds of people no power, no money and no pleasure.... They're basically signing up for the eternal damnation part yet all they get in return is a sense of belonging with other colossal dork-asses whenever they wear a black trenchcoat in the middle of july.

I'll tell you what was disappointing to me... learning that the Anton LeVey-style church of satan was didn't actually worship satan, but was just a geeky, hedonistic rip off of objectivism.
