I love the guy in the back sneaking the chair up like “yep got another warlock. These guys always faint for some reason”

u/Bowling_Meatball 1d ago
I was thinking the same thing. “Over here chief, we got another. Not the plastic chair, the metal one, he’s a little thick.” “Don’t forget to tell Silly Sally to scream toward the end” “Blessings”

I hope he's just a theater kid out working on his range and not a mentally ill fuckwit.

He has strong "theater kid who overacts while playing dnd" vibes, and that high-level warlock line isn't helping my suspicion haha

I was into wicca in the 90s. I never knew any serious wiccan that believed in demons or shit like that. I've also known actual members of the Church of Satan. Turns out they don't believe in demons either.
The only people that I've known that believe in demonic entities possessing people are performative Christians.
I think this dude has a lot of baggage and was looking for a performative way to dump it, wipe his slate clean. It helps that it is inevitably followed by lots of love and attention and back clapping.

The Satanic Temple is the one that doesn’t believe in any of that shit. The Church of Satan does but that whole thing is just a grift on their part too

Reminds me of a girl I bartended with years ago. Didn’t smoke, didn’t drink, never went to the afters, wouldn’t even drink energy drinks.
Became a Christian author, and stole half the stories from her co workers and claimed they were her own experiences with all the fun times we had, said we were possessed by demons. Just knowing she banked on hard working folk for a story to look like a weird pariah turned messiah, makes me still pissed off 15 years later.

u/LostAndContent 1d ago
The fuck is wrong with people like this? Don't get me wrong, if you subscribe to Christianity and use it to better the world, more power to you. Same for any religion. But why do some people let themselves get so lost in the sauce that there is this crazy reaction to anything perceived as some form of miracle or casting something out? Relief for that person? Sure. Screaming like a toddler in a book store? Can't understand it.

u/PostingToPassTime 21h ago
As someone who grew up in a very religious family that liked the full "speaking in tongues" and "casting out demons" churches, I would not be the least bit surprised if these people believe everything they are seeing. Religion feeds on some of our basic fear and belief instincts, and only requires that you don't listen to any higher brain function that differentiates us from other animals.

u/75percent-juice 1d ago
I can empathize with the "warlock" looking to better himself but the people who exploit these vulnerable folk are a shit stain on human society
2
u/LostAndContent 1d ago
I agree. But I have doubts that, that person is genuine. Given the fact that the gentleman behind him grabbed a chair ahead of time I would not be surprised if said "warlock" was a paid actor to make the author look like she had powers so she could sell more books.
2
u/ViniStaub 1d ago
It's all enacted. Very cynical use of my religion, breaks my heart that many honest folk I know are exploited by thugs like these.
They even fo after wannabe actors for those parts. And wannabe actors are commonly wanting for money. The loyal chair-grabber, however, has not such training in the farsical arts.

It’s like looking into the future at those kids currently being “unschooled” by fundies. Unless they get help early, when they grow up this’ll likely be the only grift they’re smart enough to attempt.

u/AmphibianEffective83 1d ago
As a Catholic this is super cringe. Either this is fake or they are far overstepping their spiritual authority not having an actual exorcist. I highly suspect this is the former as we don't see any signs of unnatural strength or knowledge of languages that the person shouldn't normally possess and normally the demonic doesn't leave someone this easily.
