The tag line for their site is "Healing the Conversation on Faith."

I guess we're going to have to start posting priests with holy water at theatre entrances now.

Christians are always cherry picking which "facts" their religion touts. Demon possession is writ large as a reality in that religion. Ergo, it's a perfectly "logical" assumption to make that Holmes was possessed by demons. Is believing in demon possession any more fantastic than believing a guy came back from the dead?

Jezabelle Spirit by Brian Eno and David Byrne, from the album My Life in the Bush of Ghosts.

Actually a really cool song, very danceable, especially for the fact that they recorded an exorcism and set it to music
