Part 2
>No atheists have ever been possessed by a demon. No Buddhists have ever been possessed by Satan/Lucifer/The Devil and required a Christian exorcism (which usually amounts to nothing more than a priest yelling in Latin and throwing Holy Water) to be cured.
>
>If demonic possession, or any other sort of possession were real, it wouldn't happen only to people who believe that they can be possessed.
>
>I do not believe for one second that people can be "possessed" by an external force. Therefore, if possession were real, I should be just as likely to be possessed as any Christian, but I haven't yet.
>
>The only people who have been possessed are people who believe they can be possessed. (Historically people have always differentiated between run of the mill crazy and "being possessed".) They are often abused and/or raised in ridiculously strict/fundamental/crazy religious households, and "being possessed" is a way of dealing with the guilt of whatever normal thing they've done that their upbringing has instilled a disproportionate amount of guilt/shame in them for doing. They're then "exorcised" and lo and behold they're right as rain. Because there was nothing wrong with them in the first place.
>
>If demonic possession as outlined by Christians were real, all people would be affected regardless of their beliefs, race, or level of orthodox-ness. Instead it's only devout Christians who have been demonically possessed.
>
>Now please take your strawman argument and leave me alone.
