An exorcism is tantamount to a miracle - an extraordinary intervention of God.
I am not particularly religious. But I think we do face the question of where God is, why we are created and where does life go, why we exist. That sort of thing. And it is very hard to talk about it these days, because it cannot be proven. It is hard to discuss it rationally.
I have a dream that America will pray and God will forgive us our sins.
