Sorry for the typo, Ms. Ogyny!
It seems that the best way to keep a demon from causing a person to climb the walls, levitate, or spin their head completely around is to bring a camera to the exorcism.
🤣👍🏻
When I was a Catholic, getting possessed by a demon was my greatest fear. Seriously, I was totally convinced I could be controlled by an evil spirit for... reasons. After years of slowly outgrowing my faith, I one day realized that the concept of sin was completely untrue and without that, the whole religion fell to pieces; I was relieved beyond words. Partly because I could finally stop being afraid, and partly because, without a god, the world made sense.
When I was a Catholic, I remember being obsessed with keeping so called "holy" objects to protect me from demons. Such as Crucifixes and wearing the Miraculous Medal.
The sad reality of this for me, is thinking of how many people with very real mental health issues have been tortured by these people in the name of 'saving' them.
Or normal people who were LBGTQ+,, or held heretical views.
A childhood friend told me he was once levitated in the presence of a priest. I was utterly fascinated! The fact that his eyes were closed and it felt like he never left the floor didn't even clue me in on what might have actually happened until I started disbelieving god and the supernatural: *He was tricked into believing it happened!* Either that or he lied about the whole thing. I had to get my head out of the sand before I could think logically.
The only time I was ever levitated in the presence of a priest, I was a kid and ended up on his lap.........may not have been such a spirit-driven experience now that I think of it.
I'm currently dealing with this stupidity. I'm a home health nurse & one of my 92 year old patients has dementia. Well, the family are religious NUTS & they think she is "possessed with demons". The daughter told me she tried to "slap the demon out of her" & the lady had a big bruise on her face. I immediately called EMS, had the lady transported to the ER & then called Adult Protective Services. So sad this lady will not be able to go back to her OWN home & will more than likely be put in a nursing home.
He watched the exorcist and thought it was real.
Quite a few years ago I went to a pentecostal church, as they were praying people would watch around and put a persons back.
As I was praying the were softy pushing me back and forth trying to get me to sway back and forth.
Since I was in the ARMY I used to standing for a long time and never kept my knees locked so I would not fall out in formation.
They were trying to get me to fall back so I felt the spirit was in me.
I never went back to that church.
It did however take me about forty years to shed religion altogether.
Dear Brian, these people are trying to steal your gig. Self satirising is stealing food from your table.
Demons exist. Trust us. There's no way we could be wrong, unless a demon is tricking us again.
You are wrong!...Oh wait...if you are wrong then you must be possessed which would then prove me wrong...so I must be possessed. Which would still mean you are right! OH.......you clever trickster you.....YOU must be the devil.
@@rickskeptical
This is exact how that conversation goes. 😄
You're fun
The scariest part of that whole interchange is that there are people out there who listen to it and *Believe EVERY Word.*
That all by itself is enough to put me off my breakfast ... [URP!]
Ever notice that the only people that get possessed are the ones that believe possession is possible?
There was another priest in the room who didn't see it... Well, in the last video we learned that this guy thinks that he sees things that he believes, rather than believing things he sees. So what does it matter whether or not the other priest saw it? That other priest will believe it and then he'll see it, even though he didn't actually see it, right?
Right! It was imagined by means of self delusion, and he's practically admitted as much.
Oh my God! I have schizophrenia and the priest just described some of the more severe symptoms. Guess we need to institutionalize religious fundamentalists. Oh wait! They are already an institution. The inmates are running the asylum! It all makes so much sense now.
03:26 is just like Paul on the road to Damascus! Other people were there, but no one else saw anything! So it must have happened!
Humans can be evil enough..why would we even need demons? 🤷🏼♀️
It appears to me that by cranking up the "fear factor", the church was/is able to secure funds from the chronically afraid.
Even though they stopped taking money for seats in Purgatory, that marketing idea has never gone away.
Invisible mind-altering parasites go hand in hand with the omnipotent omniscient invisible friend who allows them to torment his children...
I suspect a crucial connection with tithing here, but some church documents are a bit hard to come by...
@@Robert-yc9ql great point
If father Lampshade believes even half the lunacy he espouses, he's either one of the world's biggest conmen, or the best candidate for the next straitjacket.
He did say he sees and hears things that aren't real.
I'm gonna go with the latter.
He's gone full metal straight jacket.
It's amazing only those deluded to believe there are demons are the ones actually possessed.
Once they admit to the possibility of being deceived, the whole thing falls apart. Unless you’re being deceived.
So,Jesus didn't really rise from the dead,the demons just deceived the crap out of the disciples so the disciples would help them spread their lies.To bad Jesus didn't do his rising in the 21st century-with all the cameras we have today. Hmmm?
I've seen people babble at length about things that we all knew were bullshit but, this guy has a collar and government recognized parking priveleges.
This went beyond stupid squared. More like stupid to the power stupid.
But not unexpected. Not after that bit in the first video where Father Gullible said "believing is seeing." Then implied here that maybe he saw somebody levitating because he believed he would.
Sheesh.
I've always wondered about the demon fascination with Latin and Greek.
They really love to show off
This priest just watched a bunch of horror movies, literally everything he mentions are in movies, half in The Exorcist alone.
That’s a great point. I didn’t think of it. May use it in part four. #theft
It's entirely possible, even plausible, that the people who make exorcist movies consult with the church about what a possession looks like. I mean, if you want to make a movie about mythology, consult the experts on that mythology, right?
"...eyes rolling in the back of the head, foaming at the mouth, exhibiting superhuman strength..."
☝YOU, call 911!
He describes the things he's "seen" with an incongruent head nod the entire time.
@3:12 That, right there, is how Paulogia has described the resurrection appearance, except they both did "see" it. After that, it was all the power of suggestion.
3:13 I almost did a spit take at your reaction. Well done!
Assuming for the sake of argument that demons and demon possession is a actual thing I always wondered why they never take over anyone who could do real damage. It's always a old lady or a little girl or boy🤔😂
I make that exact point in part four. Great minds…
There is film footage of this type of thing. Levitation mean arching your back and rising off the bed. Crawling up the wall like a spider means being up on the wall. If ever there was any kind of supernatural event, no one ever managed to catch it on film.
Thunderbolt and lightning very very frightning.
This guy has seen more possession movies than I have...and that's a LOT!
Ain't it just like those crazy demons that, in the thousands to millions of years they've been possessing humans, they've never felt the urge to do it in any way that could be recorded or demonstrated to any amount of scrutiny? And it's only around psychics and Catholic priests!?
Having just watched Saint Maud, I’m nominating Welsh as the Language Unknown.

"Can someone get Rummy on the line?"
I don't know quite how to tell you this BriBri...
Kaiser health doesn't list demon possesion anywhere ... Crazy huh?
Ya know, Brian....kinda sounds like the golden plate witness stuff.
"I believed until I saw. If I couldn't see them then I needed to repent for my lack of faith until I believed enough to see them in my 'mind's eye'. That's how I knew they were real."
And as south park said about that, Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb but with a Melody 😂
that fire background and burning noise, that's hilarious.
He's levitating!
- no he isn't!
But I see it!
- but we don't!
Yet it's real!
- did you take your anti psychotic medicine?
OH FFFFUUUUU......
By the logic that Demons use a persons memories; Moses could of been talking to a Demon who've allowed Moses to remember what the Egyptian priests taught him while he decided in the palace growing up.
"And you have a cat called bubbles.... or to give him his full name...BEELZEBUBBLES!"
Masterful - or should I say Misterful - as usual. This makes me want to break into unknown unknown languages and leap suddenly out of chairs to freak my super religious family out at family events. Devil made me do it. Though they’d probably not invite me back in case my demon stains their walls.
Hearted and thumbs up for the fun comment AND the use of “Misterful.”
@@misterdeity Well, thank you sir!
It's so refreshing when they debunk themselves, :p.
"nothing happens in the deon world that god doesnt want to happen". then he is the bad guy

Cameron continues to bring us stupidity with high production values.
All that exists, even that which we can't explain, exists within the realm of science.
There basically two types of people who are religious: those on top that know deceit will benefit them and then the stupid ones who believe them and pay for their lavish life-style.
Psy0psAgent agrees. It’s a cult. I say it’s well known. The bib el or book of el is Biblios Heliotech. Already known. So a cult. I think (insult name) L Bob hubcap based his cult off an already existing model.
Interesting observation about societies past and present is that they never make a law or prohibition against something that does not happen within said society that they deem undesirable or in a negative light. The same thing happens in religions as well.
Now you are a Christian and you see demons every where and you have been told repeatedly that demons are out to get you! Your religion tells you that if you are a good little Christian you will be rewarded with an eternal afterlife. The early Christians who had a short and miserable life would trade the here and now with an eternal paradise in the afterlife and take an active hand in ending their lives. Is it any wonder why the early church leaders would determine that suicide was a sin, very hard to retain members when they keep on killing themselves.
"Speaking languages otherwise unknown". Sounds suspiciously like "speaking in tongues".
A 'demon' tricked the pastor, or the pastor is lying and making up stories. I tend to go for the latter.
He kinda confirmed that with admission that another priest didn't see what he did. Whether its a lie or a hallucination, it's all in his head.
I recall when Hitchens was asked why he enjoyed debating Theists.....
"Because you never know what they're going to say."
That father was remembering scary movies😂😂 All of that was on The Exorcism of Emily Rose!
I worry about Mr. Deity. At 3:12 it seems he came REALLY close to "Incredulity Overloadititus".
We should take up a collection and send him some incredulity armor (a physics book).
The original video has people asking why someone would make this all up to the few people who challenge it there. I'm guessing it's a steady job that would be harder to hold if you admitted that it wasn't real or necessary. That seems like a straightforward motivation.
I don't think the pastor is making this up. Just go to a magic show and witness all the supernatural. Magic shows work because people want to believe. What we see and remember is not always what was actually happening. I'm sure that in his mind he believes that he saw demons and people crawling up walls like spiders. This is the saddest part of religion, it elevates personal believes to Truths. Believing is the evidence. "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen."
@@holz_name Are you suggesting the magician at a magic show doesn't know he's faking? Either your analogy missed or you're presenting something that I am not prepared to believe. I'm sure, in his mind, people believing this is cash.
@@tenzek4635 The priest is not the magician, the priest is the audience. The magician is the person who is "possessed". Of course the magician at a magic show knows that she is faking. But what if you have a magician who doesn't know? You have people who wholeheartedly believe in demons and possessions and they know (by instinct, not by design) how to give a convincing performance.
You just need to look at the evangelical churches, how people talk in tongues, get miraculously healed, dancing around. It's the same mechanism as hypnosis. Hypnosis works because people give a convincing performance under group pressure. So you have both, the magician (the "possessed") and the audience (the priest) who participate in a magic show. The difference is of course that both truly believe that the magic is real.
The "possessed" gives a convincing performance and the priest is fully open to the experience, willing to accept the performance as a true demon possession. The "possessed" is of course not aware that she gives just a performance, but also believes that she is truly possessed. Our brains are really good in giving convincing performances, only people with Asperger syndrome are bad at it. Our brains basically evolved to give such performances, and we do this every second of our lives when we interact with others.
Moreover, both then start to "see" stuff that wasn't there. Levitation for example. Children do this for fun. Children play a game where they levitate a friend, Light as a feather, stiff as a board. Of course the friend doesn't levitate, but in the minds of the children it does. The difference here is that we don't elevate a child game to the Truth, but in religion we do. The priest believes and so it becomes the Truth. Believing is the evidence. And the more confidence you have in your belief, the more evidence you have.
@@holz_name He's the one getting paid to be on stage, so he's the magician in this. There was no example of a possessed person fooling anyone. Just him talking.
There’s a reason why, in the US, there’s a fund to help priest who lose their faith on the path to a real job; they never learned any useful skills for the real world. Except for used car salesman perhaps.
What bothers me about Cameron is why he would want it to be true. Watch a horror movie or a very good thriller if you want to feel a certain way.
"I'd like, "Put the Crack Pipe Down, for$1000, Alex..."."
So... lemme get this straight...
He's hopelessly in love with an entity who is absolutely indifferent to him.
He's aware of this omniambivelance yet is none the less absolutely smitten with this entity.
Meantime... the object of his affections inflicts itself on a 16yo to manifest itself as a child for whom he seems also to have an unhealthy obsession.
He sees things that other people don't see and hears voices other people don't hear...
I'm gonna go with, "What is Schizoaffective Disorder, Alex?"
Rumsfeld made me laugh. Great job, Bri!
There was an anthropology student who once went to some church with a video camera. The student then later claimed to witness miraculous events like people levitating, etc. But the video taken there showed absolutely nothing special. I just forget who the student was, or from whom I heared this anecdote.
Christians love when you suggest that maybe Jesus was demon possessed. I mean, he supposedly levitated and spoke in strange tongues.
Fun fact they studied the phonetics of the "tongues" these charlatans often speak and it's all made up words and gibberish from their native language, not a foreign or ancient language to be seen
@@Hyper_Fox06 I mean, the video mocked him, but the priest actually said Latin, Aramaic, and ancient Greek. He's a priest trained in the 90s. They know how to speak Latin, and the other two languages are what some of the Biblical texts were originally written in. They're all still studied today, so it's certainly possible for someone to speak them and have a priest understand them. That's the one thing this video didn't do well with its critique.
So, is this the medieval version of, “the cia is beaming mind control waves into my brain so I wear this special foil hat,”?
Wow. Brian rendered mute. Mark this day on the calendar.
You'll need to run a seance to get Rummy on the line.
3:15 BriBri is speechless. Perhaps the first time EVER????
What does priest just described is a scene right out of a Pentecostal church service, the only thing he left out was snakes 🤣
They must be speaking in high elvish. What language could be more unknown to us than that.
3:12 - 3:21 is the only appropriate response to that nonsense! HAHAHAHAHA!
So grateful you still upload to this channel, i remember when the algorithm showed me you back in 09 when i was a teenager bingewatching hitch debates. Absolutely love your style and how witty you are, inspirational af
Well they say when it comes down to pump and ceremonies and making long dead languages sound important, they say, Nobody Does it Better Than the Catholics.
*Pomp.
Unless you're talking about how they pump their adherents full of nonsense. 😏
@@StoneE4 Yes you're right about that.
Does that guy think every (horror) film ever made is a documentary 🤔
Oooh, we get the second *and* soon the 3rd part in this 1 part series! I am truly blessed! Or possessed! Not sure which.
Demon possession should be a personal choice, punishable by the same lax gun laws.
Love your videos Beelzebub!!
I wish someone had shown this video to Lori Vallow, Alex Cox, and Chad Daybell before they started murdering people who were supposedly possessed by demons.
"God allows it to happen." Notice the weasel wording. Of course, if something bad happens (like, say, a deadly pandemic) our Padre here will simply say "God didn't cause it."
God is a douchebag
If you put a goldfish in a mailbox, it WILL go to heaven, providing it has the proper postage.

I'm a demon and I was deeply offended by Father Lambert. #geicocaveman
Very very funny. I hope Cameron sees this.
With all of the people that have phones with the capacity to take videos, why do not we have videos of this crap
Well, we have lots of video. I've even personally seen a whole movie!
People actually believe this??? Holy shit.
Of course, American culture is deeply poisoned by stupid ass ancient ideology, the population of flat earthers keeps going up too, embarrassing af!
Everyone should send their children to this man to be taught correctly?
Why don't the demons do bad things? Like if they levitate, why didn't they kick the father in the face? :-)
Let’s go back to the story of the Garden in Genesis. Consider there are four characters. Adam, a man. Eve, a woman. Yahweh, a creator god. And Lucifer (or satan). Yahweh and Adam are chatting. Yahweh tells Adam and Eve that they can eat of the fruit of any tree in the garden, except one, because if they eat from that tree, they will die. Later Satan is hanging around and says, “it’s not like that. It’s not going to happen…” to Eve. So Eve (the first scientist I might add) tests the hypothesis. Adam sees her do it and does it himself.
To review, Yahweh made a claim. Eve tested it and the claim was false. Adam tested it too.
Yahweh figures out something is different so he asks Adam and Eve about it.
Adam tells the truth and says “I saw her do it, so I did it.”
Eve says, “the snake (Satan) told me that I wouldn’t die..”
What we see here is an all knowing god, make claim, that was false. The first person to tell the truth about the situation was Satan. The first scientist ever (to test the hypothesis) was Eve. Everyone but Yahweh told the truth in the garden of eden.
So now I’m being told that the devil/satan is going to deceive me…
I know that people will defend Yahweh’s lie by saying, “he meant spiritual death..” or some such nonsense.
The problem is, a lie by omission, is still a lie.
Yahweh the politician.. when caught lying, just changed the meaning of the words.
I agree with this premise and have for years except for the detail that there is nothing at all to indicate the serpent was anything other than your average garden (of eden) variety talking serpent. If it was Satan then Yahweh cursing it to crawl on it's belly in the dust for all time didn't seem to take according to the rest of the book. There's very little Satan in the BuyBull, but there are a couple of other characters co-opted into the job to pad him out. The serpent being the first.
@@craigjomaia I have no issue with what you said. Realistically (while talking about a myth) wether it was a talking snake or Satan or Loki, doesn’t really change anything. I’d really like it if it was Loki though, variants rock…
Everett Vinzant, but wait, the serpent wasn't satan, just the most clever of the animals yahweh made. And, there were 2 trees. The tree of knowledge and the tree of life! So, adam and eve were not created to live forever, which negates the christian claim that sin brought death, or that god lied when he said they would die that day! Plus, if the fruit gave knowledge, the dumb woman would have immediately grabbed from the tree of life, for immortality! Why would being naked suddenly bug her? None of it makes sense, except to primitive people . Though I loved your point. 👍🥰✌🌈
@@laurajarrell6187 thanks, I was just happy coming up with Eve being the first scientist. I’m not particularly attached to being right about a myth, so as you have done, take my analysis with a grain of salt….
@@EverettVinzant Oh I most certainly did, loved the Loki bit, also, lol. I replied to your point, mostly because it's a pet peeve of mine, how believers don't even know their own myth! I took it in the spirit of good fun argument! They get so serious about it, yet don't bother reading it themselves. The top apologists make this mistake! LMAO at them.👍🥰✌🌈
Wait... did he say that a person picked up a desk chair over their head as if that's some impressive feet. So what if the person didn't even weight over 100 pounds that's still not impressive or unbelievable. Desk chairs are incredibly light. Even as child I could do what he described and I couldn't even lift more than 15 pounds. Desk chairs are rather awkward to lift because of the swivel but they aren't heavy at all. If you told me it was a lazy boy that would be more impressive if they some how could lift that with one hand.
So if my butt comes off the chair I must be levitating. I gotta share this secret with David Blaine!
How long will it take until you can find almost no one who believes in demons and other such nonsense? Will it ever happen? 200 years from now? 500? 2000?
Back when I still considered myself a Christian, my priest said the reason for my doubts was that I was being oppressed by a demon. Convenient explanation for unbelief, right?
I was told pretty much daily, that my questions and scepticism were the work of Satan. Not some mere demon
... I was so special I got personal attention from the devil himself.
Little did they know, they were right...
Bwahahahaha! 😈🤣🤣🤣
I was once told that I was possessed by a demon, but nothing weird or crazy happened so I guess it got bored and went looking for someone more interesting.
I think I have him. Let me know if you want him back. Sorry but I’ll only ship to the CONUS. ;-)
