Whoever heard of a Buddist, Muslim or Pagan exorcist casting out anything?
Me, Kazuaki Kinoshita and unfortunately, Tomomi Maishigi (and now, you!)
quote:
News reports said the two men poured water over her as an "exorcism" with the father holding the girl down while the monk chanted sutras...
The monk, who belongs to a religious group deriving from a Buddhist sect, said that the girl was possessed by an evil spirit, the private network TBS said.

Re: Exorcists
This appears to be one non-sequitur isolated failed attempt to cast out anything but the life of the victim via physical abuse.
It has equal evidence for its efficacy as any other isolated failed attempt to cast out anything, including the Christian ones. How do you know the attempt failed? How do you know it wasn't successful but also fatal?
Your strawman implicating me as an exorcist is unfounded.
It is as unfounded as it is non-existent. I was implicating that by being exposed to a Buddhist exorcism story that I had provided the link for, that you have heard of a Buddhist exorcist.
To have read it your way, I would have to also be implicating me and the victim as being exorcists as well.
Edited by Modulous, : No reason given.
