Re: Biblical Exorcism vs Pagan Etc.
come to think of it, i see no rational reason to make the demons go into the pigs. Once the pigs drowned, the demons once again were free to roam for the likeliest host.
Is your supposition consistent with the Bible? The demons begged to go into the pigs because Jesus was not going to allow them to go into nearby humans. If the demons had a roaming option, then why beg to go into the pigs?

Re: Biblical Exorcism vs Pagan Etc.
Reverse psychology. Instead of sending them back to Hell, send them into the pigs where they can escape more easily.
The demons asked to be placed in the pigs and Jesus granted the request. Where is the reverse psychology?

Re: Biblical Exorcism vs Pagan Etc.
I know it was a joke. And if I was dull witted enough not to see that, as I sometimes am, you did provide a smiley, But it seems to me to be a joke with more set up then punchline. I suppose that's my fault.
