scary...

So I was just checking out the news and looked this story up. It particularly caught my attention because I just finished reading "Piercing the Darkness" by Frank Peretti. But here is a part of the article:

"But they [the woman's attorneys] said she suffered from severe postpartum psychosis and, in a delusional state, believed Satan was inside her and was trying to save them from hell."

So I understand this is the media and they would never print anything like this, but I wonder how many people actually understand what most likely happened here. There is such a thing as demon-possession, the Bible states clearly many times that Jesus and His disciples cast demons out of people. Are we just trying to kid ourselves into thinking that that kind of thing only happened in Jesus day? Heck no!! After Jesus death Satan is working all the harder because he knows his time is limited. The battle is on. So are we going to realize that we are in spiritual warfare or just come up with more fancy names like "postpartum psychosis" so that people think it is just a medical thing? Seriously, I bet even alot of Christians believe that crap.

Oh so yeah the connection to "Piercing the Darkness" is that in that book a woman had drowned her only child in a bathtub because of a demon possessing her. So yeah it was just kinda jarring to realize that that kind of thing (even the same exact situation) doesn't just happen in novels.

Anyways, I think I am done venting for now. This blog definately started off as a more informative thing, and definately turned into more of a rant about people being naive. So yeah I'm done.
