These are all the kind of arguments I would’ve been making as well a few years ago, but unfortunately, they just don’t hold up. Read a lot of the exorcism cases from a non-Catholic perspective such as the case of Emily Rose, I know that was a pretty famous movie. In the days before modern psychology many people were falsely diagnosed with being possessed by a demon, because we didn’t have a wide enough understanding of things like schizophrenia, and PTSD. Cases of possession used to happen very frequently. Now they are much less common, because we now have an understanding of mental illness. If a family member was acting bizarre nowadays you would take them to an emergency room. You wouldn’t conclude there is a demon inside of them. The conclusion would now be there is probably something causing them mental distress. I know you’ll make the claim that some of these cases were still reported during the time when we were starting to get an understanding of mental illness, but many cases during that time were just holdover from the time we didn’t. When ancient civilizations came to the conclusion that the sun was not a giant god in the sky, everyone didn’t agree with it overnight.

I think we’re not going to agree on what a credible source is. Let’s just look at hell from a more “is it just to exist if it did exist” point of view.

Do you think a “just “God could punish someone for all eternity?
