You are a psychiatrist.

So is Lynch just possessed or an actual demon?
How did Coast to Coast miss this guy?
Do you think most of the Democratic Party is stupid or demon-possessed?
gallagher ? Didn’t smash watermelons ?
Good article.
If Satan and demons are not real, then Jesus is a liar. It is clear that Satan influences many people, to a greater or lesser extent. Otherwise, the world would not have murdered Jesus.
More to the point of the article: when you see large numbers of otherwise sane and rational adults all behaving in the same irrational manner, or all insisting that the same false idea is really true, or all hell-bent on doing the same irrational thing, you are seeing spiritual influence in action.
BTW: the only nation on earth who has an angel overseeing it is Israel (in its several tribes, not just Judah). All the rest of the nations have the spirit of a demon as the highest spiritual power. See Daniel 10:13 and 12:1. Jesus stated that Daniel was a prophet in Matthew 24:15.
If Jesus told the truth, then the challenge is to fully believe what that truth fully implies.
Interesting, thoughtful article. Surprised it was in WAPO.

In a Biblical sense, demons come in through openings left open by believers. Jesus comes in by the door,( your heart) demons come in through windows( your eyes and ears) when you read this language in the Bible. These windows are open when you look at porn, take drugs, drink alcohol, fornicate, ect. You think you are watching porn in secret, but the Holy Spirit is with the Christian watching what you do. That grieves the HS. When evil quenches the HS, evil is able to come in and eventually your sin will be found out and the one that kills, steals, and destroys will have to be removed to get you back to God. Lost people are lost by definition and the devil runs everything in their life. They might say they haven't murdered anyone but the Jesus standard is don't hate anyone or look at a woman with lust. Not raping someone is NOT the standard for God.
The Bible says we are ALL a royal priesthood. We have been given the authority of Jesus in John 17. Each of us that are believers have the authority to call on the name of Jesus to remove the demons. This is a dangerous endevour if you aren't prayed up with fasting. It happens that the spirit will move to you if you aren't careful. Jesus spent much of His ministry casting out demons. Before Jesus, no one could do this, so it was quite astounding to the people. It is folly to say God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow, and believe the demons of Jesus' day are somehow gone today. If you believe Jesus was lying about casting out demons you need to check your salvation. Joel 2 speaks of "locusts" scurrying into windows coming after Israel in the Last Days. This army will be filled with demons. They are here today doing what they do best. How do you explain men in women's bathrooms and leave out demonic spirits lying to the population? The final battle will be the armies of the world aligned against God Himself.(Psm 2) What lying spirit could possibly think they could have a chance to fight God?
There are some that believe the gifts given Paul are somehow gone today. The gifts come with the Holy Spirit so again, you need to check your salvation.
People talk about the "Good News" of the Gospel, but I have to tell you if you can read John 17 and not jump up and down with what Jesus has given you, there is something wrong. To think you have to have someone special to be trained and with incantations splashing Holy Water over the room, that's religion. God has given every believer power over evil in the name of Jesus. The reason the church is suffering today is the fact that not many realize who they are in Christ.
Jesus was an empty vessel, filled completely with the Holy Spirit. He said we would be able to do what He did, even more. If you can't heal the sick, maybe we need to check ourselves to see our level of Spirit living over the flesh. We can do nothing without Him. If you never have prayers answered, maybe our dipstick is a quart low and we need to get filled. Our flesh MUST decrease and the Spirit must increase. Scripture says we are in a spiritual war. We can only fight it and win "in the Spirit". Now get out of your foxhole and go take that hill!
We see the evidence every day in the headlines.
