Demonic possession is fundamental Christian doctrine. Part of Jesus’ earthly ministry consisted of casting out demons. I find it hard to understand some of the gratuitous cruelty and hatred which afflicts the world except in terms of demonic activity.

Along those lines, the original connotation of “blessing” is empowerment and naming.

The concept is that which you name you empower. For this reason, I will not ever, either in speech or in print refer to the current occupant of the White Hut by either his legal name (BS) or the name he chose for himself at age 18 (BHO)

Rather, I find it appropriate to refer to him in the political context as “The Usurper” and in all other contexts as “Legion.”

I find both appellations descriptive and accurate.
