I suspect that as the numbers of those needing healing wound down the Beatific Amplitude of the beams began to wane because he had to hold the beam onto the congregation members longer and sometimes had to fire it a second time.
There was one left but his demon was of an unusually virulent sort and wouldn't let go. The supplicant approached the dais but the Holy man was exhausted and having trouble standing. Various Elders and assorted assistants gathered on the stage. Arranged in a semi-circle with their left hands raised, they created an array to gather the Omnipotent Ethers and with their right hands they channeled the power into the Holy mans Capacitors of Divinity.
Renewed, the Holy man sprang up and focusing the Celestial through several hammer blows to the mans forehead he pounded the pernicious passenger from the mans soul.
Id guess now that Ive relayed this, we both know what to do should we ever encounter such a situation.
I know you didn't comment on this but, as there are others reading and as this often comes up, this is the reason I have a problem with those who believe that everything will just get better if we put "a good Christian" in office. These people I was telling the story about were quite convinced that they were Christian and I suppose in the simplest and most narrow definition of "those who believe" they are. Are these really the people who should be making decisions for the rest of us?
Someone will say, "Ya but, I mean someone GOOD from [insert religion]." Mhmmm...each version of Christianity, not to mention other religions, is going to have a problem with some of the teaching of the others. For example, I don't care if Santorum believes he is a "good" Catholic, and I don't care how he manipulates the writings of Aquinas, at no point do taxes become Charity, and at no point does God say its acceptable for half my income to be stolen by government so that half of that can be given to the UN to fund child raping missions in Africa and the other half given to some drug dealing ghetto dwelling deadbeat. (Im not anti-Catholic, I would have supported Buchanan. Then again, he didn't believe he was the arbiter of The Word and didn't say he wanted to make specific beliefs law.)
What Im trying to say firstly is "“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.†― C.S. Lewis
Second, I want to make clear Im not against religion at all. Im just looking for a candidate that understands the distinction that they are a politician of this world, not a prophet of the next. The distinction of that which is Ceasars and uses the guidance of His Kingdom to do what is best for all without attempting to codify in law anything specific to any flavor of Christianity.
Picking a prophet for a politician is foolish. Refusing a to support a politician for not being familiar with a specific churches practices is even more foolish.
There may be many reasons to not support Trump in the mind of an individual but, failure to recognize plates isn't one of them.
