Exorcisms Are Preposterous (and so is your religion)

I was glancing through the news and came across a hilarious article (link).

"Citing a shortage of priests who can perform the rite, the nation's Roman Catholic bishops are sponsoring a conference on how to conduct exorcisms."

"More than 50 bishops and 60 priests signed up to attend."

As an atheist, and an anti-monotheist, I find this absolutely fucking ridiculous. Faith healing is one thing, and I can kind of understand it because if you think you're healthy, or you believe your god is helping you, the human body can repair itself. But having some probably pedophile priests expel imaginary demons out of you using questionable methods is rather disgusting to me.

It reminds me of the days when mental illness was treated was ice baths, induced vomiting, bleeding out 'bad blood', and insulin shock.
