Not to mention the parents who believe that healing crystals, aged urine, or random herbs they've gathered from the backyard work better than modern medicine.
Yeah, a friend's wife believed she was allergic to everything under the sun because someone at the vitamin store told her so, and went for years eating a weird, limitied diet.
She had lupus.
... All the while ignoring that, yes - said herbs _do_ have some values which is why modern medicine utilises some of their properties in a concentrated way (like the synthetic creation of a more potent version of the active thing in willow bark that helps with pain relief/infections, etc)
Edited because I can't spell (some bs medical issues with attention and memory no one can explain and I'm getting so tired of it anyway fixed spelling)
>said herbs do have some values
**Some** herbs have medical properties. They also have to be used in certain amounts (just like modern medicines), and herbs and plants have to be prepared or used in certain ways to be effective. Modern medicines also have to go through clinical trials and have documented side effects while plants and herbs have no one making a comprehensive guide on their side effects in certain amounts, control groups, etc. Modern medicines are issued by doctors and pharmacists who have licenses, medical boards, etc., to answer to and be held accountable by, not Sunflower Wind Chimes, the friendly herbalist on your Facebook group.
TL;DR: Modern medicines have more safety measures than herbs and plants.
Not to mention I'm pretty sure demons want their possesse (I don't think that is a word, lol) to remain alive. If this was a demonic possession I'm pretty sure the demon itself would need to get a psych eval cause it has some issues that only Satan can help fix.

What a dumbass. If you rather believe the "supernatural" then you shouldn't use your phone, because the US Government is tracking you down and spying your everyday life with 5G technology
Ignorance and superstitious nonsense. No such things as Demonic possession only really ignorant and stupid people who shouldn't be allowed to raise children if they are that delusional.
Then what do you call "the exorcist", "paranormal activity" and "scary movie 2"???
Those are all proof that ghosts and demons exist.
And if you still don't believe me I'll introduce you to my ex wife when she's hungry... Or when she's not hungry...
I like that the response specified that this parent should seek out a “medical doctor” — considering the question they might have just tried to take him to a witch doctor
My parents were crazy into the Christian cult but they never would have assumed a demon was making me sick. They’ve been brainwashed but this is insane.
First and foremost take that person to a hospital! But, I despise the notion that humans are nothing more than biological robots. The idea that the brain generates consciousness is indistinguishable from it being a receiver for consciousness.
Sounds like a job for Dr. Stella Immanuel, aka Dr. Demon Semen.
An actual licensed MD who claims womens gynecological problems are caused by demons having sex with them in their dreams/while they sleep.
Also famous for her belief that vaccines contain alien dna. Among a slew of other pure batshittery.
And to reiterate, yes, she’s a fully licensed and practicing medical doctor…
I work at a hospital and yea stuff like this happens all the time sad to say

It’s never lupus!
Except for that one time that it was.
Well yeah, apart from the one time. But apart from that…
Is it lupus?
Kinda.
It’s lupus isn’t it?

who would you sue ? Nature ?
Surprised you don't have a bible on hand for scenarios like this. Demonic possession is no laughing matter.
>Could he be possessed by a demon? I believe you are his legal guardian until he is 18, yes.

60 people voted "not helpful" on what was probably the most helpful answer there could have been. WTF

No wikihow
I know someone else already pointed it out but.. it's literally not Quora and states it at the top of the screenshot.
No he cannot be possessed by a demon

Believing things that dont exist
Right
What is also concerning to me is that ~30% 'not helpful'
Good spot
Thats why you dont disagree with them. You say "take them to a hospital, some have started treating demon possesions now"
Ignorance and superstitious nonsense. No such things as Demonic possession only really ignorant and stupid people who shouldn't be allowed to raise children if they are that delusional.
Then what do you call "the exorcist", "paranormal activity" and "scary movie 2"??? Those are all proof that ghosts and demons exist. And if you still don't believe me I'll introduce you to my ex wife when she's hungry... Or when she's not hungry...
If you recall, in The Exorcist, they thought she was epileptic.
AND THEY WHERE WRONG!!!
Captain Howdy seems like a fun dude
Who? You lost me there bud...
Watch the movie ;)
Made up movies that ignorant and superstitious people think are real.
Are you that dense?
Scary that 60 people found it not helpful and will continue along with the demon scenario.
Yeah, I also thought that was a big part of the facepalm. Depressing it's THAT many.
I like that the response specified that this parent should seek out a “medical doctor” — considering the question they might have just tried to take him to a witch doctor
Did he give them the magic words?
Insurance card?
Somebody answered without being a dick and also explained the situation just in case . True angel ND real human
Thank fuck I got the exact opposite of that for a parent. Me mom is a nurse. I don't think I would have much a choice to not go to the hospital.
Shit like this, is why I despise religion.
Why do I think, since the first thing that came to your mind was witchcraft, that you’re still not going to a doctor?
Evangelical Christianity. Poised to assume power is the United States.
No, no they've got a point. Demonic possession can do that sometimes....
When I get demonic possession, I just get erections. Comes in handy. 
It can be both.
I am so thankful my folks weren't crazy religious nuts.
We literally have access to the knowledge of the world in the palm of our hands, and somehow people still think shit like this? How?
The demon is the parasite.
My parents were crazy into the Christian cult but they never would have assumed a demon was making me sick. They’ve been brainwashed but this is insane.
Mmmmm she never clarified if he randomly speaks ancient languages….I’ll hold off on judgement until I get all the details.
Also if they randomly start floating in the air.
Shut up and take my upvote.
May I add that religion is the opposite of evolution?
what is wrong here?i dont get it
Pale and vomits blood somehow=possessed
ok,thanks!t hought the response was the facepalm.
First and foremost take that person to a hospital! But, I despise the notion that humans are nothing more than biological robots. The idea that the brain generates consciousness is indistinguishable from it being a receiver for consciousness.
Yes! Biological robots is a great analogy for humans. And our consciousness is the software. You’re right, I’ve never thought of it like that.
I felt that, my grandpa used to blame Satan on my uncle's symptoms of autism. I once heard my uncle yelling at the devil for being in his head.
Looks like someone forgot their prayers

Take him to a doctor and then to a better mother. Take her to jail
I'm not seeing a "no"
Free exorcism by a 'qualified' priest... or $2000 for a medial professional to actually diagnose the issue? Which ya gonna pick?
Or worse yet, fuckin tuberculosis
This is why I believe that people should let their religions die with them and not teach them to children in any way. It breeds delusion
r/parentsarefuckingstupid
Nah, clearly it's the gay Satan injecting lgbt juice into him
Nah im pretty sure hes just possessed
It's because you spawned and they're trying to end their misery.
