Now I don’t know about you, but if some yahoo came along, roused my swine herd and made pig soup out of my livestock, I would really be pissed. They claimed this cat was without sin?

The point is we have examples aplenty of demon possession, and we are told that demons are the counterparts of the angels, the third of them who went bad, over to the dark side, etc. So… why the asymmetry? Why don’t the good angels ever possess people? Think about it, that might be a kick! The good angels have had all this time to learn stuff, then they could possess us, and we might become instant skilled programmers or something, heeeehehehehheeee. Perhaps that was what was going on when the apostles started speaking in tongues, ja? But that’s boring: we have computers which can do that now.

I want to go to a reverse séance, conjure up some good angels, see if I can be possessed by one. Or several of them, like the porcine Legion team, but their counterparts, the good guys, ja?
