Short film Ivy League Exorcist: The Bobby Jindal Story

[scoobiedavis]

based on real events

1. The religious quasi-Christian zealotry and woo at the heart of so much Republican insanity has to be exposed...it is real.

American Christian Mullahs are exponentially more a threat to American ideals than Iranian Muslim Mullahs.

Obviously.

2. The acting in this is terrible

And why didn't they find someone who was Indian-American to play Bobby Jindal?

3. What he witnessed was a self created psyco drama.

Fundamentalis do it all the time...it promotes group cohesiveness essential to all cults.

4. Is this a joke? It is even more ridiculous than Jindal's actual description of the event.

When I read Jindal's description of the supposed exorcism, it is obvious to me that, if the events actually did occur anything like Jindal's description, the young woman was having a seizure.

Jindal himself states: "Suddenly, Susan emitted some strange guttural sounds and fell to the floor. She started thrashing about, as if in some sort of seizure."

Well, duh. Seizures can be caused by physical or emotional stress. Awakening from a tonic-clonic (grand mal) seizure is terrifying. Basically, your brain short circuited and it takes a while to recover those connections. So, particularly the first time you have such a seizure, you don't know what happened, you don't know where you are, and it may take a while to recognize the people around you. You might regain some consciousness several minutes before you even know who you are. Of course you are terrified and trying to escape from people who seem to be attacking you is a rational response under the circumstances. I have epilepsy, which is how I know what the experience can be like from the inside.

Jindal and his friends did not exorcise a demon. They deprived a person with a serious medical condition of medical care for an extended length of time.

5. But... She recovered, didn't she???

It says at the end of the film that no cancerous cells were discovered in her brain after the event. And so, the treatment worked - no matter how outlandish and un-orthodox it was. You guys should be happy that she recovered from her brain tumor, but instead, all you could do was gripe about her denying herself conventional treatment. The point is: She was healed - Hallelujah, Praise the Lord!

It's videos like these that provide you anti-religious trolls on DU the opportunity to get out, come together, exorcise the demons of primitive religious superstition, and strengthen some cultish group cohesiveness of your own!

6. No farts were harmed during the making of this film...

7. My favorite part is Susan telling that Alice was masturbating over J. Danforth Quayle.

Nobody would make that shit up.

8. Self Proclaimed Apostle Bobby Jindal does nothing to get medical help for anyone. He is

Against ACA and Expanded Medicaid.

Encephalitis or brain inflammation brought on by malnutrition or antigens from infections or induced infection/vaccine antigens, is sometimes seen in what Rain Apostles call, demonic possession.

The Christ Apostolic Church appoints Prophets, Apostles and the Anointed One/Ted Cruz to over see the workings of Christ even though it is not a Protestant Christian Church but a fundamentalist Rain Movement.
