Maybe it’s my demon recoiling from these hideous people, or maybe it’s my rational mind – I expect it depends on your definition of rationality. The Teenage Exorcists are the brainchild of evangelist Bob Larsen, and led by him and his daughter, they are taking the depressed and repressed areas of the world by storm, casting out demons and saving peoples lives – all on stage and filmed, and with a shitload of makeup on of course (Bob could really use some eye makeup to emphasize those evil little piss-holes). VICE has put together an interesting two-part series on these modern-day crusaders (below), following them to extremely depressed areas of Ukraine where they cast the demons out of drug users and abused women. According to Larsen and the TE’s, demons are sexually transmitted, especially when one suffers sexual abuse, when the victim is abused by Satan as well as their abuser. Why are fundamentalist Christians so obsessed with sex? The phrase “sexually transmitted demons” is actually uttered in this documentary. Does’t it seem to make more sense to cast demons out of the abusers, rather than further disempowering and victimizing the people they abuse by accusing them of being possessed? Oh, except that would mean that high ups in various prominent religions would have to be exorcised for being abusive, lecherous, pedophilic creeps, and that wouldn’t do because they are the experts on keeping Satan out, and then who would we trust with our souls? So let me get this straight – a demon is transferred to you through sex, then you become impregnated with it, then you give birth to it during the exorcism. Because those demon noises sound a lot like me in labor. The Teenage Exorcists are gaining fame and probably fortune in the US for hitting people with bibles and fancy crosses, and meanwhile the Satanic Temple is being persecuted for peacefully protesting homophobia. Although to me this is a bunch of malarkey and gobbledegook, I would make one request of Bob Larsen and the Teenage Exorcists – can we see a follow up episode with you casting demons out of some people who are legitimately possessed, the Koch brothers? I would really enjoy watching those two devils being pummeled by bibles.
