Should the demons be banished by priests, or should the possesed be sectioned and brainwashed by the quacks at the asylum?
Or should the accused be judged on his or her behaviour by a jury and suitably punished by the judicial system? (After he has done his acting out and found a victim or broken the law.)

Possessed by demons? Often an accusation levied against people who do not fit societies current specification for optimum citizen.
Those that actually commit crime should be judged as any others by the legal system. Let us end the insane insanity excuse for evading responsibility for crime.

It's actually very difficult to get exorcism by a priest.
For the Church to admit that someone is possessed, they first have to admit that there ARE such things as demons which can possess an unwilling soul - which goes against their teaching...
I move more towards sectioning than anything else.
At least the public are safe from the possessed carrying out the demons wishes; and should the demon move on and UN-possess the soul - they can be reassessed and ultimately released!

Demons (or any other spiritual entity) are the realm of priests/clergy, of whatever religion the person practices.
Mental illness is the province of doctors and psychologists.
Don't confuse one with the other. Any competent professional, in either field, will ensure that they are not making a mistake and treating one like the other.
As far as those who break the law, that's in the realm of the criminal courts. If the jurisdiction (state or federal) doesn't recognize insanity (mental defect) or possession as a valid legal defense, then it's not an excuse. Regardless of whether it's true.

in case you have no longer committed the sin yet yet are thinking approximately it, there remains time to no longer do it. Demons, in my humble opinion, like to hook up with people extremely while utilising Ouija boards, consulting astrologists, having a seance, chatting with physic's, and working in the direction of the darkish arts. So once you're doing or have carried out any of those issues it is possible that demons have linked to you and it takes prayer and in some situations prayer from varied people. in case you do no longer want help and revel interior the demons surrounding then you you definately extremely are not a Christian so i'm unsure whether you needed the help you ought to get it. My suggestion could be to repent of your sins and via repenting artwork on no longer repeating them. Love in Christ, Michelle

We've been trying to get the Demons out of the Dems for years, nothing has worked.
I think the judicial system they are so fond of may be needed.

Take them to the loony bin, give them treatment for whatever mental problem they have and also give them a priest to remove the 'demon'

There is no proof of this phenomenon other than bad PG-13 movies and bullsh*t documentaries, they are mentally ill, not possessed.
