Ummm... no. If he's having psychotic episodes after taking drugs (of what kind, you might wonder and ask), he needs a DOCTOR, not a useless prayer.

He's a schizophrenic and doing drugs caused him to have a psychotic break. I'd stay the fuck away if I were you.

The Skeptic Wept
Eight words into the post and I knew where it came from.
Seems to me the only difference between the behavior he's exhibiting and your buds on RR is the nature of what he's hearing. You guys claim to hear voices and see strange apparitions all the time and think nothing (pun intended) of it. I don't wonder he's "open to the gospel" - he knows a kindred spirit when he sees it.

You guys should pray for him, that God will save him, and deliver him as well, because he was very open to the gospel.
This guy seems to be open to anything, if you ask me...

Glory in print, what he did was called "pulling your leg." You Fundies are surprisingly easy to string along.

Please provide proof of the existence of demons. Until then, STFU.

Giving him his pills might be a little more helpful.

I got a better idea. Send him to a psychiatrist so he can get help that'll work

"$100,000 dollars?" You do realize that by using the dollar sign, you don't have to follow the amount with the word dollars, right? Unless you're implying that these demons were promising him payment in double dollars or something.

The man has severe problems. You're hurting, not helping.

Observable Reality, maybe square dollars are the official currency of hell. (ducks rotten tomatoes)
Anyway, it's amazing that demonic possession so closely resembles naturally occurring illnesses. It's as though ... oh, gosh, I know it's silly to think this ... demonic possession didn't happen at all.

This reminds me of that nut who thought his dog was sensing the Rapture when it had a seizure.
It doesn't occur to these guys that there might be a natural explanation.

And you, Glory in print, are morally obligated to report him to the authorities so they can prevent him from hurting himself and/or other people.

Did you witness to him in the corridors or from your own padded cell?

That man has a mental illness. Your stupidity likely has no such excuse.

For fuck's sake take the man to the hospital! If he kills his family you're culpable.

The nutcases generally ARE pretty open to fairy-tales, having a loose grip on reality and such.

I got as far as "demon possessed" and stopped.

Yesterday, I witnessed to a demon possessed person
No, yesterday you witnessed to a paranoid schizophrenic who had a psychotic break after ingesting psychoactive drugs.
This is the exact kind of mentality that keeps people with otherwise controlable mental problems from getting proper care. Instead of advising them to seek mental help you tell them them that they have evil demons inside of them and if the go to church then it will go away. Of course when the go to church and it doesn't go away then you tell them that it's their fault because they don't praise/love/believe in "god" enough. And it's only going to go downhill from there.
Please don't let your sense of religious superiority/piety/exceptionalism trick you into thinking you are doing people like that any favors by telling them your favoured fairy tale.

It's called schizophrenia and it is a perfectly NATURAL explanation, which is real... compared to you supernatural excuse, which isn't.

Sounds like a meth addict whose undergoing psychosis. Beware, folks using methamphetamines who develop psychosis can turn violent in short order. I'd advise taking your bible and legging it, unless of course you really are anxious to find out if there is life after death.

WHY IS HE SO OPEN TO THE GOSPEL IF HE'S POSSESSED BY A FUCKING DEMON?
Ever think of how your logic fails on that count, among others?

It's called schizophrenia, you moron, and you should hand him over to a shrink who can actually help him instead of re-enforcing his psychosis.
