Demonic possession, what's its contribution to mankind?

Dear Neeeel and Aaron, as you have this great attachment to stay and participate in my threads, please choose anything at all, but one specific point, you want me to exchange thoughts with you about, but relevant to the thread.
Dear everyone here, thanks for your presence.
Now, I am going to request you, oh silent majority, to propose something from your part, in re demonic possession and its contribution to mankind, the phenomenon that is.
Then we can work together to come to concurrence on our differing takes on the issue.
Now, if you are wondering whether demon possession has existence or not, please think on truths, facts, logic, and the history of ideas; so, ready, to think on truths, facts, logic, and the history of ideas?
Here goes, but it is my position, you can and should add your contribution, that word again, contribution - yes, everything has a contribution to man's understanding of existence and the why there is existence and also the irrefutable truth and fact, that the default status of things in the totality of being is existence.
Here goes: You see, oh silent majority, there is already in the vocabulary of English, the term demonic possession, wherefore people who do read at all, anything and everything readable and available to people who do read at all, they know what is being published or what they hear, when the term, demonic or demon possession is spoken of.
That term refers to a phenomenon, an event that is observable, so it exists, the event or occurrence or happening, or the fact, it exists, namely:
That there is a human who exhibits a behavior to which people who do know the term demonic or demon possession [henceforth demon possession to be brief] ascribe the word and concept of demon possession.
Of course, insofar as the term demon possession is concerned, it has to do with the observable phenomenon of a human displaying the behavior; and, pray, what is that behavior?
I will go to Wikipedia which is the most accessed internet online reference for all kinds of concepts and objects humans talk about, at least talk about if not disquisition on.
Quote:So, please, oh silent majority, be guarded against self-perverted liars opinion makers who insist that there is no existence to demon possession, for whatever objective they are seeking to accomplish with you, oh silent majority.
… [demonic possession] makes them utter blasphemy, speak tongues they have never learned, discovers to them unknown secrets, and inspires them with the knowledge of the obscurest things in philosophy or theology.[A 1] Descriptions of demonic possessions often include erased memories or personalities, convulsions (i.e. epileptic seizures or “fits”) and fainting as if one were dying.[1] Other descriptions include access to hidden knowledge (gnosis) and foreign languages (xenoglossy), drastic changes in vocal intonation and facial structure, the sudden appearance of injuries (scratches, bite marks) or lesions, and superhuman strength. Unlike in channeling, the subject has no control over the possessing entity and so it will persist until forced to leave the victim, usually through a form of exorcism.

We are talking about the phenomenon as described above in Wikipedia, it exists and everything starting with the central character, the victim of demon possession, the circumstances of place, time, etc., all the five w’s and one h: namely, who, what, where, when, why, and how, reporters of news events write about, they all exist in objective reality outside our mind.
So, oh silent majority, be you also eloquent with your thinking on the subject, or my thread here, Demonic possession, what’s its contribution to mankind.
I am at this point concerned with how to help the victim work out some monetary income for himself, for his own upkeep, as while he is a victim, still he has expenses to shoulder, or in brief, still he has a life to pursue, and make the most of.
Happy thinking and writing, contribute your thoughts to this thread, and we will have the mutual pleasure of this most peculiar delight of thinking humans, the investigation of all kinds of phenomenon of nature and of man.
So, again, happy thinking and writing!

Practical is the adjective corresponding to the verb and noun, practice.
If you have a practice like in the domain of law i.e. rules imposed by government to be observed by the populace, it means that you have an activity with your time and effort to earn a living, by telling people what are the rules you have to observe in any act you want to undertake, like for example, you want to import a party drug called ecstasy, or build a hut in New York Central Park, that is an example of a practice, practice in the domain of law, and most important, you earn money by which you can pursue anything and everything not prohibited by law, to enjoy life.
So, this thread is about how demon possession, the phenomenon which is impacting on a human, can and should be and is a contribution, a practical contribution to mankind at large, starting with the demon possession victim himself. for a start.
What about me, what am I doing with starting threads in internet forums?
No, I am not into earning money, but into enjoying life,
That is my way of enjoying life, one of its pleasures, for myself with internet discussions; specifically I love to find out how people think, and in internet forums posters and readers of their posts are into thinking; though in fact there are many who do not think but emote, i.e. display their emotions of anger, hatred, envy, fear, pride, vanity, etc., instead of thinking on truths, facts, logic, and the history of ideas, to come to knowledge or more enhancement of knowledge.
Back to the topic of this thread, what is the contribution to mankind in the phenomenon of demon possession afflicting a human.
First, I propose we all think on ways and means to help the victim to make a living from his peculiar condition, as there are peoples who love i.e. are thrilled to view such a phenomenon as a demon possession.
Happy thinking and writing!
