After watching The exorcism of Emily Rose last week it I looked on IMDB for its ratings and info on it as it's based on a true story.
After a couple of minutes googling I found it's based on a German woman called Anneliese Michel google search results I also found a recording on youtube of the actual exorcism http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4n9vK0_mdk
I don't believe in god and the devil but this made me think, what if there really is a heaven and hell?
If you listen to that sound clip above (its a few minutes long and probably not for the faint of heart) you hear the priest asking who he is talking to inside Anneliese Michel and he talks to 3 different "people" one of them being a priest that went to "hell" for doing his priest duties badly.
What are your opinions? Please don't fill this thread full of "fake" or stuff like "when you die, you die" etc as I'm looking for an open minded discussion, although we all have our beliefs and if you believe when you die, you just cease to exist and there is no such thing as a soul or spirit to go anywhere, explain why.

sorry couldnt resist
but in all seriousness, i think its a mental ie the 'possessed' person believes they are these different people. Also as for the heaven and hell thing, depending on which way you look at what you do to go to heaven and what you do wrong to go to hell, heaven for me will be a very boring place, all the fun people will be in hell....imo

I cant find on wiki where it says she was mentally ill, only this

After 10 months of unsuccessful psychiatric treatments, they gave up on medical treatment, relying solely on the exorcisms for healing.
10 months of treatment should have solved something (although it was the 70's so maybe not, was probably LSD in her medicine) but still you'd think the medicine would have solved something.

True, although I'm more curious as to peoples thoughts on demonic possession heaven and hell opposed to just religion being a load of crap.

The fact she has Epilepsy, and displays alot of symptoms of someone being mentally ill. The only reason they cried possesion is she was bought up in a Catholic school so brainwashed from a young age she would hae been exposed to all sorts of things to create suggestive behaviour in her mind in an aura or hypnotised state also

This is the kind of discussion I was looking for
Surely epilepsy isn't enough to write her off as a nut job though and the symptoms of being mentally ill could possibly come with the possession.
