These facts are beyond dispute. <br /><br />Second, once the exorcism was under way, the room was wet (so tasers could not be used safely); full of shouting stamping men wielding crutches, taiaha, and other traditional weapons. <br /><br />If you think this should be illegal - and that laws should be enforceable - <b>then you must support armed state police intervention to "save" people undergoing such procedures</b>. Frankly I can't think of a more lefty idea than a bunch of stormtroopers smashing their way into private houses with guns drawn. Then think of the surveillance that would be needed to prevent this. t is literally Orwellian, the most Politically Correct intervention imaginable, completely abrogating individual responsibility, the separation of church and state. respect for private property, and for consent<br>Moses family or estate may have a civil claim if the exorcists were unable to provide service they offered: this can ideally be tested in private mediation or arbitration. Similar, if Moses had a health insurance cover, or some contract with a deporgramming group or something, they could legitimately deploy private force to remove her from that situation. <br>Exorcism may be immoral and repugnant. <b>But surely home invasions by nanny-state police stormtroopers to stop exorcisms are much much worse.</b>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-79065401249953426812009-08-18T07:33:09.419+12:002009-08-18T07:33:09.419+12:00Why did anonymous call Moses a 'she'?

She fought for life but by then her killers were really getting into their stride and they were not paying much attention to her plight..<br /><br />The deal is they killed her. That's of interest as there is the likelyhood that her life was taken against her consent. She may have voluntarily participated in the exorcism but the question remains, did she volunteer herself for killing? If she did not, then it is necessary for the state to get involved. As a first step it becomes necessary to investigate what occurred, who was responsible, or not (as the case may be). Then it needs to be determined what to do about it.<br /><br />LGM <br /><br />PS use a tag-lineLGMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-37647003752762141822009-08-17T23:29:47.962+12:002009-08-17T23:29:47.962+12:00Moses was an adult at the time of her exorcism, an...Moses was an adult at the time of her exorcism, and was willing to engage in the process.<br /><br />No-one has suggested any intent to do physical harm.<br /><br />Once again, please explain what objective role the <b>state</b> has in such a situation and why?<br /><br />Or - like many lefties - do you believe the state must enforce Atheism?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-57739849313976955702009-08-17T19:20:27.025+12:002009-08-17T19:20:27.025+12:00Good one, Anon.
