I’m not sure if this was a literal invitation, but I’ll poke my head out.

It depends on how you interpret scripture. I was raised in a “non-literalist” faith, and some of these beliefs have come to interpret references to “demons,” and what not, being misconstrued as mental illnesses. I believe Richard Dawkins coined the phrase “God of the Gaps” which is not too dissimilar to what is happening in this case.

So the non-faithful, along with the faithful, could still be afflicted, technically, however I’m fairly confident mental health treatment may be better for them over “driving out the demon” so to speak. Though some denominations would call it heresy for me to say that. Lmao.

As for Tucker… I’m skeptical he cares for the Word. He certainly doesn’t act as though he does, in my view.

As I understand it, Carlson wasn't much of a man of faith before this either.

Your atheist ass is inviting people in you say?

do the demons have large knots?

Colombian here - as you might know, most people here are catholic.

A bit of story.

My mother says her eldest brother was like the evil on earth. He raped her younger sisters, used to beat up all of them – his younger brother grew up with serious mental issues because of that, and now we are having issues trying to get him into an asylum because, again, third world problems - stole the house and land of their parents (which wasn't a lot, but left my mother and her sisters with nothing when their father died) and even treated violently my grandmother. I never got to know my grandparents because they died when my mother was young.

So my mother says one night my grandmother was really ill and this person (I have never seen him, not even in pictures) arrived home and beat her up and went to sleep. Then allegedly "the spirits" ("las almas") came when he was asleep and beat him up so hard he screamed and woke everyone up - like they could see how "the spirits" lifted him across the room and hit him violently, but never could see any of those "spirits".

A few weeks or months after that my grandmother died and all of my aunts had to get miserable jobs trying to survive and this bastard still showed up from time to time to steal the few bucks they could earn.

Eventually all of them (except my uncle) got married and all of them but the elder sister never saw him ever again.

Now I'm atheist and don't believe in this kind of stuff, but the saying is that "the souls" do that kind of thing to really awful people. So if Carson's incident is true (and if "the souls" exist and are able to do that), now you may have a possible explanation for that.
