Speaker 1: This is a clip from Raised by Giants. You can
Speaker 1: access the entire episode now on our website and all
Speaker 1: podcast platforms.
Speaker 2: This is always going to struck me as odd. Why
Speaker 2: is it only Abrahamic religions that deal with possessions and demons?
Speaker 2: Why are their only Catholic exorcists? Right, You'd think that
Speaker 2: if the Abrahamic religions were correct and true, why would
Speaker 2: supposed demons only mess with the only group of people
Speaker 2: that can cast them out. It really doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 2: Have you ever heard of a Hindu having a demonically
Speaker 2: possessed person that required the Catholic churches blessing for an exorcism?
Speaker 1: No, but the hinders do have rituals where they enact
Speaker 1: where they become the God or goddess. Right, I've seen him.
Speaker 1: I've been there, and I've seen it. It's pretty dramatic.
Speaker 1: But they are possessed by the God, but it's just
Speaker 1: a short lived possession. During the ritual that it's over
Speaker 1: and they're they're back to themselves, and they know that
Speaker 1: they were acting it out and all that, and you know,
Speaker 1: because they studied the god that they were impersonating.
Speaker 2: So No, and I wonder about what about Buddhism. I've
Speaker 2: never heard of a Buddhists requiring the assistance of the
Speaker 2: Catholic Church in regards to someone exercising demons.
Speaker 1: Kind of laughable, actually, yeah. So my theory is that
Speaker 1: the rituals of the Abrahamic religions open up the person
Speaker 1: doing the rituals to demonic attack. I do believe that
Speaker 1: is true. But also all three of these religions, I
Speaker 1: hate to say it, but they're well well known for
Speaker 1: sexual abuse of got people.
Speaker 2: And that's my point, right, Okay, So when's the long
Speaker 2: you heard a Catholic priest walk into a monastery and
Speaker 2: exercise the possessed freaking shinto monk. Never so, you would think,
Speaker 2: by the logic of the Church that the people that
Speaker 2: aren't involved with or believe in the Abrahamic religions would
Speaker 2: be the weakest, okay, in the furthest away from God.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's pretty much what all of Christianity is like.
Speaker 2: Anybody that doesn't believe in Christianity isn't of goden and
Speaker 2: is the farthest away of from God. That's why there's
Speaker 2: all these people trying to convince others to go to
Speaker 2: church and go to read the Bible. You know, why
Speaker 2: isn't anyone else being possessed besides the believers in the
Speaker 2: fundamentalist Abrahamic religions. And is it just a coincidence that
Speaker 2: most sexual abuse scandals out of any religious institution ever
Speaker 2: is the Catholic Church.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The other two are pretty good too, man, don't
Speaker 1: underestimate them. You know, the the video of the synagogue
Speaker 1: in New York, the underground tunnels and all that.
Speaker 2: So I think Judyism as a as an offset of Christianity.
Speaker 1: It's it's still very similar. Yeah, uh, Christianity probably doesn't
Speaker 1: worship the Yellow Him as much, but yeah, I would
Speaker 1: say it isn't stilled from from the rituals and the
Speaker 1: beliefs of those religions stemming down from the Elohim. I mean,
Speaker 1: because if you read the Old Testament, the Elohim who
Speaker 1: made us, supposedly they're fornicators, they're alcoholics, they're I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know, they're murderers, they go out with young women,
Speaker 1: and so I don't know, they appear to me to
Speaker 1: be not very nice. Whatever they are gods or people
Speaker 1: or whatever. And I think that the three abraham religions,
Speaker 1: which were created by them have the same predilections that
Speaker 1: they have, and they're passing it down to their children.
Speaker 1: And it would be interesting to see statistics on, you know,
Speaker 1: the number of sexually abused people around the world, and
Speaker 1: see what religions that they come from. And I'm gonna
Speaker 1: bet you they all come from this religion.
Speaker 2: I'm going to bet that they all come from the
Speaker 2: Abrahamic the three main Abrahamic religions. I mean, that's a
Speaker 2: that's a given. I mean, I'm sure that we could
Speaker 2: probably look it up really quickly and find that information. Well,
Speaker 2: it's just incident that the religion that has the most
Speaker 2: sexual abuse is also has the most demons possessing people
Speaker 2: and has the only utricists in any religion, Like give
Speaker 2: me a break.
Speaker 1: And back when I was young, which was about the
Speaker 1: time the Extorcist got made, I'm very I learned a
Speaker 1: long time ago that when I was around adults when
Speaker 1: I was a kid, to just be quiet and listen
Speaker 1: to him. I could learn a lot more just by
Speaker 1: listening to him and not saying anything. And so I
Speaker 1: would kind of disappear, becoming visible in the room of adults,
Speaker 1: and so I would hear them say stuff. At the time,
Speaker 1: I was six or seven and quite understand what I
Speaker 1: was listening to. But as I got older, you know,
Speaker 1: like ten or twelve, I started realizing that my parents' generation,
Speaker 1: the males in my parents' generation, they made jokes about
Speaker 1: having sex with children all the time. I mean all
Speaker 1: the time. It was. It was an ongoing joke. And
Speaker 1: I remember talking to a member of my parents' generation
Speaker 1: and he told me that it was his right. He said,
Speaker 1: right now. He was like, he was a businessman, salesman,
Speaker 1: lived down the street from me. I was talking to her,
Speaker 1: like ten eleven years old. He said, it's my right.
Speaker 1: I said, what's your right? I said, she's my daughter,
Speaker 1: it's my right. And you know, it really shook me
Speaker 1: up at the time, and I thought, wow, So I
Speaker 1: think it's actually more prevalent than we can imagine. And
Speaker 1: maybe not so much now because it's become taboo, thankfully,
Speaker 1: but in the old days, I think it was maybe
Speaker 1: like higher than fifty percent maybe of the of that generation,
Speaker 1: and and it was taken for granted. And I also
Speaker 1: remember again when I was maybe fourteen years old, I
Speaker 1: was watching TV. It was a congressional hearing for something
Speaker 1: my mom was watching it because she was really into politics.
Speaker 1: And I heard, Remember all of Congress were all men
Speaker 1: in those days. All the senators were all men, right,
Speaker 1: there weren't any women maybe one. And guy got up
Speaker 1: and made a joke about you know, old enough to
Speaker 1: I don't want to say it knocked old enough? Do
Speaker 1: you know what? Old enough to? You know what? Right?
Speaker 1: And it was and everybody laughed, it really laughed. The
Speaker 1: whole Congress thought it was the funniest joke of all.
Speaker 1: And he was making a joke about having sex with
Speaker 1: you know, prepubescent teams essentially, and it was. It was
Speaker 1: so so what I'm saying, it was in the light
Speaker 1: of The Exorcist coming out, we had an underground in
Speaker 1: our society going already. Right, and I'll even go one
Speaker 1: step further. I want to disturb everybody, but I think
Speaker 1: these things have to be said. The Boomers my generations,
Speaker 1: the biggest generations ever lived on earth. Okay, we I
Speaker 1: think it was eighty five million of us in America
Speaker 1: born between nineteen forty six and nineteen sixty four and
Speaker 1: or forty five to sixty four. And the generation had
Speaker 1: just our parents' generation. The men had just come back
Speaker 1: from a two front war of absolute horror, especially the
Speaker 1: Japanese part where my dad was at absolute horror, I
Speaker 1: mean really horror. And so they were coming back from
Speaker 1: horror they were. And when they came back, they came
Speaker 1: back to wealth. Because America started growing really rapidly and
Speaker 1: millions and millions of young people everywhere everywhere, they had
Speaker 1: to change Daylight savings time was created right in there
Speaker 1: for us, so we could go to school in the
Speaker 1: daylight my generation. So all sorts of societal things happened
Speaker 1: because there were such a gigantic generation. Schools were being
Speaker 1: built like everywhere because there was too many kids being born,
Speaker 1: and everything was just flooding over and in the middle
Speaker 1: of all this, so let's say the baby boomer started
Speaker 1: in nineteen forty five. In nineteen sixty six, a song
Speaker 1: came out and it was written by John Phillips, the
Speaker 1: singer of the Laurel Canyon band Mama's in the Papas,
Speaker 1: and he was sung by his best friend, Scott mackenzie,
Speaker 1: and it was a gigantic, huge hit in America at
Speaker 1: the time, and it was a very melodic song and
Speaker 1: it was called San Francisco, and it was basically saying
Speaker 1: to all the kids in America that you all come
Speaker 1: to San Francisco because you're going to meet a gentle
Speaker 1: people there that are waiting for you. Well, it's a
Speaker 1: given kind of in in certain circles where an adult
Speaker 1: will tell a child, don't worry, I'll be gentle with you.
Speaker 1: And this song was completely blatant and nobody saw it.
Speaker 1: And so what happened is all the runaways, all the
Speaker 1: kids without any parents,
