There are two things about this movie that are worth discussing. First, how to explain what happened to emily. Second, whether the pastor is guilty.
Let me talk about the first one.
Can you simply use the devil's possession to explain it? Obviously not. Because whether the devil really exists is still a question. It's like a person who claims to see aliens and is scared half to death, and then starts strange behaviors every day, scaring others half to death, so that he can prove that he really saw aliens. Obviously not true.
Can it be explained by science? Not completely able. In fact, science is not equal to truth. So, whether science is approximately equal to truth, it is a pity that it is not, and a look at the history of the development of science will reveal that sometimes science and truth are just the opposite. Some people say that science can be falsified. If you think about it, it really is. Because science is something established by man to explain natural phenomena. As long as new facts are discovered, scientific theories will develop and old theories will be falsified. Relatively speaking, religion will never be falsified, because religion is not reasonable at all. It only tells you what the truth is. Believe it or not is up to you.
In the movie, the lawyer explaining the tape is far-fetched. After all, the current science is not able to explain everything.
In fact, there is a very simple explanation, which is coincidence. A person, unlike others, is a Catholic. Unlike other Catholics, she is a patient with epilepsy. Unlike other epilepsy patients, she also suffers from mental illness. If the three conditions are met at the same time, it is not difficult to understand the phenomenon.
Just imagine, if she is not a Catholic, but an official, what he saw during the attack might not be a ghost, but a bunch of police cars, or two words ("double" and "gui") constantly flying to him before. If she is a Journey to the West fan, what she saw during the episode might be spider spirits and bone spirits... As for how to explain the strange phenomenon in the recording, it can only be said that a person's psychological effects can create miracles.
Imagine again, if she lacked any of the conditions of epilepsy or mental illness, it would not be the case.
The second question, is the pastor guilty? No. The reason is simple, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to endure, and the parents and the bishop have agreed. What's more, people also go to see a regular doctor first, and then they appeal to the gods when it doesn't work. So that's an internal matter of other people's religions, and the secular courts shouldn't be nosy. Unless the Emily phenomenon becomes widespread one day, it is time to ban Catholicism. But that is impossible.
There are no ghosts in the world, and if there are more people who believe, they become ghosts.
