Well that's a relief to know that invisible demons and witches impregnating women in their dreams are the cause of so many surprising pregnancies. Much easier to explain to Dad and Mom why a mysterious bump has manifested itself overnight. Truthfully with so many succubus and incubus roaming around at night throughout the ages it's amazing anyone gets any rest. In the 1600's those doggone mischief makers were identified, railroaded and dispatched with reckless abandon no doubt aided by the ergot fungus. Remember this was also an anti-science crowd. Although I always questioned why a true witch would let her or himself be "murdered" if they possessed the accusatory powers. "Smite me thee saith? How would thee enjoy a hot cauldron up thy nether regions" should have been the obvious response.
On the flip side the self-same demons are also the cause of infertility, endometriosis, cysts; probably acne, boils and hemorrhoids. Which begs the question. Do demons obtain specialties in demon school - some for pregnancy, some for infertility, etc. Though there are some human doctors who have been caught providing their own "demon sperm" at fertility clinics. Perhaps they are also demons. And don't get me started on the alien DNA (do they mean from Canada?) that causes people to reject religion. Always someone or something to blame; forget about free will.
These are some of the theories espoused by the Reverend/Doctor Stella Immanuel, a graduate of the University of Calabar in Nigeria (go Malabites). I support people's right to practice their religion. Good gosh there are actually people who dance with snakes. At least until all the jerking around and yelling by the "reverend" irritate the snake enough to end the manipulation. But again, their choice.
Where I start to have a problem is folks with Rev/Dr. Immanuel's gall (and credentials) showing up at the Supreme Court to condemn all the rest of medical science and thrust their particular brand of lunacy as the end-all cure for the pandemic. Again their choice. But when the science-phobic President of the United States picks up on the aforementioned lunacy and supports her "theories" is when things become really ugly. There are actually people who believe everything that falls from his pouty lips. I believe the real reason is his monetary stake in the lab that produces hydroxychloroquine. Also a case of "nobody likes me, everybody hates me, I'm gonna eat some worms" thinking.
Granted there are probably not that many folks who follow Dr. Immanuel's "alternative" religion but by golly, the Trump master has their vote. The upside is if his supporters continue to follow his crackpot ideas and anti-intelligence heroes the less of them we will have to contend with when this whole nightmare is over. Talk about your demon chasing dreams.
