Possessed by Satan? |

"Hitler and Russian leader Stalin were possessed by the Devil, the Vatican's chief exorcist has claimed.
Father Gabriele Amorth who is Pope Benedict XVI's 'caster out of demons' made his comments during an interview with Vatican Radio.
Father Amorth said: "Of course the Devil exists and he can not only possess a single person but also groups and entire populations.
"I am convinced that the Nazis were all possessed. All you have to do is think about what Hitler - and Stalin did. Almost certainly they were possessed by the Devil." From dailymail dot co dot uk

Is evil separate from humans? Isn't evil from the thinking of humans? |
Clarification/Follow-up by isizathu on 08/29/06 12:00 pm:
Dear Mary Susan,
Evil as some "entity" does not exist. But people can be evil in both thought and deed.
Evil is therefore a non-sensical expression when expressed in connection with "possession".
Both Hitler and Stalin, and a lot of other people (including religious people & leaders) acted / act evil.
Animals may at times kill and hurt other animals, for either food or training only. That can't be called evil. So evil is a human quality. It's the result of a mental problem.
