    Absolutely a brilliant and thoughtful human being. His mix of toughness and sensitivity is so unique. I wish I could have known him. Really interesting guy.

    Upon watching the Exorcist in 1973, I knew exactly what the director was trying to show us. I was never more deeply moved. Years later, he said he really believed in the teachings of Jesus. I had never heard of exorcism even though brought up as a Catholic. I was never the same since

    i was actually slated to meet Billy as part of a film festival in the summer of 2020 -- the pandemic took that away from me and i'll always regret not meeting him.

    Exceptional interview. We all want to be "a believer." It's just that rational thought keeps getting in the way.

    Not rational imo, just something that seems „illogical“ but when you think about it; there are a lot of things that don’t make much sense but are still true. Trying to make sense out of it won’t make it more real. So Maybe not everything needs to be „rational“ „logical“ to be the truth

    Reason is only as good as what we know and understand. We keep learning, but we don't know and understand everything, and never will.

    1) Lots of good reasons to seriously consider the survival of consciousness after death. 2) Mother Theresa had a sadistic, fetishized enjoyment of others' suffering.

    After re watching The Exorcist recently I couldn't shake the feeling that it was a DEEPLY religious film, and after hearing this it all makes sense. I like that movie but I cannot stand the religious tone and this reinforces that.

    @@JckSwan People watch it because it's famous and supposedly great. Yes, the religious theme hurts it. The depiction of doctors as cold and uncaring. And the whole "your puny science can't help you now." It's a well made piece of garbage. Maybe garbage is too much, but it is silly. Rosemary's Baby has effing Satan's child in it. It still has no religious theme. To quote the author, Ira Levin: "I feel guilty that 'Rosemary's Baby' led to The Exorcist, The Omen. A whole generation has been exposed, has more belief in Satan. I don't believe in Satan. And I feel that the strong fundamentalism we have would not be as strong if there hadn't been so many of these books [...] Of course, I didn't send back any of the royalty checks."[1]

    Speaking from the standpoint of a Born Again Christian, the words, "It's all right, it doesn't matter" would never be spoken by God. He didn't send His Son to die because "it doesn't matter". This was the devil.
