We can "name" the demon or use Jesus' power to remove them. However, we seem to always use the scientists' medications in order to help Jesus remove the demons. Doesn't that contradict the previous statement about the demon simply satisfying the scientists' expectations?
It would appear you are begging the question by referring to alcohol addiction as a disease.
Either we read two different posts, or I'm just plain lost. I didn't take away the same ideas from TU's post as you did...
