here have been lots of strange occurrences in our home recently. I bought a childrens bible for her and she destroyed it. I asked her to repeat a prayer after me and she physically wouldn’t/couldn’t do it.

Something is going on beyond the mental aspect.

Such as? Just be very careful going down this path of thinking. I wont dismiss it out right because I believe there is more to our reality than what we can comprehend with our five senses.

That being said there are charlatans and just plain idiots that have no idea how to deal with mental illness that can make the situation much much worse by suggesting spiritual "solutions" . Also if your child is aware of these thoughts she will absolutely use it as another means of manipulation. You have her in a treatment center now. Thats the best you can do at the moment.
