This girl was essentially a medium in contact with demons who could supposedly predict the future. Christianity does not have anything to do with demons. This girl was not only under the control of demons but also under her masters who made a lot of money by keeping her in this condition (although these people had no idea of how to rid her of demons they were exploiting her for profit). She was a danger and a pest to Paul and his company/ministry and was obliged by God to rid her of demons.
