10. Have you read the book of demonology written by King James? Yes! That king James!
http://www.sacred-texts.com/pag/kjd/

Here's what he had to say on the subject:
Quote:WEL, I haue told you now all my doubts, and ye haue satisfied me therein, concerning the first of these two kindes of spirites that ye haue conjoyned. Now I am to inquire onely two thinges at you concerning the last kinde, I meane the Dæmoniackes. The first is, whereby shal these possessed folks be discerned fra them that ar trubled with a natural Phrensie or Manie. The next is, how can it be that they can be remedied by the Papistes Church, whome wee counting as Hereticques, it should appeare that one Deuil should not cast out an other, for then would his kingdome be diuided in it selfe, as CHRIST said.[1]

EPI. As to your first question; there are diuers symptomes, whereby that heauie trouble may be discerned from a naturall sickenesse, and speciallie three, omitting the diuers vaine signes that the Papistes attributes vnto it: Such as the raging at holie water, their fleeing a back from the Croce, their not abiding the hearing of God named, and innumerable such like vaine thinges that were alike fashious and feckles to recite. But to come to these three symptomes then, whereof I spake, I account the one of them to be the incredible strength of the possessed creature, which will farre exceede the strength of six of the wightest and wodest of any other men that are not so troubled. The next is the

[1. Mat. 12 Mark. 3]

All of this from the guy whose name is proudly on your bible's cover..

Out of the 10 questions I asked, you responded with one deflection, and two non sequiturs.

Jesus did help.
Quote:Because the demons can evidentially control the victim's mind, a second person, the exorcist, becomes necessary. Why doesn't the devil fill us all with demons? Is there a shortage?
Where can we atheists go to pick out our own demon? Why are the demons as described in the bible extinct today?
As already noted, since there wasn't such demon possession in the OT, it seems that it happened as a challenge to Jesus and his followers.
Quote:Could they not evolve?
They apparently think they can.

What's with the dishonesty of pretending blindness and picking over the biting questions? Why can't you say " Gosh! that is a problem with my thinking," or at least a more honest "I don't have an answer for that but I'm not willing to give up my crazy delusion just yet."
Find the cure for Fundementia!
