You mean like that evil demon in Numbers 31 who commands murder and rape?  The one often referred to as "god?"

What kind of bigoted motherfucker won't even allow other cultures their own fairies...huh....do you -have- to attempt to co-opt everything? Don't you have a hole into crawl in somewhere?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Well, obviously demons are the most likely explanation for...anything we want. Norse gods? Hell yeah. Demons the lot.

I must say, I'm enjoying Chad in his new self-appointed role as forum court jester! Well done sir. Well done.

I always wanted to could demonic entities when I was a child. Unfortunately my dreams were shattered, as my parents sent me off to law school. But I never stopped dreaming about coulding demonic entities. That's what I was meant to do.

Do you mean Jesus? I don't think that it is fair to the Christian on this site to call their imaginary deity a demon.
