Now that the population has topped 7 billion, the need for possessive demons has skyrocketed. So my question to theists is, "Does god have to make new demons every Sunday to cope with the demand?"

Hmm.. no takers.

You're starting with a logical fallacy... So what is their to take?

satan may have started out with more than enough.

I think he is suppose to take Sundays off. Maybe that is on his weekly to do list.
Wake up (check)
Eat my Cheerios (check)
Punish the innocent and reward the evil(check)
Make more demons and angels (check)
Lift and make some gains( check)
Finally reveal myself to mankind (eh maybe tomorrow)

You must be in love with the words "logical fallacy."
Claiming "logical fallacy" alone is equivalent to saying "n'uh uh,"
it gives no information other that to signal your disagreement.

Wipe your keyboard off and write something of consequence or don't comment at all please.

Oh, just to spell out the issue a bit simpler for those that can't handle the humor. The question is "did god create a finite set of demons, and if so how did he gage the quantity he needed?" If not, does he continue to create them as new people are born and possessed? What is the scriptural basis for the XTIAN positions?

I have to agree with him Drich. It's not really a logical fallacy, it's just a stupid question.

Brakeman - you disprove all the teachers who told us that there's no such thing as a stupid question. Well done.

It's only a stupid question because of the stupidity of the presumption, that god and demons exist. Otherwise it is just an inquiry into the non visible arrangements of a story. It's not too much unlike asking how many sticks were made into magic wands by the wizard that made Harry Potter's. The answer would have significant meaning to us scholars.

The reason the question bugs christians so much though is that it brings up a topic that embarrasses them. Demon possession regarded as silliness by modern man.

When your god was making demons, how many did he make and why? What was his goal? When did he stop and say, "thats just enough?" Or does he continue to make them on the fly?

Why can't you answer this question? Can't you just pray about it and tell me what he says? I'd like to hear it as close to the source as possible. Why won't you pray to jesus and tell me what he says? Are you no longer on speaking terms?

No, it's stupid because god is omiscient, and so it's nonsensical to ask how he gauged the quantity he needed.

Broke man starts out with a fallacy of false cause or Non sequitor.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non_sequitur_(logic)

Which makes His arguement/question not valid. In a sense a stupid question.
