But seriously though...never have that kind of uneasy feeling?
When you're alone somewhere and you feel something just off?
Like don't you guys ever feel a sort of push just before doing something awful but you only know it after some time. Like every time you do something awful just a split second before you actually do it you get a "should I really?" thought...
Gotta admit those things scare the crap out of me..
Like people in Canada to people in Korea all engage in the same type of evil acts.. How?
Who taught them? No one? Then how do they do the exact same evil things? The thought itself is scary tbh
I think I get it. I was raised fundie. The devil was real.
A lot of people today think of "The Exorcist" (1973) as campy comedy. The way I was raised it was -- literal.
I was given a rainbow colored stuffed animal snake for a birthday. My Mother burned it. She actually believed that a demon could possess a fake snake and then possess me.
The devil was behind all temptation, and was constantly working to drag your pure soul to burn in hell forever.
If you are raised that way it can take some time to shake the images and emotions, even when you realize that this creature can't possibly exist. -- And if he does, he would be a lot better company than Yahweh!!!
But to answer the OP - no, I never dream of devils or demons, despite my upbringing.
