I don't write them off, I just know they are/were deceived. There is a difference between believing something because you're off kilter, and believing something because you were deliberately deceived. I have no doubt they all had very convincing spiritual experiences and interactions with actual spirits. The problem is, those spirits are demons.

You get pissy when we assert, but see nothing wrong with asserting your beliefs with wall after wall of text. Is it arrogant to think that billions of people are deluded? Fuck no, it isn't. Billions of people have been wrong before, genius.
I don't care what claims atheists make. Someone saying "there is no God" doesn't offend me. Someone saying "there is no god, you are a **** *** *** *** **** ****" doesn't even offend me. I just think having such a gigantic attitude problem about theists when you invite them to debate on your forum is pretty ridiculous.
Billions of people have been wrong and right. It's arrogant to just assume they are with no real proof.
