That isn't what I said. I said you must not be familiar with the bible if you're shocked that *I* believe in demons, because it all through the bible and most Christians believe they exist.

You do know the definition of meme right?
"A meme is "an idea, behaviour or style that spreads from person to person within a culture.""
As a Christian who has spoken to many atheists over the years, I have seen how different lines of attack against the bible, and Christianity in general spread between atheists . Atheists have a groupthink and generally spout the same analysis and misunderstandings of Christianity.

I know the word of God has power over demons. Basically, satan would have to be omniscient to pull off the kind of deception you're speaking of, and therefore would be God.

I'll tell you what, if you can find one place where I said other Christians do not believe in demons, I will pray tonight. You're actually so obtuse that you didn't realize that I was pointing how crazy you are for thinking you have seen demons and that billions of other people talk to them. I did not say that you are an aberration. Could you discuss my actual arguments instead of the ones you just make up to draw attention away from the parts of the conversation you can't hack?
The point is, this is what Christians believe. That Satan is the ruler of this word, demonic activity is widespread, and people who worship false Gods are worshipping demons. Your reaction was one of suprise and contempt..when these are standard Christian beliefs.. I never said I saw a demon, I said I have seen demon possession first hand.

If only. More beautiful and soothing words you have yet spoken.
