Why can't science detect angels and demons?

[EGross]

The idea of possession was attacked by many muslim scholars, it negates the concept of "responsibility is attached to each of you" which was mentioned in Islam.

While they may have attacked it, the reality is that Islam, like Christianity, does believe in demons, as well as punishment by them after death. Demonic posession is also not unheard of in either religion, the book "Fatwas on Faith Healing & Witchcraft" by Khaled al-Jeraisy goes into that in detail.

With many believers, when they come across something really embarassing about their religion, they just skip over it. To not just pick on Islam and Christianity, in Judaism it is halachically forbidden (think of it as a fatwa) to have your fringes sticking out at a gravesite. The reason? Because it will upset the dead because they are embarasssed that they can't wear them anymore.

Or the reason Jews are halachically required to wash their hands as soon as they get up is because tiny clingy demons are under the fingernails (Dybbuks). Also, your hands might have been roaming your private parts while you were asleep!

hock:

When I bring that up the published reason in the code of law to reasonable Jews, they are astounded that such a superstition exists, but are willing to accept and live with it.

This is true of Islam, Christianity and any other religion that deals in angels and demons. It is an embarassment, but you cannot get rid of it because it is at the foundation of that religion. It would be like saying "That whole Adam and Eve story is stupid. Let's drop it."

They can't. Once it is cast in stone, that's it. It isn't like Science, where if you discover that what you considered is stupid, you discard it an move on. In religion, once you discover it's stupid, you cover it up with more stories to keep it protected, but sort of hidden.

So down with the mythologies, fake prophets, and unholy books of all religions!
