Why can't science detect angels and demons?

[junkyardboy]

are you sure?
how do you know?
did you somehow personally verify that?
demons in the swine had to go somewhere

hock:

(I have always found it weird that Christians (at least in the USA) later adoped the taste for honey baked ham to commemorate the ressurection of their dead Jew).

But possession? Really?

Well, it's still part of the thread, I suppose, the belief in posession, a superstitious practice by the older religious who cannot deal with mental illness with the exception of torturing the victim.

Many years ago, I lived down the road from Gacy, so I can assure you he was a real person, not posessed. Just a sick twisted bastard.

I would think that any religion that embraces a devil, (Christianity and Islam come to mind), a belief in a supernatural being who rebels against the creator and then is given carte blanche to do all the evil he wants, making god evil by his permitting of this to occur by extension (in American legal terms - depraved indifference), should cause it's membership to reevaluate their connection to such an out of date practice.

It's amazing that Christians will point out the lunacy of the koran, Muslims will not accept the divinity of Jesus, and by extension, dismiss the Christian texts as nonsense that make mention of that, the Jews hold that the Koran and Christian texts are certainly flawed and man-made texts. And yet these very same members do not apply their own logic that they use to disprove other religions against their own.



Devils and demons? Sure "Supernatural" and "The Walking Dead" are fun fiction for some, (if devils, why not zombies?), but nobody watching that takes it seriously (I hope!). And many of these same people will later speak of some recent atrocity in the news and of their hope that so-and-so burns for all eternity in hell.

I am a rational human being, meaning I don't need 10 (or so) commandments to tell me that killing is bad. And I don't need the fear of eternal damnation from some uncaring creator to force me to do good. Secular society did that for me already.

possession really

who is to say allah won't appear to you?
