Can christians here explain Mark 5:2-13?

RE: Can christians here explain Mark 5:2-13?
If I was a being that could possess things, I'm pretty sure I'd be happy to be in a lot of things. Besides, it was their idea to go into the pigs. I'm not sure why they would get stuck in something anyway.

I'm not sure what you mean by allowed to do so.

Ok. So why kill themselves? Where would they go if they died? Why wait until someone came along to transfer them to something else, if they just wanted to die?

It seems to me that they didn't have full control over the man. Once he saw Jesus, and ran to him, the demons had to fess up and hopefully make a compromise. They wanted to go into the pigs. Either they couldn't control the pigs, and the animals went mad and killed themselves, or Jesus had the pigs kill themselves just to spite the demons. Either way, he's responsible for the death of the pigs directly or indirectly, and makes no apologies or promises to repay the owners of the pigs.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.
