Belief in God or the devil?

[itsjustintyme]

Or are these just psychological situations that can be explained away by science as hoaxes?.

A person may sincerely believe themselves to be possessed. In those cases, it is clearly not a hoax. Neither does it lend evidence to the existence of demons.

Boru, I'm confused. You say it's clearly not a hoax as though you have some belief people can actually become possessed? Or are you just referring to these cases to be serious due to the psychological nature of the situation? Please clarify.

Atheists don't wrestle with the concept of god. All atheists, lack a belief in any and all god(s).
All of those things are the result of a few things: mental disorders, lies, mistakes and tricks. Sometimes a combination of all of them

Thanks Bad Wolf. I'm interested in knowing how you made up your mind there is no God?

Regarding the other, thank you for the explanation. I often wonder about this as exorcism stories seem to hold more common place in American popular culture than other potential evidences for a spiritual aspect of our world. Sometimes I find atheists who are spiritual but not religious atheists, however it seems atheism dismisses spirituality altogether? Sometimes I get confused about this though as nearly every major civilization in history has had some form of spirituality. I often woner if there is anything to this.
