Another way of what I am saying is you guys totally ignore anything that is historical for all recorded time (or current, for that matter) which goes against your world view- you relate all of it to ignorance or superstition.
Give me a break.
That many cultures did (and many still do) believe in evil spirits is historical fact. That they were real, isn't.

It only seems that way to generations that were particularly gullible and superstitious, as a generation (which generation are you talking about, btw?) we just have a slightly higher percentage of less indoctrinated individuals. It's irrational to judge whole generations by the people you meet on a special interest site.

If he were omnipotent, it literally wouldn't require any effort from him. However, God is portrayed in the Bible as needing a rest sometimes, so maybe it WOULD be too much trouble for a deity that's not really all-powerful.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
