Yes, hundreds of times. It's probably common among people de-converting that have some type of militant religious person in their life, and feel the need to vent frustrations. I've never noticed anything. I've also sincerely invited Behemoth, Beelzebub, Azazel, Belial, Moloch, Belphegor, and Satan to hang out on many occasions (plus any other demon). I've also talked a lot of shit to them, and provoked them heavily. To my surprise, and contrary to ghost T.V. shows I've watched, I didn't get possessed, things didn't start flying around the room, I didn't see any hooded figures, and I didn't hear any demonic growls. I even invited the Succubus to come bang me, but she was probably with another client.
Nowadays, I don't waste much time doing that anymore. I think I proved to myself as much as I possibly could that there is nothing spooky watching me out there.

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-
