Differentiating a religious experience/including hallucinations from a psyc disorder

[Darwinian]

And why do you think I'm here to save you :/

Unbelievable arrogance?

[Oldandeasilyconfused]

When one of your senior members referred me here he said most of you were pretty intelligent. I've been greatly disappointed thus far. Wow

Please answer my question: Why are you quoting scripture at a bunch of atheists? That speaks poorly of YOUR intellect.


Oh,I cant begin to tell you how sorry I am we have failed to live up to your expectations. I really don't know how I will manage to live with myself.

Well all I've really seen from you is you telling us how we feel. Saying we're angry and depressed. Were you expecting us to agree with what you're saying and convert to your beliefs or something? What the hell did you expect?

If you wish to consider intelligence, you have to be willing to engage in intelligent discourse in order for such a thing to be evident.

All you have done is preach, and ignore the criticisms. Some of them are impolite, but many christians are impolite if you criticise them as well. You have been impolite also in your arrogance. You don't see it as arrogance, so let me try to explain;

First of all, I was polite enough to try your idea about calling on demons in the name of Jesus Christ. Nothing happened, a point you've ignored, which is a little insulting seeing as I did as you asked, and told you what happened. If you ask us to do something, and we do it in the interests of truth. You could show some respect by acknowledging it.

Now, its your turn to try something;
Please write/type down the reasons why you dismiss Islam (or another other faith you wish to choose) as untrue and false. What does that religion need to provide in order to convince you it is true?
Imagine you do not believe, and apply those reasons to your own religion. Highlight what makes your belief more true than the absolute conviction of faith held by those in another religion.

Can you please discuss your conclusions after doing so.

Because you said...

May Jesus Christ shed his living blood over your souls and deliver you from your demons! In Jesus name I pray.

amongst many other similar things.

Ps your signature "ban me if you want" - do you see yourself as some sort of martyr? I'd say your chances of getting banned are zero, you've broken no rules.

Stimbo yes the video explains how two people who see the same thing can see different things or explain it away or call it supernatural whatever. Giving you my witnesses would not only violate their privacy but I doubt you'd really follow up with them or believe more hearsay. So I invite you to summon your demons in the name of Jesus Christ, to reveal themselves and tell me how you explain your experience. But I wouldn't recommend it if you don't have faith in Jesus to protect you from them.

Stimbo has demons?

So now the loss of a loved one is "having a daemon" ??

"I invoke the authority of Jesus Christ and demand my demons manifest"
Nothing happened, so I stared intently in the mirror and said again
"On the authority of Jesus Christ, Lord Almighty, I command my demons to show themselves"
Just in case I got the words wrong.

Only three names work, and you have to say each three times. They are Bloody Mary, Biggie Smalls and Beetle Juice.

[KichigaiNeko]

I like "Beetle Juice" "Beetle Juice" "Beetle Juice"!

I know biblical Christianity is not mainstream and there is no demonic preoccupation. I just asked for opinions on spiritual manifestations. Jesus commanded us in Mark 16:17 to cast them out in His name and a lot of mainstream Christian churches avoid the issue due to critism like yours.

Not true Elizabeth, your stepfather (me) spoke to the old pastor of New Hope out on 31 in Acme and his exact statement to me after telling me the bible is trustworthy was that they don't worry about Mark 16:17 because it is a bunchy of hooey (his words not mine).
