Demons?
#11
RE: Demons?
When I was christian, I didn't believe people were possessed, and had to have exorcisms to have them removed. I figured they were the things in hell that torment you when you die a non christian. Maybe they make bad things happen, or maybe it was god doing it because he was unhappy.

My grandmother believes in them, but I'm not sure to what extent.

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

I believe in demons and witnessed a exorcism of a church member who was struggling spiritually and was having trouble sleeping.

I feel bad for people that have exorcisms done on them. Saying no won't work because they think it's the demon talking. Getting kidnapped and struggling and yelling won't work because they figure it's the demon the whole time.

There's plenty of videos of exorcisms on youtube. I wager all of them can be explained by non-supernatural means. I'd suggest watching Derren Brown Investigates the ghost hunter, can also be found on youtube.

RE: Demons?



I'm Hindu, and while there are creatures analogous to demons in the stories and texts associated with various of the orthodox Hindu traditions, I generally leave the speculation on such matters to theologians. I am responsible for my relationship to the goddess, and if such creatures exist, she hasn't seen fit to provide me with sufficient reason to believe in them. Since they are a part of the heritage, I enjoy the stories, and am open to the idea that these creatures as portrayed in the stories may illustrate literal or figurative, symbolic truths. However, I have not encountered any such creatures in my life and therefore choose to remain aloof with regard to belief in them. I like the stories, and suspect they reflect some aspect of deep truth, but just what that means in literal terms, I'm unsure.

I know only one demon. It's name is Cocaine.

Figuratively speaking, of course.
