bendrr,: Demons must be the best houseguests you could have. The don't raid the fridge, don't bother the kids or pets, no phone bills, you can watch what you want on tv, and I've never had one drink my last beer. They seem to be pretty quiet and I've never noticed them using the lights or the water or heard a complaint about it being too hot or too cold. Ah, but dear bendrr, you forgot THE most important thing about demons of all! This includes the demon of all the demons, Satan de Diablo Hisself! NO DEMON, INCLUDING DE DIABLO HIMSELF HAS EVER PERSONALLY KILLED ANYONE! Yep! Fact. I defy any Bible-believer to show evidence where a demon actually snuffed out a life, as in KILLED someone. That includes our ol' buddy, the "Father of the Lie" (MY father, according to Shelby, btw.)Now, how does Jehovah-of-the-Bible measure up in the killing department by comparison with all the demons in existence, including Satan himself? Ummm....well, let's see: He doomed billions to misery, sickness, famine, pestilence and death over an episode with a single piece of fruit; He killed the ENTIRE planet once (save for 8); he killed ALL the firstborn of Egypt simply because their Pharoah was your basic Dipfuck; he killed hundreds of thousands of men, women and children who just happened to occupy real estate in a shit-hole part of the earth like the Middle East that the Hebrews wanted; he commanded cannibalism and it was so; he commanded smashing babies skulls against the wall and it was so, and for his final act, he is about to PERSONALLY orchestrate the biggest slaughter ever: 6,000,000,000 people.That being so, I'm beginning to like Demons, actually.larc,: Now, it is one thing to posit the concept of demons I suppose, but where did all these specifics come from? I have several questions. Why does a demon have to reside anywhere? Can't it move about as it pleases? If someone bought a brand new clean, fresh couch, why would the demon choose to stay in the old smelly one? If a couch was burned, why would the demon go away? That's easy larc: Demons are bad housekeepers with bad hygiene. It's in their genes, or something. Or maybe God gave them bad hygiene as a punishment. Demons also have bad breath. I've read about their bad breath. Having bad breath is an incredible accomplishment since they don't have mouths, teeth, throats or even lungs. But they DO have bad breath. "Trust in Jehovah," larc. You must be losing it not to see that you are "running ahead" and speculating.vitameatavegamin,: My mother was notorious for blaming EVERYTHING on the demons. If I had nightmares, it was demons. If we heard strange sounds in the house at night, it was demons. That ain't NOTHIN'! My atheist uncle (my mom's brother) gave me a metronome so I could practice my music with a tempo in the back ground. After I emancipated myself, my mother called me up (I lived 900 miles away from her by then) and asked me how I felt. I said, "fine, mom." She said, "No, you don't SOUND fine. Your problem is that metronome your Uncle gave you. It is demonized. Destroy it." I didn't destroy it, so I am doomed to be demonized forever and ever and ever. I wonder why demons like metronomes, anyway.rex,: After seeing the effects that "jehoober's organisation" has on people, isn't it obvious that the demons want this very thing? ;-)You obviously know I could have mentioned that, rex! I wanted to give that thunder to someone else, and you were first in line to get it! For true believers in the Bible, there is more evidence that demons are LOOKING for MORE JW converts than there is that they are trying to created EX-JWS!Now, if the Bible is true, and the evidence about demons is true, how could that possibly be?
