I guess demons don’t know how to block logical thoughts yet so you must bear with me as we do some thought experiments here with your conceptualizations.
What logical thoughts? You haven't presented anything but skepticism.
First, I should explain that I’m not completely unfamiliar with the belief of the occult. Back in college I did a lot of research on parapsychology, ESP, remote seeing, telekinetics, telepathy, UFO’sThat's not what I had in mind when I mentioned the occult. I meant black arts. There are people who directly invoke demons through magical incantations. They know.
Like you claim to have experienced before you became a dub? Again, it is only your mind playing tricks on you.I could just as easily say that your mind is playing tricks on you.
In the laboratory we can immediately make a person have a vision of gods, devils, demons, angels or whatever you want to dish up by inducing eddy currents in the neurocortex of the brain.Well, I guess you'd have to call me a skeptic. I don't think that explains away the occult.
So, putting it frankly, there is not a single bit of evidence you showed that points to any real superhuman entities. All known effects of so-called demon activity can be more easily and logically explained and better yet, treated by medical science. How is it that drugs can stop people from seeing demons or hearing voices? I thought drugs were supposed to make you more susceptible to demons.That's ridiculous. How do you explain speaking in tongues and occult based healing? Furthermore, not all drugs open up people to demonic influence, but obviously some do. They don't give paranoid schizophrenics LSD do they? People on angel dust, for example, have been known to perform superhuman feats. I knew a skinny little guy, whom I briefly studied with years ago, who told me that he went berserk on dust one time and picked up a harley davidson and threw it on some people and then shot one man in the leg with a shotgun. I know he was telling me the truth because the polic were looking for him. The police dread dealing with guys that are "dusted" because they have been known to break handcuffs and sometimes it takes a half dozen cops to subdue one man. Interestingly, there's an account in the Bible where this demon possessed guy would break the chains that people put on him.
Sorry but people really are that stupid You Know, religions and the occult have been here for centuries and these mind viruses are good at replicating themselves because they exploit a common weakness in human nature, namely our being intellectually lazy and also the gullibility factor is rampant in our species.I think modern society is every bit as stupid, if not more so, for the simple reason that you imagine yourself to be enlightened, when such is not really the case.
Collectively, most of us have not evolved enough mentally to question our own infallibility and thus we often get sucked into believing the most ridiculous things around because we didn’t read the instruction manual.Well, like I say, the notion that demons don't exist is the most ridiculous notion to those who know otherwise.
If you did take the time to study anthropology, sociology, and psychology you would soon realize how silly your reasoning sounds.Just because you declare that something sounds silly to you doesn't mean that your perception of reality is the correct one. You merely have an opinion.
You are saying that key individuals in our culture are in effect demonized and manipulated by demons to create the cultural themes as a whole. This implies that demons are responsible for the great inventions that make our society function and evolve, and that political leaders are controlled by demons.Yes, that's right. The demons pervert human ingenuity to suit their aims. The very fact that so much of human intellectual capital goes into making weapons is proof enough that their is an evil influence steering humans in that direction. As it stands, in the span of a little over one-hundred years technology has transformed human society from the era of covered wagons, when wars were fought with bows and arrows and rifles, to an age when some guy can press a button and literally blow up the entire planet. If that's not evil nothing is.
The whole demon and devil story is just too implausible to be taken seriously at all when you start doing some thought experiments.You typify the arrogance of Western philosophy and science that imagines that they know the truth about spiritual matters.
Why would a “angel” go bad in the first place? It would be a suicide trip wouldn’t it?Why ask me? Why don't you do some experiments in the lab and find out? LOL
I choose the later explanation as I'm too big to believe in the trooth fairy anymore.Sure you do. You just don't know it---yet. / You Know
