Do you guys believe anybody can see a demon if it decides to appear or do you think only certain people are open to it.

As someone who does not take up positions on the supernatural -- a thing which inherently a creature of the natural world can have no data concerning and is unlikely to even exist -- I would simply say that people effectively conjure demons from their own subconscious fears and denied "shadow" (in the Freudian sense). It is rather akin to sitting in the deep forest alone in the dark and imagining what every noise "might" be. If you are predisposed to a fear of the dark or a belief in ghosts and similar then you could work yourself into a froth such that you believe you have seen almost anything.

Demons and Gods are two in the same. If you look across the world at ancient civilizations, there are too many coincidences and similarities for these Gods. Many ancient Gods, were real, but in fact just demonic spirits.

I find the demons believe in demons at Luke 4:41 who believe that Jesus is the Christ.
Does that make the demons religious because they believe who Jesus is ___________

Even Satan is considered as the 'god' of this world of badness - 2nd Cor. 4:4
But that does Not make Satan as the Creator God, the God of the Bible - Rev. 4:11; 2nd Tim. 3:16-17

I think that "demons" are a construct of the mind, just like anything else. Our eyes send impulses to the brain and the brain interprets these and constructs a picture, so it isn't hard to figure out that a person could construct a vision of what is called a demon, it just depends on how devoted they are to their belief in them.



The whole idea of evil just boggles my mind. The only creature on this planet that could be classified as evil is mankind. We see no force in nature that could classified as evil. So where does this concept dwell, only in the mind of mankind.

Satan has no control over this world.
That is a common myth.
