Oh, we've heard about your "demons" ad nauseum. Guess what, they're NOT REAL. I'd put money on the fact that you had a psychotic episode, plain and simple, and you're still deluded to this day.

I think maybe there is a failure of understanding here, what I have just bolded and underlined in your statement is exactly what I'm talking about. I'm not disagreeing with you, what I said was merely that if an individual has any doubt in their mind about anything and another individual is able to convince them, because of that doubt, that something extraordinary can actually be done, then that individual will believe it, it's like believing in the Christian God, if you had the least little doubt about his existence, this is where the Christians will exploit that doubt and convince you that he really exists.

I was unaware, that a psychotic episode could make others see demons? It appears to me, you should research this topic a little more.

Did you know that Protestant Christians suffer from the highest percentage of religious delusions, compared to other religions?

It's a well-known fact that religious fanatics are extremely gullible and in the presence of other fanatics their delusions can feed off each other. As a group they can claim to have witnessed certain imaginary events, so what you CLAIM to have happened is easily explained by simple psychiatric and scientific means. Ya'll had a mass delusion, or else someone was deliberately pulling your chain. The supernatural does NOT exist. Demons do not exist. Devils and angels don't exist. You and people like you are deluded, that's it.

I think YOU should "research this topic a little more".

Yup, and some time ago you claimed to have an audio tape of the event which I asked you to present here.....I'm still waiting..... If you actually have this tape why haven't you used it to prove your case?

Did you ever consider the possibility, that it is not a delision at all, that Christians understand what and who demons really are? And perhaps the reason they are having these encounters, is because Christians are in the greatest position to attack and expose these demonic entities. And did you ever consider the posibility, that other religions are so far from the truth, that they do not have encounters with demons, becasue they have ignored the truth, and are aiding the demonic cause by spreading deception? I believe when you keep hearing of such encounters all over the earth, and then you believe this is only a Christian mass delusion. Well, I believe anyone who could believe that, is truly the delusional one. And I have both researched the topic, and have experienced it first hand. And I can confirm. DEMONS AND THE SUPERNATURAL, are a reality that cannot be understood by a spiritually dead mind. Yet Demons are active in our world, and work daily to keep the truth surppressed.

Let's see...demons and the supernatural can't be understood by someone like me. Uh huh. Well, since they're only imagined by people with some sort of mental illness or defect or by someone on drugs, that makes perfect sense.

You need to get together with yeshuasavedme.
