that's satan's greatest work, convincing people he doesn't exist. he's been very successful at it.

Gee Taruby, it sounds like you like to make up stories. Usually Aspergers folks are scrupulously honest. How did your mother end up in the state facility?

It's disrespectful to assume your faith is the only one with a corner in the market when it comes to exorcism, especially when it came from good ideas like Zoroaster of Zoroastrianism, Mithra of Persia, Attis of Phrygia, Dionysus of Greece, Krishna of India, and Horus of Egypt among others. Reminds me of copyright theft and all of the horrors and backstabbing it entails.


Horus is definitely cast-outable. Last witch I cleaned up had that demon. It left fairly quickly. Mithra is another name for the Babylonian Nimrod which I have frequently cast out. I don't know about the rest of them.


Nimrod was a mighty hunter before the LORD from around the time of the tower of Babel, Mithra a Persian deity apparently distinct from Ahura Mazda of Zoroastrianism. As Mithras he was adopted by the Romans, who turned it into a mystery cult as they did with the Egyptian Isis (as Mitra he featured in early Hinduism as well along with Varuna and Indra). Get your facts straight. Of course you have a point about the authority of the name of Christ. Have you ever cast out Lilith or Asmodeus?

You may disagree with God, but He is still the only show in town. Why did God limit his absolute sovereignty like this? I don't know. You will have to ask him yourself.

Google actually gives me results, the closest thing to an Omniscient (all-knowing) entity in existence.

Your original system of ideas was appropriated by the Jews from the Zoroastrians. It's hard to believe a lot of these unfulfilled prophecies and promises when they're hardly original. It's most likely a fallacy of tradition. Parents stole the ideas, kept the fact that they were stolen secret from the children, and the future descendants grow up thinking they're the only show in town. This is a marketing decision if you ask me. Microsoft implemented some good ideas from Macintosh and claimed it off as their own ideas; that's about the same as most religions in my opinion, they all have their roots. The Bible did not appear in some cave after it was placed by the great level designer in the sky. It was written by a bunch of people and made into a mixture of plagiarised religious texts, political opinions and the usual mélange of demagoguery and decent insight.

Welcome to the debate, Postperson. You said:

Possession is real, banal and everyday. It's the person who leads you astray, the false friend who betrays you. It's not like in movies... 180 degree head spins and projectile vomiting. I've only seen that sort of thing, like overelastic bodies, grimacing faces and impossible movements very occasionally. Generally there is no outward sign of possession expect the content of the speech. Judas was possessed when he betrayed Jesus, he's not described as having any outward signs, it just says that a demon entered into him.

In Western countries, the organizations of demons are not coming across as "roaring lions" because there are too many exorcists available and Satan's work through Humanists is being too successful. However some teenage occultists will come out and do rash things, unaware of the risk.

I can cast out demons, but they just come back in a few minutes or move to the next 'empty vessel'. I guess I don't have what Jesus did.

When dealing with demons in non-Christians, I merely bind them to silence and impotence in situ. They can't come back because they are already there. They just can't help their host. Then a prayer for salvation for the host can get through and establish a divine foothold in his life.

If you cast demons out of a Christian and they come back, that is probably because some occult person or group is still sending them. Next step is to "pray for them that persecute you." I bind the demons on the occultists and their charmed toys. Then I pray for them. Then when you cast out the demons, they stay gone.

When I cast out demons, I send them to where the true Lord Jesus would send them, just to get them out of here. I don't know where they go, but I get no reports of the same infestation in someone else.

As for skafather84, he has said he is a Satanist; that he follows the head demon. Now he says that demons are fictional. One or both of these statements is false.

Trying to explain the color orange to someone born blind would be as difficult.

Usually people who are candidates for exorcism come to me with:
1. strange medical symptoms that the doctors can't figure out and are not responsive to prayer
2. behaviors and feelings that they can't account for by anything that has happened to them.
3. sudden onset of panic attacks and nightmares
4. suddenly passing out and screaming when being prayed for
5. ghost and poltergeist phenomena suddenly starting to manifest in their dwelling
6. out-of-character obsessions and compulsions.
7. physical or mental ailments common to several generations of their family line
8. major pains that increase when near Christians or holy ground

Rotsa Ruck in resolving these problems with prayer or doctors! They are quickly resolved with exorcism.

Humanists are helpless against these things. Shamans and other occultists can only negotiate with the demons, trading one demon for a less obnoxious demon. But it is always Satan that gains in the transaction.

that's one thing i always find entertaining is that these people can't differentiate anton levay satanism from some moron who is a christian cheering for the wrong side.

ignorance can be funny...kinda like a cat that chases a laser pointer because it doesn't know the laser is just light.


as to whether one or both of my statements are false, both are true. i'm a satanist following principles of anton levay's church and demons are fake. levay was kinda over the top....i'm more of the philosophical side, not the rubbish about magic. that's mostly just sillyness.

So all these things are just demons that you can magically cure with some kind of divine help? 8O
Are all bad things in the world the result of demons and or Satan?
I find that a lot of people I meet like this just use the demon story to blame someone else for their problems.
I guess science does not mean much you and the world was only created 6000 years ago ect ,ect.
Is logic unimportant too :?:

Maybe you noticed that I said "usually". There is evil in the hearts of humans as well, which is why Humanism doesn't work. There can also be physical causes for things as well.

Did you ever ask me what I thought? Do you assume I lost all mental capacity when I gave up on Humanism for Christianity? Do you assume I don't use statistical analysis with what I do? Your Humanist teachers have washed your brain well.

What do you think? Science isn't really that big on demons so that is pretty much out of the way and when people start talking about demons being everywhere and possessing people, yes I figured mental capacity is in question.

When I could find it on the radio I always found this guy amusing http://www.boblarson.org/HOTTOPICS/hottopics.html
Perhaps some people take it too seriously
This is another with a variety of topics including exorcism at times also very amusing
http://www.coasttocoastam.com/
They are all nutters as far as I am concerned though
I am a proud Atheist and skeptic and have no need for demons other that horror movies

This thread gets more entertaining by the minute.

You can smell the superstition and ignorance.

It's like 1984 with Christians.

Look, the old understanding of the scientific method said that experiments had to be "repeatable, isolatable and verifiable." But in dealing with subatomic physics and deep space astronomy this is impossible. They use the legal/historical method for determining what is happening -- and still call it 'science.' Using the new method, spiritual things can also be given a higher level of confidence.

That silly Randi has a $1m wager against anyone proving healing prayer, using the scientific method. This is the old method that disallows several fields of science. He doesn't care, just so long as he is able to 'get' Christianity.

Sorry if I sounded feisty; I've had to fight this debate numerous times since I came on wrongplanet.net.
