Demons

Post Reply New Topic

I believe in them. I am in general a very skeptical person. But I am a christian, and according to Christianity they exist. That on top of stories I have heard and things I have witnessed, I believe in them.

I haven't personally.. and I don't believe in demons, but i've heard lots of stories about people that have.

I think they're called "shadow people".

No demons, at least in a literal sense.

No, I don't fall for bogeymen.

only these ones

Ahh, but the bogeymen, were real The meaning has changed but they were most certianly real and did a job no one else wanted. They learned it could be used as power. They made castles fall that no army could do. Oh, they were very real.

Give me a hypothesis and repeatable test and or your just another nut.

Well yes I am most certainly am a "nut". No hypothesis. They took care of the dead bodies during the plagues in Europe. They found out if they placed the clothes around rich peoples castles, they would flee in terror. Look it up. But yeah I am a nut job.


Lol, the bogeyman has come to get you. boooooo

A little defensive this evening? You also owe me for a keyboard cleaning. I spewed my pepsi when you called me a nut job, laughed hard for at least a full minute.

I think a lot of what we might tend to think as "demons" have some bases in history. The bogeyman is a good example. Not pickin on ya man. Dragons evil critters, well not to us, because we no better. But earlier in time they were a demon. Where did it come from? Someone saw a big ass fossil of what they then called a dragon. They had no way of knowing that it wasn't a recent thing. Might be a poor example. But we all know about whispering something in a persons ear and tell em to pass it on, how the first message goes way away from what was first said. things get distorted over time. What may have been very innocent gets blown out of proportion.

Some of the fairy tales we see today were ment to keep the kids scared enough not to do something that would harm them. Movies have had a ball with them.

Am I saying they really exist in a true sense or not. No I am not. Nor do I care to. Do I have a personal opinion? You bet I do, but I don't want you to stay awake at night with the light on. Roflmao

That's kind of you. People can't help what they see and experience.

Senses can lie.

They may lie (rather use the word missinterpret), doesn't make them any less real. Of all the peoples, Aspies should understand this the best.

When you experience something that isn't real it's called having a hallucination or if your sleeping it's a dream. My brain told me I was playing chess with Nietzche in my sleep but that isn't right is it?

Depends on who you are, what your conception of things are. We don't all walk the same tight rope. What I sense very well my not be what you do. I like rough fabrics they feel good, you might not. I dream I played chess with Poe and think I really did, you have a wet dream and know you didn't have sex. It depends on the person. I don't think you're wrong about your senses no matter what they are. They are yours, not mine.

So your saying reality is a product of a persons mind?

I beg to differ.

If I shot myself in a room of level-headed people with functioning eyes they'd see it happen.

If I see a demon and no one else does I'm a having a hallucination.

Your senses merely bring reality to you, they don't generate it.

I'm not really arguing here. You might percive it as that. But I'm not. All I'm saying is it's from the persons own perception. I can't go into reality theroy, I'm not bright enough, but I do know Einstein had some pretty heavy thoughts on it. When you die, will I cease to be?



"level-headed people" and if they weren't level headed?

"If I see a demon and no one else does I'm a having a hallucination." Not to me, I might see it too and the rest don't. So I would pose the question, who is having the hallucination? Science hasn't figured it all out. Just because it isn't in a book doesn't mean it doesn't exist. We humans only have our limited senses. Just becasue someone might be able to catch a glimpse of something, I can't, doesn't make them a nut. We have machines that can "see" things we couldn't before. They were always there.
