Do demons exist? Can that be tested?

[John Human]

When I lived in Bali, I couldn't help observing the pervasive evidence of belief in demons. And of course demons put in an appearance in the Bible, not to mention in the gargoyles of old cathedrals.

On the other hand, modern science would seem to categorically reject the existence of demons, without a clear reason why, unless it has to do with the axiomatic presuppositions of science's governing ideology of reductionist materialism.

Question: Do demons exist? What evidence is there, for or against?

How do you tell when it's a demon speaking to you?

I know their voice.

Hearing demons can be a sign of severe emotional distress, up to and including psychological disorders.

If anyone thinks they're hearing demons, it's very important to reach out to medical professionals trained in such.

There's therapies and antipsychotics that can work to address this very dangerous condition.

There are also other ways of dealing with anything to do with hearing 'a voice/voices'...which are part of the balancing process...

which can be incorporated with the therapies and medication programs.

But the difference is, I can prove all mine.

You have yet to prove it. So that is not true.

We've devolved to the "I know you are, but what am I" level now.

I'm content in concluding the observer won't be buying what you're trying to be selling.

You have proven

NOTHING.

But demand proof of every word.

I take that back.

You have proven that you cannot prove anything you state.
