Do demons exist? Can that be tested?

Post #1

Post by 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?

Do you mean from here:

Gender ideology is anti-science, anti truth.

The problem you have there is they are not going to enter into your house.

Nah. They're going to have to deal with my own personal demons, something to seriously reckon with.

Here again, you have failed once again. I wager you have perfected failure in your life.
They are not going to fight with the spirits already within you.
They are going to join them and turn them against one another.
I know you have no clue as to what this is going to do to you
but never the less, part of the curse is that only you will not
be aware of it. All others will notice the change in you.

Still waiting on our claimant to offer some means to confirm this "spirit realm" exists.

Why is it to hard to get truth out of a theist?

If you are referring to me you will not have to wait long.
I am not going to tell you. I am going to SHOW you.
You will have your confirmation very soon.
You will experience it first hand. What better way
than to see it for your own self in your own life.

Or, we just conclude it's a lie.

Yep. Mastered that a long time ago. Everyone should have perfected at least one skill in their lifetime. By the way, my demons will whip yours any day.
