Okay... I'll start out.... I believe there are three forces that reign on earth. Heavenly, humanly, and demonic. Heavenly and the demonic fight over the humanly.
yeah, the level 70 berserker demons in the final chapter are a total bitch to beat but if you have the holy water super soaker and a defense of at least 80, it is not only possible, but even relatively easy
Yes, I believe there are evil and demonic entities in both the tangible world and the subtle world...it's obvious. I don't believe that there's a huge, Satan vs. God war brewing, with armies of countless demons opposing armies of countless angels, battling over the souls of mankind in preparation for the final showdown.
If you research into the area of demons you will discover that demons have one goal and that is to lead people astray from Jesus Christ. They hate Jesus and ONLY Jesus... but why? A man once asked a demon possessed woman why she hated Jesus so much and the demon responded, "Because He takes are people away from us..."
JDFU: Regarding researching demons: You've made a claim, I'll leave the burden of proof to you. It's not important enough to me to spend my time on. Are you writing your own posts or is JDFU now just a pseudonym for your dad? You sound exactly like him.
what makes you think demons only hate jesus? there's stories of demons and possesions all over the world, from all kinds of cultures that dont even know about jesus. (voodoo?) there's stories about demons and possesions older than christianity. regarding demons though, i tend to think they are us, or our repressed "shadow" selfs rather. the subconcious is a strange thing, and acts in strange ways sometimes. any kind of war between heaven and hell is an illusion, that stems from our own psyche. its man who is split, and thats where the illusion of duality stems. the devil is a symbol that represents the mirror that we human being are afraid to look into. demons are meant to instigate fear, and on a psychological level fear clouds awarness, and clarity. the whole fire and brimstone scenerio is pretty clever really, if you wanted to indoctrinate the masses, rule number one is to play on their fear.
Demons exist everywhere! Why else would the Diablo series exist? Man, I haven't played Diablo 2 in forever...
Well, I for one miss your dad...he did lend balance and was an unflinching voice for his beliefs. Consider my saying that you sound like him a compliment...if I came off as sarcastic, it was from my usual sense of fond aggravation with Campbell...guess it'll continue with you.
Unfortunately everything has it's opposites, and where there is good evil too must exist. But as our universe consists of most matter, not anti-matter, our world is dominated mostly by the presence of good. but somewhere out there deep in space exists a universe made up of mostly anti-matter, and filled with the presence of evil - I fear for those few good people who exist in a universe dominated by the presence of evil and full of demons Hotwater
To paraphrase Calvin and Hobbes: "I don't think mankind needs the encoruagement." Demons tend to either be cop outs (the devil made me do it), or misunderstandings (epilepsy, schizoprhenia, brain damage).
just because you think in false dichotomies doesn't mean that the universe operates that way. everything doesn't have to have an opposite, it tends to, but it doesn't mean it is always 100% true.
When FedupAmerican/Fuzzynut is allowed on the forums after being banned... that just illustrates the CORRUPTION in the Christian forums.
i think its so funny how every tv evangelist type always seems like theyre posseesed by demons... hell every christian too theyre sooooooooooooooo consumed with the notion of demons fighting for theyre souls they believe in superheros & magic words demonic possession=insanity same goes for jesus possession letting non ex\istent entities control your life ever heard of athiests agrostics druids or pagans being demonicaly possesessed? nope only christiansds u gotta believe in a thing to allow it to affect u
