Demons/ghosts and religion
So, that may not be the best title right? Maybe not, but it expresses the point of this thread, and if that's not what a title is for then we're all in for it. Anyway, after posting the thread on ghosts, I noticed a lot of people started to get into the witchcraft/demons/magic kind of area on that thread. Some people are of the opinion that most, if not all 'ghosts' are really demons. I agree. There may be a 'ghost' out there, but the majority are probably demons. Now, if you believe in demons, which I take it most people do, there's probably some sort of 'religious' theme involved. So, perhaps I should call this post something more like "Demons and religion"? Well, I'm not sure which one would put more people off, so I guess I'll leave it the way it is. Or... maybe not. Never mind, I decided to change it a little anyway.
So, this thread is going to be a place for your opinions on demons, hell, the devil, (sounding pretty bad so far) how to stay out of hell (ah. Much better), and various closely related topics. I look forward to your opinions. - The Grim Reaper's Friend. (kind of spooky name after writing something like that ) |

Re: Demons/ghosts and religion
This is going to end in flames, Grim, just saying. But as a staunch believer in reason and humanity over superstition and mythological creatures I have to say this:
They are both fictional, much like gods. So's heaven and hell, in whatever religion you subscribe to. As a matter of fact, religion is real only as a social instrument, for which it can be used to do good or bad, depending on whether the people who believe in it are good or bad.

Re: Demons/ghosts and religion
I think demons, angels, hell, ghosts, and whatever else people believe in are a lot like Tooth Fairies.

But yeah, this didn't need it's own thread, and there's a 99% chance of it ending badly. Have fun. |

Re: Demons/ghosts and religion
Oi! Are yu guys out of your minds? Copmments pour in so fast, on so many different notes, that I can't get ot them all. Demons, Angels, God, and everything else along those lines is about as far from fiction (or the tooth-fairy) as you can get. I take it you believe in Evolution, yes?

Re: Demons/ghosts and religion
This will not go well. Not at all.
My opinion . . . None of it is real. Not ghosts, demons, religion, god(s), heaven or hell. It's all made up by man to try and understand that which is difficult to understand. We are no different than grass or frogs. We live, we die, we go back to the earth. That is all. Nothing more. |

However, there is no evidence of Demons. No evidence of Angels. No evidence for God (at least an active one intervening in human affairs on any sort of basis). Evolution has been tested. It perfectly explains why snakes are occasionally born with legs, why whales are sometimes born with feet, why humans are sometimes born with tails, and why the Giraffe's Laryngeal nerve is so stupidly long ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO1a1...layer_embedded ).

Re: Demons/ghosts and religion
And yet all that evidence still can't explain the very cornerstone of the theory: macroevolution.
EDIT: Or for that matter, how life came from non-life. Gee, if only proving evolution was as easy as explaining snakes with legs... Last edited by Frylock; November 6th, 2010 at 09:46 PM. |

Re: Demons/ghosts and religion
I'm pretty sure an afterlife/ghosts/demons doesn't exist. You need a brain for your conscious self to exist. It seems to me that a lot of proposals of positive afterlifes are based largely on wishful thinking.
Life coming from non-life isn't evolution, it's abiogenesis. Circumcision? HIS body, HIS decision. A person should have the right to their own body. "Sometimes you're right but you're always an asshole." - Anonymous neg rep Last edited by ParaGoomba Slayer; November 6th, 2010 at 10:05 PM. |
