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.

They're bad. Although I do like Etrigan with his whole "Gone! Gone! -- the form of man -- Rise, the Demon Etrigan!" shtick.

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?

Calling people out of their minds isn't very nice, and 6 pages isn't a whole lot to read.

And what does evolution have to do with anything?

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.

Demon's exist only due to religion.

your opinions on the devil
Made up again to give people an excuse for their failures. You see, I was TEMPTED so it's not truly my fault. It's a great crutch added in Christianity (Note, there is no devil in that sense in the Old Testament).

Well see, there's this really cool thing called evidence. There is tons of it, all matching predictions made by actual scientists.

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 ).

Now through May 28th, the Louisville region is in desperate need of platelets - call the Red Cross if you are interested in donating!

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...

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.
