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?

You should be careful who you make angry.
It might someday be the end of you.
They can easily reach right out of the spirit realm and make
life very miserable for you.
Way way way way more miserable than it is for you now.
For example
they can cause you wife to leave you.

Post #615Just awhile back you said you was him.
Your threats are empty as your arguments.You should be careful who you make angry.
It might someday be the end of you.
Where have you established this "spirit realm" exists?They can easily reach right out of the spirit realm and make life very miserable for you.
I got me a pretty thing that lets me see her nekkid, I ain't miserable in the least.Way way way way more miserable than it is for you now.
I don't have a wife.For example they can cause you wife to leave you.
But keep it up preacher, let everyone see you have nothing to hang your claims on.
The liar lies and the preacher preaches.

You couldn't be wronger if ya tried to sell motor oil biscuits.
Ya got me fooled.and I am not a preacher
So you were lying back there where ya said ya was.and You asked me if God smelled like sulfur
so you were not referring to me.
You've failed to show you speak truth regarding the existence of this "spirit realm". More lying?And you are going to get a visitation from the spirit realm.
Threats of spirits might work on the gullible, but never the rational.And it is not going to be friendly one.

Are you gonna even try to put truth to your claims of there being a "spirit realm"?
