Do you believe in demons?

[qlum]

Of course I do! Now where did I put that COMP...?

I dunno but you can use a spare one I have left under the rubble of a crashed air plane on the bottom of the Atlantic ocean

 

[Tokiopop]

Where is the "No. You suck." option?

 

[Deleted member 35947]

Not at all. I don't buy the whole magical superstitious crap.

 

[funem]

I wanted to believe in Demons I really did, but as it turns out it was a crap TV series where they just said "smite" a lot......

This poll is flawed and subjective. But anyways from my personal standpoint, if by 'angels and demons' you mean the potential of man to be good or evil, then yes in that sense I believe that everyone who walks this Earth has the potential to be either good or bad. That is where the source of spirituality stems from, is the common feeling and sharing of emotions and thoughts between every living creature that surrounds you.

But if you mean in the sense that they're supernatural beings that the current laws of physics and science cannot explain, then well I'd be perceiving you as a complete idiot.

I think that statement was a bit harsh,

Seeing as the supernatural can neither be proven nor disproved, take into account that the "current laws of physics" can only take into account that which is known, which is only "current knowledge" otherwise there would never have been any changes to what we "know" and "have known" throughout time, then only an idiot would say to someone they are an idiot for believing in something to which they themselves cannot disprove.... Millions of people believe in God, yet there is no scientific evidence to prove his/her existence, even though God does not conform to any physical, biological or scientific laws of fact, but still, the existence of God cannot be disproved.. and there again, people who believe in God are not idiots.

I do apologize for that statement. And I do agree with you (to a degree) about the element of being unable to prove/disprove certain phenomena. But as time progresses, man evolves with knowledge, and more of those elements become more fully understandable. But I'm fairly certain that there is one thing that will never be explained, and that is existence in it's entirety.

I guess I was trying to get at the fact of the 'extremist' believers who don't look at their preferred religion from a realistic/metaphorical standpoint. And that in itself is dangerous to society.

But to sum it up, I don't believe in 'just good' nor 'just evil'. I take more of a Taoist approach, in the sense that there's duality in the entire universe, and they co-exist in order for us to exist in the first place. Throw in the chaos theory and you got yourself the world around you that you experience.

(and if you ask me what my belief in god is, it's the entire existence of the universe and the laws that govern it that surround us, including every element, even living creatures ... there's nothing more powerful than your own personal experiences)

EDIT: Some more insight and other wordings.

or butter AND jelly.

Ewww, Mthr...

I've never understood the need for jam AND butter. It's just so weird.

You can't prove they don't exist just because you haven't seen one, or if anyone else has ever seen one.

Going by this logic, you can't prove air exists either. Enjoy your lack of oxygen.

Lol what. I said you can't prove nonexistence. You definitely can prove existence, but you can't prove nonexistence unless you searched the world over and found absolutely nothing, but that search in itself is logistically impossible. Disregard the "seeing is believing" thing though, that's pure rubbish on my part.

It tastes pretty damn good with toast

[Cablephish]

When I was dating my girlfriend, she said the idea of demons scared her.

So I guess there are demons out there.

 

[DeMoN]

Now this is an interesting question.

 

[MrDillDough]

lolwut.

But I do believe in ghosts. Because I can't really imagine seeing a demon in real life.

 

[bh123]

toast is a mythical creature only seen by a few amount of people have seen it might scare you. there have been a few documentary's but never studied extensively here is a glimpse

 

[Hop2089]

Toast looks like something out of a child's dream and not scary at all.

 

[Uchiha Obito]

Why not? I mean... I don't believe that we are alone... And since there are things that we know it exit but we can't see it, why don't demons exist too? We just don't know about it... It's as plausible as God!

Angels don't exist. Demons also don't exist.

I'm an atheist, but I don't mind one branch of Hinduism (forgot the name) that worships alcohol as a god.
I have more alcohol in my house than potable water (well technically tap water here is potable but I filter it anyway so not counting unfiltered tap water).
