Demons, Satan, Human Evil

[nailit]

Ive refrained from posting on here for the last week...but just cant help myself sometimes!
Just read through Theland's 'Return of the God Hypothesis' thread.
I have to ask
How many sane people, believe in demons or the Lord of evil (Satan)?

Ive spent many years involved in occult practices...ouija boards, Tarot, spiritualism etc, and yet all the christian literature that Ive read says that I should be possessed by now, but im not.
ive done countless ouija board sessions, Spent many hours listening to mediums (including private seances), spent pounds on Tarot (and other) readers....all as fake as f***

Demons??
As ridiculous as God...or fairies...or the flying spaggetti monster.

But you are nails.....indeed you are.....

[Theland]

Five!oaves talks sense.

Nailit, why waste your time? (God given time?)

[Bobnunton]

Nailit are they all as looney as some of these on your thread?
Seems you are fighting a losing battle with tin foil people

Theland - // Demonic activity is not Hollywood, vomiting green and spinning heads. //

It's interesting that everyone remembers the 'spinning head' in the Exorcist, but imprinted on my memory as far more genuinely frightening were the moments when Reagan said to Karis, with utter chilling certainty "You're going to die up there …" and the second moment was when the demon spoke to Karis in the voice of the hobo he had met earlier on the street on the way to the house - only the demon could have known about that.

Far more frightening to me than some dodgy special effects.

My woman frightens me sometimes much more than the spinning head in the exorcist

Nailit @ Sun 19:50 - ''At peace?''
If you were at peace you would spend your valuable time pursuing something completely different.
Don't you agree?

[Theland]

Andy, it truly was a scary film.

I agree - so why are you relentlessly pursuing answers to the origin of the universe?

[Theland]

Andy, I pursue it to see how far materialistic science has got to answering the Big Questions.
I am at peace even in the midst of the trials and tribulations of my life, and there are many.

Then allow me to save you some valuable time -

The answer is - not very far at all!

[Theland]

Nicola Tesla said, (something like), we would have made more progress if science had spent the last ten years studying the non material aspects of the universe, than the whole of scientific history.

But alas, there is a prohibition on such free thinking, the scientific academic closed shop don't like it, and seriously admonish anybody who steps outside of their parameters.

[Theland]

We can calculate the history of the universe to within 10 to the minus 32 seconds of the big bang, before which, our known physical laws break down.
That's quite impressive.
Then the discovery of the background radiation left over from the big bang, again, quite impressive.

[Bobnunton]

Oh god just how can I compete with all these superior beings here who know god exists as they have met her

[Theland]

Bobnunton, why not investigate yourself?
Your opinions are as valid as any other.

[Bobnunton]

I do not have to investigate myself because I know who I am and where I have been and what I have done.

[Atheist]

Why do know-nothing people resort to Tesla?

[andy-hughes]

Atheist - // Why do know-nothing people resort to Tesla? //

Because they know nothing?

[Theland]

Andy, you and Atheist cannot make such statements unless you are endowed with superiors knowledge, or is it just a feeble attempt at humour?

[Atheist]

Yes, but Tesla is cool. He sounds like a real scientist, but a bit weird and he has become a cult figure with the anti-scientist people. For some reason they think that he had occult secrets that main science wants to conceal. Theland, do you understand any of Tesla's work? Do you know anything about him at all?
