I find it hard to believe that anyone accepts anything
on assumption ... but they do.
​
The issue of the dangers of blind belief are vast.
​
The issue here was rejecting something without evidence
against it.
​
I agree that acts carried out under the assumption of demonic
possesion are often heinous -- I don't think anyone here would
dispute that.
​
I have to disagree that we have any direct evidence against
(or for) the existence of demons.
​
Absence of evidence NEVER builds sufficeintly to be evidence
of absence.

I don't want to be misunderstood here.
​
I neither condone, nor agree with any excorcism
ativity that I have ever heard of -- and that includes
the Catholic churches formal evidences of possesion
(most likely set aside by now in any case).
​
All I am saying is that we have no evidence that demons
exist or do not exist.
​
The safest assumption when confronted with an unusual
malady is that it is perfectly natural and treat it
accordingly.
