My Encounter With Allah, Fox News and possibly the CIA.

Do you believe in demons/devils?Sounds like some of their antics to me.

Schizophrenia, yes, but that level of hallucinatory experience doesn't happen without demonic input.

No, I'd be telling him he needs to talk to an exorcist.

Richard Simmons an exorcist?Sorry, over my head.Really, not an exorcist, a pastor, because I don't know where he'd find an exorcist who wasn't a charlatan. But an exorcism is what it sounds to me like he needs. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

No, there have been some genuine ones. Usually pastors who found themselves having to deal with this sort of thing and had to learn it on the job as it were.In the early church, exorcisms were performed routinely as people became believers out of occultic backgrounds. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Witchburning didn't happen until the middle ages. Casting out demons from new believers was standard before that.

Not interested in learning anything, are you? This kind of mental illness is beyond mental illness. The mind doesn't do things like that, this has something supernatural to it. And besides, I said that's what I'd tell him if he were a Christian. Not that context matters to you either.

I know, I must enjoy abuse or I wouldn't try to make them aware of reality.

There's plenty of testimony to demon spirits from both the practitioners of shamanistic religions and from Christians who have encountered demon spirits, not to mention scripture which reports on them and is evidence too, but you will deny such testimony, discredit the witnesses as crazy just as you always do and confirm your own prejudice BY your prejudice, and since the spirits are normally invisible (although they can manifest physically in some cases) there's no other kind of evidence. So you can maintain your illusion indefinitely, unless God permits a demon spirit to manifest to you personally. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Consistency, similarity of testimony, many witnesses to same kind of phenomena, etc.

In the case of UFOs yes I believe they are witnessing something real, although I don't thnk they are visitors from other planets. And there you have it.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UFOs are demonic manifestations of some sort.ETs are demons or similar beings. Reports of encounters make that clear.The "gods" are also demons.There is such a thing as psychic power; if real it's usually caused by demons. It's also quite fakable too of course.Spoonbenders I don't know. Demons can manifest physically in some ways. Various Hindu gurus have been able to manifest some things physically, usually trivia, trinkets. Spoonbending probably not too difficult if you're in touch with the right demons.Have no idea what mermaids are or what the testimony is to them, or bigfoot either.

Anything with hallucinations is probably influenced by demons. I don't know but I had a schizophrenic brother who killed himself when they changed him from one anti-psychotic med to another. He always said he had voices telling him to do things. We'll never know but a voice probably told him to kill himself. I didn't say all were caused by demons, and I would never recommend an exorcism to a nonChristian, and there are plenty of fake or just unknowledgable exorcists. The person has to be willing to change anyway -- the reason demons gain access is because of false beliefs and sinful lives. The testimony was to their existence, period. Not to their role in mental illness. As far as I know little or nothing has ever been done in relation to possible demonic causes of mental illness.

Those drugs are used in shamanistic religions and there is some question whether it is the chemicals alone or the demonic influence associated with the drugs' use that causes the hallucinations. Demon lore has it that they associate themselves with certain places and substances so they'd just follow the drugs to the new users.In the OP, the buzzing noise and the orange flash are phenomena I've seen reported of demonic enounters in other circumstances. Also read Jacques Vallee on UFO appearances, some of which are characterized by similar phenomena. He argues that they are not extraterrestricals but some sort of spiritual deception, and he's not even a Christian. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

For some evidence concerning the nature of UFOs I did suggest reading Jacques Vallee, who researched the phenomena and concluded they were not physical but some sort of deception by spirit beings.Jacques Valle - Wikipedia He's not a Christian but from a Christian point of view such deception would be the work of demons or fallen angels.Descriptions of the beings that some claim to have encountered with UFO type phenomena, if of course you believe anything such people report of their experiences, simply suggest demons again to someone who believes the Bible.Some Christians think there may be other kinds of spirit beings, but the Bible at least refers to fallen angels, how they are worshiped by the world's religions as "gods" and placated by sacrifices, and how they possess human beings if given an entry.Of course if you don't believe any of these things, people's reports of their own experiences, or the Biblical reports of people's experiences either, then I guess nothing is going to convince you.
