Who & what are the demons ?

Neutral in that the moderators do not take one side or the other and that everyone has an equal chance to say what they want. You can say anything you want. I am not a moderator. Just don't expect us to respond favorably to illogical, unsubstantiated statements that add nothing to the discussion. Examining what message. The topic is "Who and what are demons", not Bible Study 101 with John 10:10.

So not only is your god the "god of the gaps" as related to scientific knowledge but in the "god of the gaps" when it comes to medical cases. This psychosis is dangerous because instead of studying the symptoms to discover its possible causes you are resorting to superstition and religious ritual thus putting someones life in danger.I stand by my statement that you are a danger to mankind.Edited by DevilsAdvocate, : No reason given.

So tell me a case in modern history where an exorcist has performed exorcism and someone has gotten better physically and/or psychologically after doctors and psychologists have scratched their heads in fustration and "have tried everything they know and nothing has helped to bring these patients into their right minds"?Please give me one modern and substantiated case with expert witnesses where this has happened? So we should be hearing in the headline news around the world how Christians are expelling demons and performing medical miracles? Right?Chirp, Chirp, Chirp

I think we are making progress. John 10:10 said MAYBE! Maybe science and medicine will eventually make the concept of demon possession to become a non sequitur.

Until you can provide some sort of scientific and medical verification of the succesful practice exorcism during a controled (preferebly double blind or at least single blind) experiment, which is the standard in field of psychiatry and drug studies, then the practice of exorcism is relegated to the same realm of pseudoscience as quack, snake oil medicines and the fake, faith healings of the evangelicals i.e Benny Hinn and Peter Popov.BTW, a dubious story of an exorcism written by a psychiatrist, who himself is a member of a religiously biased board in the pay of the Roman Catholic Church, and published in newspapers and religious journals published by the Roman Catholic Church vice an unbiased peer review medical journal is not convincing and fails the test as being credible.Edited by DevilsAdvocate, : No reason given.
