Paranoid Schitzophrenia
When were you first diagnosed with this disease and did you stop taking your medication?

Paranoid Schizophrenia
It really does sound like you have schizophrenia.
Oh, big time... And it sounds like he's either never been diagnosed (which I would find amazing, because he seems a very severe case) or he's off his meds because he's manic right now.

Speaking out of your ass
Schizophrenia, yes, but that level of hallucinatory experience doesn't happen without demonic input.
What??? Give me a fucking break! People like you are the reason why people with mental illnesses were tortured and murdered in the past.

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.
Ho...... LY...... SHIT.... Find the tallest structure in your city, climb to the top, and jump, because we can't "suffer a witch to live."
Maybe you should be committed right along with this guy. You two have so much in common. You're both delusional.

Re: Explaining The Mystery Of Good And Evil
Are you old enough to remember David Berkowitz, (aka) Son Of Sam who's now serving a life sentence?
Yes, he claimed the his dog made him do it.
A number of years ago he was born again
Yeah, I heard.
Of course the diabolical things that appear to be evidenced in some humans, is just one more evidence for the Biblical record, the existence of good and evil entities of a higher intelligence than humans and as evidence of evil spirits, both evil (demon) and good (Holy Spirit) capable of entering into the very minds and bodys of humans.
There is no evidence, whatsoever, that "evil entitites of higher intelligence" exist. You just have people who have done horrific things and people of religious persuasion claiming that the devil made them do it. That in no way proves anything other than pure speculation.
To completely contradict your previous statement, I give you Dennis Rader, otherwise known as B.T.K. (Bind, Torture, Kill), brutally massacred, as his pseudonym implies, 10 people in Witchita all while being a pastor at his church. Yet, no one knew of his dark ways, let alone the anointed people in his church. So what does that tell you?
I suspect A No True Scotsman fallacy coming.

Re: Re Supernatural
There's plenty of testimony to demon spirits
There's also been plenty of testimony to flying saucers and bigfoot too. Does that make it so?
but you will deny such testimony, discredit the witnesses as crazy just as you always do
The people claiming it are usually just ignorant, not crazy. The people they claim are demon possessed are the crazy ones. They don't know how to rationally explain it so they make up elaborate stories just like you are doing.

Re: Re Supernatural
UFOs are demonic manifestations of some sort.
You say this with such certainty as if this is common knowledge. Can you please provide evidence for this and how you know this to be true? Because it sounds like how this works is you come up with some pet theory and then stamp your own seal of approval.
ETs are demons or similar beings. Reports of encounters make that clear.
Why or how is that clear?
The "gods" are also demons.
No, the "gods" are a combination between natural phenomena and irrational fear. Come to think of it, your "demons" seem to fit nicely in to that category.

Re: Re Supernatural
As an alternative to the extraterrestrial visitation hypothesis, Valle has suggested a multidimensional visitation hypothesis. This hypothesis represents an extension of the ETH where the alleged extraterrestrials could be potentially from anywhere. The entities could be multidimensional beyond space-time, and thus could coexist with humans, yet remain undetected.
If they're undetectable, then how are they detected in order to determine they're undetectable?
He's not a Christian but from a Christian point of view such deception would be the work of demons or fallen angels.
With how little the bible actually discusses demons, I find it incredulous that whole theories concern them.
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.
Evidence would convince me. There just isn't any and that's the problem. So we are left with people trying to convince other people based only on their testimony. With how many charlatans, crooks, and swindlers there are in this world, our word is no long our bond.
The second problem is that you appear to suffer from a particularly bad case of confirmation bias. You search for reasons or explanations that would corroborate your beliefs about the bible. Instead of following the evidence wherever it leads, you manipulate the evidence to try and take it where you want it to go. That means that you've lost all objectivity on the matter in which case you've lost the ability for people to trust you.

Re: Re Supernatural
No, I don't "search for" stuff that confirms what I believe or manipulate any evidence. When information comes up that fits what I know from the Bible then I apply it and your accusation is unwarranted.
Are you saying that you don't have preconceived notions in your mind?
Obviously it is the behavior of the phenomena that led Vallee to hypothesize about the invisible beings that could be behind it. The phenomena, the manifestations, the deceptions themselves, aren't undetectable though the beings may be. Use your head.
You're telling me to use my head all the while citing some obscure Frenchman, who even the quacks think he's a quack, about flying saucers that are really demons. But you are telling me to use my head? This is baseless nonsense. You don't want to believe in little green men because the bible doesn't talk about them, but since the bible talks about demons, flying saucers are now a way to prove to others [and yourself, more importantly] that the tales in the bible are true.
This is you searching for ways in which you confirm your preexisting bias.
Enough is said about demons in the Bible to support theories about them. That they are worshipped as gods for instance, that sacrifices were made by the pagans to their demon gods, that they possess people and can be cast out under the right circumstances (the name of Jesus Christ the main circumstance) and more. All these things can be seen in tribal religions all over the world even up to today.
Nowhere in the bible does it say that demons were worshiped as gods. All it says is that it is idolatrous, is a sin, and you shouldn't therefore do it. You would think that if what you say is true, all the writers of the bible referencing pagan idolatry would expose the true source [demons], but they don't. That's because this is one of your pet theories. It isn't based on anything reasonable or even biblical. You're just taking one reported phenomena and fusing it with your beliefs; using its credibility to bring light to your own beliefs.
It's taking vague references about "powers and principalities" and forming conclusions far beyond their merit, when legitimate disassociative disorders exist and afflict hundreds of thousands.
Even if they existed it would be you giving life to the demons and giving them power by affirming and acknowledging their existence.

Re: Re Supernatural
Every verse you cited in my bible is listed as god (lowercase) or idols, as in false gods, which are synonymous with idolatry. What translation are you using that uses the word "devils?"

Re: Re Supernatural
The King James. Once again Ye Olde King James makes clear what the modern versions obscure
Are you a King James Onlyist?
although really I would think "gods" ought to be a clear enough reference to demonic beings and "idols" as well, in the contexts given.
I wouldn't. I mean, what is a demon? You might say a fallen angel, but what are they and what the hell is their problem? The only clearly identifiable allusion is that they're bad and mean.

Re: Re Supernatural
If you know the Bible at all you should know about the fallen angels, no?
I know the reference commonly cited in Ezekiel, but I disagree with the conclusion. That's a whole debate unto itself though.
They like to come as wise ones, as "Ascended Masters" for instance. They are also behind oracles and occult practices, ouija boards and tarot cards, witchcraft, voodoo.
This doesn't strike you as hysteria? If so, isn't it entirely possible that the people who talk the most about the travails of demonolgy could be the one's seduced? Demons playing a blame-shifting game where they seduce people to believe that mental illness is the cause of demons when in reality, it is demons who are getting people to go on witch hunts through hysteria.
