Atheists and Evil Spirit Possesion

*Sigh* You can go troll somewhere else if you want.

Oh, please. What was your "maybe the virgin birth was artificial insemination"? Such a languished and victimized weeping when the table is turned. Is your own medicine so bitter?

That's just as plausible an explanation as a divine virgin birth. It was a legitimate question. You're just saying stuff to be annoying.

It was a legitimate question! hahaha Like that's why the poster you were addressing believes in the virgin birth! Yeah, you were just asking a legit question:

In other words you can't stand to have your religion challenged, so you call it bigotry. I'd like to hear you explain how the virgin birth doesn't conflict with science, unless you think they had artificial insemination back then.

How do we KNOW that your question was not legit? Because when I took that very position you accused me of trolling.

I wasn't trolling. I was proving a point. QED

No, you didn't take the same position. I never said that it was artificial insemination. I posited that as one possible option that would make some scientific sense. I also never said that that's why the poster believes in the virgin birth. Again, I only offered it as a possible scientific explanation. The reason I said you were trolling is because weren't even attempting to provide an argument, you were just trying to mock me.
 
No, you didn't take the same position.

You asked the guy if that was his reason. When I said it was my reason, you claimed I was trolling. Therefore, your question cannot have been legit, as you refuse to accept its affirmation.

This is plain, clear logic and beyond deniability.

you were just trying to mock me.

False. I was mocking your dishonest question.

No, that's not clear logic. I called you a troll because of statements like "Case closed."
 
Well, you can think what you want, I suppose.

Thanks for being sensitive and kind. I'll try to be more gentle and avoid such harsh language.
 
Well played. Very well played. :lol:

I just hope we've all learned a lesson and there will be no more use of the term "case closed". I only hope that we can move forward and this case is not rendered shut.
 
Perhaps, but I sure do believe in God and demonic possession. Anyone who has read and believes in the bible should know that when Jesus was on the earth people were possessed. Why would that have stopped in todays world??

really?

how bizarre!

I guess one thing that coming to these forums has taught me is that medieval thinking is alive and well in the west.
 
So I was thinking to myself the following question. If atheists don't believe in God which in turn makes them not believe in the devil, what is their opinion about people who are "possesed" by evil spirits or devils???

they think you are mentally ill

but no drug can lessen the symptoms of being under the influence of these creatures

no l am not referring to anything about "exorcist " :mrgreen:

They're either mentally or physically ill or doing it purposely for attention.

Do you not believe in crazy people? Or to you is everyone who is bat **** crazy possessed by a demon?

I personally do not believe in devils, demons, Satan, hell or possession and I am not an atheist...
 
I'm pretty sure they do. People believe in all sorts of unscientific things, including ghosts, crystals, reincarnation, souls, angels and demonic possession.

On a side note, demonic possession never made sense to me in a more modern Christian ethical context. The whole premise of Christian ethics depends on free will; how can an individual be held accountable for a powerful spiritual entity that eliminates that free will?

If you haven't seen it yet, you might want to put Kumare into your Netflix queue....



Belief systems are usually not based in science, as there are still many things that science is unable to explain....
 
Clearly not what I am talking about. You don't believe, that is your problem, the spiritual realm is real, you should fear for your soul.



Yes, the spiritual realm is real, but there are no demons there... Your soul/spirit really has nothing to fear except fear itself...
