Do you believe that demons exist?
I was surprised today when I read that a writer, whose work I find really inspiring, said that he actually believed in demons, as separate entities, not as part of the personality.
So, I'd welcome other people's views.

Yes I do believe they exist. Not sure how to explain it, but I do.

No, actually, it was Thomas Keating, Ted mentioned him a few months ago and I've now read several of his books. I'm unsure what Jung's stance on demons was. I thought he viewed demons as part of a split psyche, but I could well be wrong. If you come across anything, I'd appreciate hearing more. Thanks, Sheryl and WW. If you could say more, I'd find it helpful.

Re: Do you believe that demons exist?
I believe in angels. And if God cast those who went against him down to earth, then they do have to exist.

Matt Demon isn't such a bad dude, although he was a toughy to kill in the Bourne movies..

Re: Do you believe that demons exist?
Sure I do. More so, however, that it would be evil manifesting itself into a form we view as human, although they could be in spirit form as well.

Re: Do you believe that demons exist?
No. There was some excuse in medieval times when people didn't understand mental illness and demon possession seemed to make sense as an explanation. Now there is no excuse for such a ridiculous belief. It's right up there with believing that being born with a birth defect is a judgement from god. It's depressing anyone believes such nonsense nowadays.

Re: Do you believe that demons exist?
I most definately believe in demons. I think demons have labels. Some are less agressive than others. Some are controllable by the host, others are not controllable. Some demons are uninvited guests, some are beckoned by the host, some are firmly imbedded from birth. In the later case, the human body really is just a shell housing the demon. There is no other entity in there.That is the caase with subjects like Ted Bundy, Son of Sam. and all serial killers.
