If there is a Demon then there must be Satan (and also other Demons...)
If there is Satan then there must be God (as Satan is defined by his relationship to God)
Therefore if there is a Demon then there is God
I believe that I am haunted by a Demon
Therefore, for me personally, there is proof towards there being a God
I don't expect people to believe me about this but I hope people will think that this is at least reasonable
I don't know why I'm haunted by a Demon...
But I know that the battle for my mind is only a small part of a much, much greater war
we are all hauntedI don't know why I'm haunted by a Demon...
What is the reason why you believe a demon is haunting you? What I mean by this is, what makes you think that it's a demon. What are the things that has happened?If there is a Demon then there must be Satan (and also other Demons...)

I don't believe it is some kind of free-lance "spirit" who floats about between people as a way of life - it is my own personal Screwtape

What makes you think that, Eddi?I believe that I am haunted by a Demon
Since 2004 I've had a thing that communicates with me by touching my bodyWhat makes you think that, Eddi?
Thank you for sharing. I did not know this, and this makes much more sense then devil/Satan to me.In ancient Greece, a daimon was a supernatural being that did not have an established cult. The famous philosopher Socrates called the moral force inside every human a daimon, which would be similar in characteristic to what us modern people tend to call a "conscience".
Also, a lot of supernatural beings from non-European mythologies and religions tend to be translated as "demons".
I'd say the existence of such "demons" or daimones would not necessarily justify the existence of a (post-)Biblical Satan.
Daimon (Ancient Greek: δαίμων / daímon; Latin: dæmon; Dutch: daimoon) is originally the term in Greek mythology for a usually benevolent creature standing somewhere between gods and mortals, a supernatural being such as an inferior deity.
Although Homer used the words θεοί ('gods') and δαίμονες ('daimones') practically as a synonym, later writers like Plato made a distinction between the two. [2] In Cratylus (398b) Plato explains the etymology of δαίμονες ('daimones') as δαήμονες ('daēmones') which means 'knowing the wise', although the origin of the word is more likely due to daiō, which means "the distribution of destinies."

Wow! How frustrating and disturbing! Sorry to hear that.Since 2004 I've had a thing that communicates with me by touching my body
Because of this I have been diagnosed as schizophrenic
I believe that I am being haunted by a demon
Meds haven't made it go away, but prayer and willpower have for the past couple of days shut it up a lot
