What does demon possession mean to you?

[Muffled]

How about Bronze Age ignorance and superstition.

I think it makes more sense than modern medicinal superstition.

Demon possession is real. Since you aren't familiar with the occult, you are unaware of that.

"Demon possession", although a bit generalized, as a description, is a main feature in the occult.

There is occult with possession, and occult without possession. The lines here can get blurred, though, when nonpossession occult is practiced in a certain manner.

LOLOL.. I don't believe in the supernatural or the occult. I am surprised that you do. Its superstitious BS.

I believe he is absolutely wrong that that is always the case. No doubt the psych can cause a lot of trouble for instance in paranoia which is the most common mental problem the psyche remembers a bad event and causes the person to avoid circumstances because of it. It doesn't takeover the brain but does influence it. For instance I broke my arm roller skating to the tune of "Living on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi. Now when I hear that song on the radio I drive more carefully. My brain understands that the action is irrational but is not possessed by it just influenced. That is not how demonic influence and possession work. Granted the demons do look for a weak spot and a psychic problem might just be that.

There are no demons. Have you ever been in a possession trance?

What is modern medicinal superstition?

I believe, blood letting restores a persons health, is a fairly recent one. The fact is that people don't know it is a superstition at the time but only find out later.

I believe I never have. My spirit is very strong willed.

In the modern day, I ask this sincerely.

It's a phrase that's so common in the books I cringe every time I hear it. It's clearly a sign of medical ignorance.

It's an outdated thought, or so I hope.

I suppose you are going to tell me that demons are not real but just illogical thinking. I believe my experience and my wife's say otherwise. It isn't thinking but is the word of God who knows everything and our experiences back that up in modern times.

No, not real...

 

[EtuMalku]

No, not real...

Not 'objectively' real . . .

 

[Muffled]

No, not real...

Then I believe you are refusing to listen to the evidence and just making this up in your head.

Not 'objectively' real . . .

I don't believe you are being objective.
