Why haven't I ever seen any demons?

Awhile back here on Blogit I had one blogger describe to me a demon she had seen. She offered this vision as proof that demons do in fact exist, I did not believe a word of it.

Is exorcism real? - No it is not

Probably the greatest disservice that any producer of any form of entertainment ever perpetrated on the general public was when the producer of the movie "The Exorcist" added the all encompassing con line: "Based on a true story" to the titles.

Social conditioning and how to recognize it

If there is one thing that can be said of modern day religious beliefs it is that those who are adherents to our societies' major religions have been conditioned to think in certain ways.

It would seem as if this blog headline would be a no brainer but so many people begin attempting to discredit contentions, beliefs and theories from a position of woeful ignorance. For most of us; we are not scientists and may not have the knowledge or ability to always discern what the scientific...
