Muslims, do you believe in Djinns? Chrsitians, do you believe in Demons?

He also said he reads the Washington Times. And doesn't read the Post because it's "ridiculously liberal". He's a freshly baked loonmuffin.

With great power and a lifetime appointment. That's almost enough to get me believing in Satan!

Hello. Absolutely demons exist and live among us. Look at our Planet's resources being consumed and climate change also the spiritual depletion(evidence of locusts) while others seem to be very happy and little trouble. Plenty of verses in the Christian Bible . Daniel 2:43 for one and the beginning of the book of Joel ..many more .
There is another about an "abomination of desolation" commonly explained as destruction of temple in 75 A.D but it also says "let the reader understand" which could very well mean that some people will be singled out to see something that the others don't see .
If demons did exist among us would they not be "standing where they ought not" ?(Another quote from Bible)

This is not something you can just make up, i have witnessed it happening to one of my very best friends and it was scary to say the least.

Yes, I believe in a vague sense. But if someone claimed they have been themselves or know of someone who knows someone who has been possessed by jinns, I'd assume there was a more rational/logical/medical explanation.

Trying constantly to pull us away from the good, from making good decisions, as Christ would want us to do, etc. I believe the more and more people make the wrong decisions, the weaker their consciences become, and the more susceptible they are to evil influences/demons/whatever you may call it.

I am a Lutheran and agree with this. My DC will be confirmed in a few weeks and one of the promises they make is to renounce the Devil. I find it hard to explain the world without the Devil and his demonic crew.

Alcohol is the devil's drink. So seductive and mainstream yet does so much damage.

I am Hindu and I do believe in Jinnat. I have met several people in India who have exorcised ghosts and Jinns. And I have witnessed minor possessions and black magic. I have personally witnessed two incidents but I would never share what I have seen to someone who was not familiar with stuff like this..

Every Jinn exist in a very specific time and place and it is through very specific circumstances through which they can even come into contact with us. It is like a residual energy that can only do one or two repetitive action. It is scary when you experience it though!

If there is a devil then he would have created alcohol. It is the perfect drink for evil because it is loved by many, socially acceptable yet will make people behave in ways they never would if sober.
