[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question:  do you genuinely believe you can summon a demon?  Like what, draw a baphomet and have one appear?

If so  you might want to lay off whatever substances you've been taking. 
Or you've been watching too much Supernatural .[/quote]

Summoning a demon is a thing that people across cultures and throughout history have addressed in probably every aspect of human communication and expression, and you think op is on drugs? [/quote]

DP here.

The reference to substances was clearly not literal.

No credible evidence exists of someone "summoning a demon".  If any did, this discussion would not exist.  I am guessing that was PP's point minus the hyperbole.[/quote]

No, [b]nobody knows[/b] if demons can actually be summoned. But it’s a very wondered about and discussed topic. It’s not something only high people think about. [/quote]

Huh? What do you mean nobody knows? I know. The answer is no, and I know that because there is no compelling proof of it that has ever been offered to me.[/quote]

So you believe that only things that have been proven to you specifically exist?[/quote]

pp is the center of the universe and all knowledge is contained within them. [/quote]

Well, I mean, maybe PP is, according to you. You can't disprove that PP isn't the center of the universe and the font of all knowledge.

In any event, the onus is on the person making the assertion of a thing's existence. When your kid says "there's a monster under my bed," you don't seriously think to yourself, "yeah, I mean, maybe there is. I believe there isn't but little Johnny says there is. So it's a 50/50 chance." As Hitchens' Razor puts it: that which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. [/quote]
