No evidence any of that exists. I understand people don't like it when existence of god is questioned, but why should anyone object when it is pointed out that terrifying concepts like demons and "negative energies" are completely made up?

Drop your fear and ignorance. You can believe in your god without needing to live in fear of these terrible bogeyman things there is no evidence for.

that's fine that you don't think it's real, but I presume OP believes in God, and is asking if demon possession is real. My point is that if God is real (to OP) why couldn't a demon? And if OP believes that the Holy spirit can reside in us, why can't a demon? This question is not to people like you, who don't believe in either.


It can! Anything can exist if there is no standard of evidence. Now, what are you going to do with that information? Choose to believe in an invisible God who loves you and wants you to be happy and has the power to inspire you, or choose to believe invisible devil, who hates you and wants you to suffer, and has the power torture you? Or choose to believe in a flying spaghetti monster?

Leaps of faith are your choice.

What is fear if not a negative energy. It is palpable, it can be felt, sensed by animals, etc.

Religious concepts were originally names for things people didn't understand. Now that science has figured out what many of these things are, they are retrofitted as metaphors.


Metaphor isn't technically the right word though, just a renaming.

Then call it that and don't blame it on some bronze age supernatural monster. That helps no one.

The point to know is that you are in control of your thoughts and actions for good and if you aren't you have a mental illness or substance abuse and need to seek help.

Why do you think there are serial killers ? Why do they name their entities ?
Why do so many shooters say they don't remember shooting anyone ?
Why do psych doctors refuse to admit there is possibly demon possessed people ?
Simple fact, devil on one shoulder angel on the other.
All of the Popes were demons.
We are about to see many many demons. The ones that sold their souls for fame and fortune.
Speaking in tongues IS demon possession.

Please turn to science, OP.

Your particular brain make-up is causing you to self-harm. You need to talk to a psychiatrist, who will analyze all your symptoms and suggest the right therapist, and perhaps, medication.

You can have religious faith and also know that modern medicine can help you.

"Demons" is just lack of scientific understanding of mental illness.


but why couldn't mental illness be a symptom of demonic influence?


Because you can't define what a "demon" is, see one, or measure one.

We can't see God, but many people still believe. If you believe there is a god, why couldn't you believe that there is a demon? If you can believe that the Holy Spirit can reside in a person, why couldn't a demon?

Why can we accept a benevolent god being in us but not an evil being?
