  This discussion, i feel, only proves the disparate disconnect between a 'concept' (existence of demons) and an absolute (cold, hard, 'palpable' evidence that CANNOT be refuted or denied by any intelligent and reasonable human mind).

  it could be akin to once attempting to prove that the sun (or earth) was/wasn't the center of the universe, and eventually man accepted whatever proof or evidence of it became recorded.

  will we one day have absolute proof of the existence of demons? hard to say. we have so far so much evidence of so many other once 'inconceivable' claims, why is this not the case with demons?

  there is still a small (very small) part in my brain that says there is a chance, but its becoming reduced more and more.

  man can be 'demonic' (murdering, hateful, abusive) there is plenty of proof of that.

  Thanks for the responses.

  Perhaps one would have to 'experience' such an incident so as to feel absolutely shure. I've become very skeptic and one cannot deny the incredible lack of evidence to support the existence of demons (evidence that everybody and anybody can dissect and draw real conclusions from).

  i'd reason that evidence of such 'demons' in turn is evidence of God since both must exist. I don't believe that this method is going to work though.

  How is Life measured at Death?

  recently an old friend died in an accident at the tender age of 35. the unfortunate event has been described from 'sad' to 'unfair' etc.. dying of old age is one thing, dying of sickness even.. but dying abruptly in an accident (or worse, being eaten by another creature, shark etc) is downright ludicrious.. if there is no afterlife in any shape or form, and one dies being struck by a surviving drunk driver or murdered at a theater, a tornado, or mauled by piranhas, what the hell is the point of that??.

  what of all your work to raise a good family, helping your fellow man, doing good deeds, building something etc.??.

  it's almost laughable to think that one can do all these things and in the broad spectrum of things death can make it all ultimately meaningless....

  cofty,

  you mention finding a meaning in life.

  if we are to fully do this and fully allow it of any individual as his/her naturally given right, then can we criticize others for searching for said meaning?

  in example, a terrorist/freedom fighter, Assad/kim yong-il like opressor, sexual predator, etc?

  i know im going off subject on my own thread here (and i'm not arguing with you, the idea simply came into my head)

  but this concept of living purely in the now seems to also underline the same frustrating 'futility'.

  Is 'evil' an invention of man??

  by Monsieur in

  recently i read some essays on animal behavorial patterns and i must say i'm shocked at how little difference (when you honestly consider it) there is between said animals and us, human beings.. this is a very new concept for me personally but here is my take on it (i'm sure its not so new, ex.

  evolution) - what if humans in fact are mimicking animals, and not the other way around as we'd like to think.. displays of love and affection, clinginess, mourning etc, they all exist in the animal kingdom, but how are we so different?

  a pack of wolves attack and kill a caribou for dinner and its considered nature, the same wolves hunt down a lost man in the woods and now its considered 'evil', and if there are any forest rangers around its guaranteed that they will shoot these wolves.. man's heartless treatment of man is considered 'evil', but if evolution is of any indication (in terms of survival of the fittest) is the 'term' evil just a word to appease our so called conscious?.

  as a species, we are obviously more mentally advanced, thus the concept of God. Does our propensity for defining 'God' exist simply because our minds are capable enough to form a 'concept' of god and equally capable of communicating this concept?

  in the same sense that we are capable enough to travel into outer space ( a far more complicated 'concept' to comprehend in my opinion).

  so our minds are just capable enough for this type of thinking, nothing more and nothing less perhaps?
