So what's the pre-requisite for being able to see angels and demons? Is it just believing in them beforehand?

With all respect, unevidenced personal experience means little to me. The mind can do strange things under cognitive bias. Why don't I see angels around me when I'm in a tricky situation? Can anyone explain to me what a 'god' is?

Or maybe simply fiction is just fiction and truth is elsewhere if Occam's razor be applied. Don't you ever, just once, wonder why you never see gods, angels or demons floating around you? Do you never feel like you want to question yourself about mythical based creatures? Can you even tell me...

That sounds like the (convoluted) primary plot of Star Wars.

If he's simply a vase to a potter why didn't god the potter just get rid of him then? Or at least revoke the angel powers he was given. I'm still unsure what satan did, apart from wanting to be more powerful, that warranted such hatred for him. Was he ever given a platform to explain himself...

So, a free thinking angel who didn't fancy following the rules, created by god. Not wanting to rile you all but it was god that invoked a worldwide genocide by flood wasn't it? Apart from being a bit of a rebel, what was so evil about satan?

What did Satan do exactly to earn all the bad press? From my limited understanding, he was a pretty tame character in your bible compared to god.

It's not just your god I don't believe in, I also.dont believe in the thousands of other gods that you don't believe in as well. When adults talk of curses/spells, gods, angels, giants, devils or any other such supernatural stuff as though it's real I feel sad that as we reach out to discover...

Don't remember sorry. I've a pretty poor memory though so don't take it personal.

Welcome me old. I was at CF before they ejected me.

Nope. I tend to steer well clear of stuff like that mainly because I don't believe it.

My thoughts and reason come from me, there are no supernatural forces directing my actions I assure you. I'm fairly low on the emotional scale I suppose but hardly 'dark and echoing with emptiness'. I'm a pretty nice person overall I think. At least thats what my family and friends would tell...

I'm not sure whether I should take this seriously or not. Putting spells on people is in the realms of fantasy books, it's not reality. For the sake of argument though and accepting that your curse was the cause of overdose, who was it that you contacted in the supernatural world to transfer...

Im sorry but if that's what your sister thinks then she's not a biologist. She's denying evidence in favour of religious mantra. There's no such thing as a micro/macro distinction in the ToE.

Tell me what a 'lying spirit' is please my friend? And how do you know I am full of it?

It still don't fit right with an omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent god though does it?

Fair enough, I still don't get it.

Not sure if I'm allowed to post in here but anyway... This sort of statement (not personally Josiah) really puts me off religion. I understand the Jesus atonement etc.. stuff but IF there was an all loving/knowing/powerful god that created everything, would it REALLY wish you to grind yourself...

I agree with you. Perhaps we are trying to shoehorn a very wide scope of philosophy and trust of evidence based research into a single term - 'faith'. It just doesn't seem to fit, it needs a new word. I'm not sure how anyone could accept some aspects of ToE but disregard others. I'd be...

You can deny it all you like but the ToE is the most supported and evidenced theory of all. As I said in another thread, it forms a cornerstone of all modern biology, it simply can't be refuted. There's a very good reason that it is taught in all established higher education biology classes...
