For awhile now I have been reading about Demonology, and how it may fit in with World Events, all the Hatred amongst Islamic Factions in the Middle East, The snotty, arrogant, stuckup, better than you attitudes of Church people right here in America, Hatred in America, Hatred among Teenagers, crime etc, and I think it all Ties in to the Demonic in various ways, I have experienced the types of Attitudes mentioned above in several Churches, Why I dont attend anymore and Study the Bible at home.
Dealing with some of the Demon names, and I dont dare mention those names, because I feel it could draw attention to myself, however, all these years of Studying the Paranormal, Ghost Hunting, we all have caught the attention of demons Im sure. While the Bible says its wrong to study the Paranormal, and basically says its a sin, even reviewing and Listening to EVP is no different than Ghost Hunting, its all the same, and all a Sin.
I found some of the Demonic names and what they represent interesting.
We all have Lied and brought on Falsehoods, theres a demon for that.
A Demon for Laziness and impurity, Oh yeah, alot of that going on.
A Demon for Hatred, Oh yes, Thats one Busy Demon there.
A Demon for Impatients and Corruption, Those are very Busy Demons, Overtime Workers.
Almost forgot this demon,, the Demon of Lust, I know of no man or women (Other than God) who isnt infected with that demon.
So, Maybe the ole saying that, "We all have alittle Demon in us" is true.

I don't think any one would argue the point that there is satanic influence in our world. Despite what we call cultures, countries, regions, cities ,neighborhoods, when all is boiled down, it comes to individuals, even if we do choose to live collectively. The indivudual is the one who has to make choices. Not one of us is perfect, we all make choices that are not the best ones, whether from temptations, or true ingnorance (lacking knowledge). Whatever name we choose to assign to an entity, angel or otherwise, the ultimate choice of our actions, whether good or bad, lies with the Fred, Joe, Alice, or Ann that made that choice. All we can do is attempt to consciously try to make the best, informed choice, and if we do that individually ,then that collective-actions part will take care of itself.

I think there is alot of Satanic influence in our World, for instance, we study the Paranormal, the Bible specifically forbids us from contacting the dead, Whether its EVP's, or just trying to have a spirit manifest itself, That alone is a sin, and we know that the Devil tempts us at every turn to sin, so we continue to entertain the devil by doing something we know is wrong. such a powerful force..

I don't think any one would take up the position or argument that we do not have a sinful world, nor did/will I. I simply pointed out "individual responsibility/accountability". The closest thing we have to sin being forced upon us is being born imperfect into a sinful world. Thereafter, it's a matter of personal choices, and, sin we will, as we are all imperfect. This does not constitute a license to sin, as we do have choice, but simply points out that we will make the wrong choices eventually and inevitably, or one of us, however inadvertent, would be "perfect". The only fatal sin, is that of rejection of salvation. (Though some add suicide to this list.) And again, that doesn't mean a general license, as we should attempt to make our lives as close to that standard of "perfection" as we can.
In individual choice, I reaize you pointed a specific Event X, and took the position that it is sunful by its nature. I am not taking the position that this one Event X is also the Second Fatal Sin. Neither was the point argued that it is not the Second Fatal Sin. The point was made from the general statement "there is alot of Satanic influence", therefore, there is much to be done, across the board. In order to accomplish something, we must take a starting position. It was this that I addressed. Event Y/X/, or Z is opened for discussion, then:
Individual P may state: 1. This Event is a sin. 2. This Event is not a sin OR, the following could apply, in life, as opposed to formal debate 3. Individual P could not be aware that Event has happened in the past, is happening in the present, or may happen in the future. (total non-awareness)
THEN, if 1 or 2: we may postulate: A. I will participate in the Event, regardless of 1 or 2 B. I will not participate in the Event, regardless of 1 or 2 OR C. Invididual P, through non-awareness, may/may not participate in the Event, by being in the right/wrong place at the right/wrong time, and simply carrying on with his life/thoughts, as thoughts themselves may be right or wrong/sinful or not sinful.
It is here that we have failed in either attempts at education, or improper analysis leading to nonawareness this if R and S happen, then Event T is imminent.
All the data in the world is useless if we fail to look at it, THEN, Make a Proper Analysis. There are three items that are sealed in lead containers, never to be opened except in case of dire emergencies. These are: 1. Uranium 2. Plutonium and 3. Texts on Philosophy.
Personally, I believe that all analysts shoud be exposed to basic philosophy. NOT on a specific subject, as first, but philosophy as a process, then the specific subject of religion, science, paranormal, government, botany, etc., may be BETTER understood. Again, all the data in the world is useless without proper analysis. This also helps us not to confuse "facts", with that which is simply "data". And proper analysis allows the party making the argument of science, etc. to support the argument/debate when called upon to do so.
This, again, is presented as a general statement, not as a specific reply to a specific debate, as we seem to have agreed that there is much work to be done in an otherwise imperfect world. I propose that to solve problems, we need a process, which has existed for many centuries, but is now too often overlooked, or reagrded with disfavor, or misunderstanding of what it actually constitutes.

Foot is about 95% healed, still tender. Water damages from weather keeping me hopping. First day I've been 100% in the office, and not putting in 14-16 hours/day, and working weekends in quite a while. With this thaw, may end up working tonight and tomorrow, though.
