well since i do believe there is good and evil, light and darkness, for you cant have one without the other we need a balance in life. i must say yes i do believe in demons. Not to worship but to acknowledge their existence... If they didn't exist with all the evil happening in this world it would be terrifying to think it is just that mankind is a plague to ourselves.

yes. I understand that the majority of people on here are not Christian, so I will no assume that we all believe in the Bible... but if you do then you see evidence of demons... Direct encounters with demons and it's not just Jesus who encounters them... The idea that they're "bad" angels is a bit off too I think... but for sure Biblical evidence supports the existence of actual supernatural beings that are evil called demons.
Denying their existence is a dangerous proposition... Kind of like denying that terrorists exist.... by doing so you just make it easier for their attack. For Tips of resisting demon attacks check out Ephesians 6.

How can people look at the state of our world and NOT believe in "demons"?

That I fully expect large numbers of people to say "yes" makes me wonder - would these people simply prefer to take a time machine back a thousand years or so instead of living in the modern age?
Progress on disease and mental illness only happened when the idea of demons as causal agents was abandoned. Indeed, blaming ANY bad thing on "demons" is simply an excuse not to do anything except get a thrill from believing in something scary.

Curious as to the reason you ask this question. Personally, I am a Christian and I believe in Jesus - ergo I must also believe in demons.
Anyone claiming to believe in the God of the Old / New testament of the Holy Bible (or Torrah) must also believe in the demons.

Yes. I believe that Demons are actually bad angels who fell from God's grace, like Lucifer did. The good news though is that only 1/3 fell so for every bad angel, there are two good angels.

I believe there are very bad people among us that are worse than demons and could put even them to shame. Take a look at your news channels.

you cant believe in God and angels without believing in demons also.i think the demons were sent by God to test us. its easy to show how much you love God when things are going good, it's when things go bad and the demons come along that really test you on your love for God.

I believe that there are spirits of the earth, of death and life, and all good has bad. So I believe that all the spirits--non-living humans--are both angelic and demonic, not purely one or the other.

Yes, if you believe in God, then you have to believe in demons. If there is good, then there is evil.
