Demons, witches, evil spirits.......Christians believe in the occult more than the people who dabble in it! Shouldn't superstitions and simple explanations to the vast complexities of life be dying right about now in human history?

I guess personal accountability to the Creator is not high on your list. Of course the logical outcome of that way of thinking is either total anarchy (accountability to no one but yourself) or totalitarian government (every choice you make governed by someone else human).
Think it through.
A world without God is a world without hope.
"We won't murder because murder is against the law" has never worked, the law has never prevented evil.
A better way exists. The way that says "Love God, and love your neighbor as you love yourself." Suddenly murderers stop murdering and hospitals and institutions of education arise out of "no where."
Jesus changed the world, and * YOUR * life is better because of it. Give credit where it is due.
To this day the followers of Jesus turn out by the hundreds of thousands to provide relief to the destitute and victims of tragic disasters. Voluntarily. At their own expense. And numerous others contribute millions, yes even billions, to the cause of helping their neighbors...even their Islamic neighbors who would gladly murder them after receiving their help... Because one God said "Love your neighbor as you love yourself."
Atheism has one of two outcomes...anarchy or totalitarianism.
You choose. Atheist or Christ? Which way is *really* better provable by overwhelming evidence?

We have been saying the same thing for two thousand and six years. No, seriously, we must be careful not to be disrespectful about the beliefs of others. Freud would agree that we all have deeply rooted superstitions and primal fears, in religion this is just ritually acted out. This happens in all religion.

Christians are spiritually born of God. They are gifted in the spiritual. Along with other spiritual gifts is discerning of spirits. With denying the spiritual is spiritual blindness.
Christians don't believe demons can read their thoughts. Demons can only plant lies. God knows our thoughts. He is all knowing.

Nope. Evil spirits are very real. Have you ever been to a mental institution? Those people are tortured by demons. It's like the exorcist in there.

No - but asking obnoxious questions about Christians is childish - and yes - this is coming from a Jewish Guy.

One would hope so... but rationality and critical thought are necessary, to dispel those delusions. It seems that about 80% of our population (USA) lacks those faculties.

Yes they should. We have freedom of religion and freedom of speech. It's up to rational people to conversationally confront irrational people.

Sounds like paranoid schizophrenia to me!! Of course most so called christians do have multiple personalities anyway - their church personalities and their out of church personalities. Total hypocracy.
