they are so hateful and don't care about anything or anyone? I'm asking because my brother acts as if he hates me and my kids. I won't call him athiests because he knows that God and Satan both exist but he denies the power of either one.

Yes I believe that he is being tormented by demons because he doesn't like you nor your family and he has an I don't care attitude, but unless maybe you or your family have done something or maybe he has heard something about your family but that is not even a normal behaviour towards your own family. Denying the power of God is a dangerous thing because in the end you don't have faith in God and God after trying so hard to bring you to His side you're rebelling then He decides that He has had enough of trying to win you over, the demons then have taken over and before you know it you're listening to the demons. So, is he possessed? I definitely think so.

Wow, this is a great question. I believe that there are both angels and demons on this earth. I believe that the devils workers are constantly trying to take a strong hold over our lives and that a person is more easily controlled by demons if the power of God is not allowed within them to fight those demons. The devil will fight to keep a person from the goodness of God and also keep a person filled with hate and subborn-ness when God's light and joy is not allowed, by the person, into their heart. All I know to tell you is to pray from him and show him love even when those feelings arent exchanged. **Remember, that you can not change a person, they are the only ones who can do that for themselves, but you can lead by example and be a loving and forgiving person and hopefully that will spill over into him... I'm sorry that you have had to endure these feelings this time of year.
God Bless

Acts as if he hates you? Are you sure he hates you? Have you asked him and got a definite answer? It may be that he finds you a goody goody fanatic. Have a heart to heart with him without the demons and angels.
Humans don't need demons to feel angry. Your brother may have problems unrelated to religion. Try an open approach. Ask him to talk and for God's sake man, LISTEN and leave demons out of it!

Literal demons, no. His own internal "demons," maybe.
It sounds more like a personality problem. Continue to try to approach him with love and kindness, but keep your kids away from him for now. If there has been a recent problem in his life, just be patient with him.

I don't know about demons. Certainly something is tormenting your brother. Giving attention to offensive behavior can be counter-productive and can make it increase in strength. The degree of effect is proportional to the attention that it receives.

NO...it doesnt mean that they are being controlled by demons. If your brother is acting that way then blame the hormones or try talking to him gently but dont push it because if they are going through a rough time then they will try and solve it themself first before asking for help. if you cant get a reasonable reasoning then go ahead..blame the devil..

YEah of course... he has a hateful spirit about him. worldly things can cause this.. when u give into the flesh(im not meaning sexually) too much. you know.. giving in to yourself.. letting yourself be your own boss too much, then spirits can attack them and sometimes get worse... even though there are certain churches than can rebuke these spirits.. counseling with a GOOD counseler can help as well... sometimes, normal everyday hard working nice ppl can bring out the best in some folks.

I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that Satan or demons are present in them...... Some people are just very bitter and hold back their reasons.

Certainly not. .sounds like something is bothering him, that is why he is acting so negative towards people. Find out what it is, try to discuss it and help if you can. Just give him some space and time to think and things may become better.

Maybe you're trying to ram too much religion down his throat. Lighten up, don't be an extremist and you'll both see a difference.
