yes i do. they are the devils workers and the devils job is to destroy. But the human had a choice also but decided to listen to those voices which made him/her possessed. Anything we do as humans will become numb to if we give into it enough times. Our human minds aren't strong enough to fight alone. That why god wants us to rely on him in all areas in our lives. Even you will give in to something you thought you'd never do. Read a book called a Divine revelation of hell (author Mary k. Baxter) It talks about how the devil send his workers/demons up in unseen tunnels onto earth to destroy us mentally, to make us do stuff to send us where they reside. They gotta use our minds b/c they cant touch us physically. the best scary movies is where producers get their ideas from. (demons) This is why we are not suppose to watch scary movies b/c we allow evilness in our soul and make us acceptable to think and do things crazy. read your old/ new testament it will explain a lot for you but dont read laying down , you will fall asleep. Its really deep but i will stop here.

I don't think serial killers are demon possessed in the sense that demons take up residence within their human bodies. I do believe that demons can have a hold on their minds if they dwell on and devise ways to commit murder. Those killers are the ones who eventually act upon it. They are not born that way but become murderers by choice.

Some are, some aren't. Son of Sam (David B.) said his next door neighbor's dog (Goliath) told him to kill people.
David is currently serving a life term in prison and he is now a born again Christian. He fully believes he was possessed by a demon. He also says he deserves to stay in prison for life for what he did, he still takes personal responsibility for his actions, demon or not.
I think it's a wonderful testimony to the Lord that men like the Son of Sam can find forgiveness and redemption in the Lord.

I don't think that serial killers are possessed by anything because i think they really can't handle the fact that they actually did it and they just don't want to take the blame so i figure that they pass the blame in hopes that someone will believe them although i could be absolutely wrong and the devil could have taken them over or sent a minion to control him or her but i really doubt it, and in fact i don't think a lot of people are sick or ill or have problems mentally i think most of them kill for some unknown reason but i am sure they have a reason no matter how trivial it may be. Most people would probably disagree but think about it they may think a good reason is because they are mad or something but there reasons i don't think are swayed by some supernatural force so that they will kill other people.

Dear Texas: It is quite possible, but not necessarily true. Evil lies in the heart of mankind and it can find expression due to simple hatred, frustration, mental illness, or obsession.
Regardless of which is true, the Bible is very clear on the subject that anyone who takes a life without just cause is to be punished by death.
That, honey, is the long and short of it.

Not at all.
It is called mental illness.
Back in ancient times when mental illness was not understood those people could've thought in more superstitious terms.
Since we understand that there are mental illnesses and what the symptoms are we can identify those in serial killers.

It's amazing that even in the 21st century, religious beliefs are preventing people from recognizing mental illness.
No, of course not. demons don't exist any more than ghosts, goblins, or gods.

Maybe they are crazy or just plain evil. It doesn't take a demon for that.
