Why are people so quick to call others who believe in demons *crazy*?

Question

I am in 10th grade. I currently uphold a B+ Average. I just won the school science fair. I am a JW. I beilive in demons. I have seen them move things around in my grandmothers home, (she is a spirit medium) and I have seen them take on a ghostly form around her house. I know what they are, And I have seen them. So why are people so skeptical about a topic such as this? Maybe if people viewed demons not as mythical spirit creatures but as a Highly intelligent spirit race, They would not treat me like I'm crazy when I talk about what i saw....So why are people like this?

Answer 1

Why does ALL supernatural phenomena like spirits, demons and what-not, disappear as soon as you try to measure it scientifically? In 3000 years of science there has never been one good piece of evidence to suggest that any such phenomena exists and there is nearly always another explanation or a hoax involved. And before anyone tries to tell me that demons are 'beyond science' if, as the questioner has suggested, they can move things and/ or appear to the visible spectrum of the human eye, then science can observe and measure such activities. But like I said, as soon as this is attempted in a controlled environment that does not allow hoax's and tricks to be performed, all such phenomena disappears. Also, why do only actively religious people see ghosts, spirits and demons? The answer is: they don't. They see the same things that other people do, the difference is interpretation. You see a ghost, I see a trick of the light/ dark. You hear ghostly footsteps, I hear the expanding and contracting of the house or building I'm in. You feel the presence of a spirit, I feel I'm getting the 'hebegeebies'.

I don't think you're 'crazy', but I do think you probably have a tendency to jump to supernatural conclusions instead of thinking of what a logical (and probably very simple) explanation could be.

Answer 2

I know I'm going out on a limb and may get some strange looks but I really do believe in demons... I have demonic blood

I think most humans have a shortened view of this world they only see what they want to see and if something messes with what they believe in they deny it and mock others for believing it

I've almost died from going without things humans can go their lives without
I don't get the energy I need to live from eating or sleeping
I only get it from other peoples energies
I have wolf senses
bad vision, if I smell something I can A. taste it and B. track it down
If I taste it I can smell it
I feel in sound
I can track anyone down by sound
if it belongs to someone I came across I can track themdown
I have well defined fangs, nails and pointed ears
I'm saying all this to prove that I'm not crazy

it's all ignorance and being brought up in a world that says humans and animals are the only intelligent lifeforms here
that sounds interesting about your grandmothers home.. so I take it the demons are spiritual and not so much like me and most of my posse... humanoid
just keep in mind... Not ALL demons want to hurt or kill you some are friendly some are nutrual they come in 3 types evil, good and nutrual and the evil are very rare if you're human you dont' have much to worry about just don't pay attention to what christians say they have the smallest world view of all

Answer 3

Well, we know that the Devil is a deceiver. He doesn't want people to know the truth. Demon activity is often disguised as something harmless or even good, which makes it hard to recognize. 2 Corinthians 11:14 reminds us “Satan himself keeps transforming himself into an angel of light.” The demons can also blind people’s minds and they are “misleading the entire inhabited earth” (2 Corinthians 4:4; Revelation 12:9) . What better way to get people to follow them than to convince people that either they are not real, or there is no harm in dabbling in the occult. They have much more success by luring people in than they do by terrorizing them.

Answer 4

Some people have a hard time believing things that they don't understand or that are labeled in a way that they don't label them themselves. And since you call them 'demons' and someone else may call them something else, those people can call you crazy. I don't think it's crazy to believe in a negative energy, no matter what you call it. I have seen weird stuff as well.

But, don't stress them.

Answer 5

the human race wishes to shun demons so they can open the gates to paradise more. (Paradise being Heaven) When one dies, the spider's thread is revealed. All humans try to grasp it to pull themselves to Heaven. But there is one soul I know that wont climb her way to Heaven, she'll pull the rest of them down with her. My opinion is that demons will sometimes make your life a bit easier, though you pay your soul in the end, make it all worth it.

Answer 6

People are always afraid of things they don't understand. Your six sense is much more stronger than ordinary people, therefore they can't even imagin the kind of creatures you see and are afraid to even acknowledge they really exist, and so therefore, they would rather consider you crazy rather of beliving such things could exist, even if they know you don't lie. Don't worry about it, don't tell anyone about it, they they want to stay blind. I believe you!

Answer 7

I have seen them especially when I was involved in satanism, and in the same way you have too. If people believe in demons, they also have to believe in God, and some people are not up to that yet. You may have some generational curses on your life because of your grandma. Demons will attach themselves to people down through the generational lines. You will need Jesus to set you free from them.

Answer 8

Because it scares them severely. Not all people have the ability (the dook) to see demons.

Answer 9

There are many beings on planes other than this -- who can cross between the worlds as they like. Many people are the "show me" type (or else their religion won't allow them to learn about it); but other beings do exist.

Answer 10

They have closed minds.
