Are there really demons, and devils, and nasty beings that try to make you do bad things ? I've never seen or heard of any such things except in the movies. The invisable world of intelligent life that is superimposed over the physical world sounds fascinating. The astral world is the domain of departed souls that can't seem to figure out they are dead. I hope it's all true, but I doubt it.

Just as God has His army of angels, Satan has his army of demons. Both teams are quite real.

Originally posted by buckkyJust like everything else that people are free to believe or disbelieve, it is a question of faith.
How do you know they are real ?
If you believe before you have the proof, then your faith is real and substantive.
If you wait to believe until you see it with your own eyes, then you have no faith. You only have proof, which earns you nothing.
Satisfying your intellect is nothing compared to satisfying your soul.

I thought I covered the difference in my previous post.
You can read, can't you?
Your problem is that you cannot conceive of a reason why Faith is more important than Proof.
