If there is indeed such a thing as 'evil' then it is man-made, and usually it is fostered by capitalism.

What do you mean by demons and demonic possession? Also, the bible isn't meant to be taken literally, if you know what I mean.

Ok, I'm just going to throw this out here again like I did in another thread but just a little shorter... We have the technology now to torment people to no end... mind reading and manipulation, visual surveillance from space. No alien or religious influence needed. The technology exists publically, though in deceptively primitive forms. For me, its just too obvious. And it seems that anyone who is in a disadvantaged position, having rubbed people the wrong way like I did, or is mentally ill, weak, unintelligent, overly religious, gullible, weird, whatever, could be a victim. Look at websites like TMZ.com and the interest people seem to have in other people, the media frenxy the Elliot Spitzer fiasco has generated... and the TV show Face the Truth on FOX... people ENJOY and are entertained by the embarrassment of others. Now, lets not get overly negative here... but there is enough people in society who just don't give a crap about us and are "just having fun", thinking that "it doesn't matter" because "we don't know this person", "we'll never have to worry about retribution", etc.

I read your post in the other thread, too, randomthoughts, and I am still a little uncertain as to who it is who is torturing, manipulating and watching us from space. Can you explain that to me? A religious person might be forgiven for thinking you were talking about some sort of deity.

Hi Galaxy... government for certain, but I also believe there are civilian organizations that have access to this technology as well. It could be satellite based, or land based from a lengthy distance. It's real people. For me its just too obvious... comments I hear when things are coming through particularly clear like... "Do you think I'll ever have anything to worry about from these people?" "Nah I don't think so... your married so you should be fine." "Haha, this guy reminds me of a kid we've been watching in Egypt." "Oh my God this is so awesome! You can do this!? Holy **! And nobody cares?" "Nah, the kid screwed up his relationships, we've got a lot of insurance here and the voices in his head won't shut up so we should be fine. He's ***** dude. Just like all these other freaks. Love it."

There are different forms of control. Feeding ignorance is a form of torture.

The problem with religious people believing they are possessed is that they believe only god can help them, but he obviously hasn't since they're coming here. If you want to believe in all of that, go to a church and get help there.

Is it not the case that genuine schizophrenics do not tend to think along the lines of being possessed, as that would be too inward-looking, but more along the lines of being oppressed - by society, the government etc? It makes me wonder whether these religious zealots who claim to have been possessed by evil are little more than attention-seeking hysterics. But I am prepared to be corrected.

I am not a religious zealot and I seem to be posessed by evil. I do not seek attention.

When I was 16 I played around with a ouija board and one of the ghosts I was talking to suddenly began to talk to me in my head. He would sometimes control my body and I would move around and act irrationally. I would follow what he told me to do.

Eventually he told me he was an 'angel' and then 4 more voices came to me, each of them angels, giving me names, azrael, raphael, gabriel, michael and lucifer.

They all had a unique personality and all had a personal appearance they described. I started to occasionaly see them. I would laugh and react to what they said and my parents locked me up.

After 3 weeks in the mental ward I was let out because I feigned a recovery to pursue "obeying" the voices. But the first week there, I was publicly undressing myself as the angels asked me to, saying, " this will prove your faith." they gave me tests, and I would do what they said. At one point I tried to break out and run onto the rooftop and throw myself down and they said I would fly away to heaven.

I was caught on the stairwell and they secluded me in a room called the "quiet room", which had a tiny window with a camera watching me to make sure I don't hurt myself. They sedated me with a shot. The doctors tried numerous meds and none worked.

I felt physical sensations like wings being ripped out of my back and sprouting, and I grew convinced I was pregnant and carrying the antichrist as a strange lump in my thumb, and it was getting weirder and weirder.

I also started to believe I would not stop gaining weight if I drank water so I stopped drinking or eating and lost nearly 30 pounds, and of course this led to a consecutive hospitalization in which I was ready to die because I would believe some horrible piece of nonsense for a few months, then i'd learn it was false and i'd feel horrid.

By age 17 I had stopped taking any meds because the side effects were making me sicker. I do not reccomend this, it rarely leads to good. I was crazy for a while still but then by the summer of '05 when I turned 18 it all went away.

I think that demonic possesion is not possible. My case sounded a lot like some kind of bizarre godly intervention at times and at points people believed I might have been possessed, but repeated visits with a priest and blessings of the house did nothing. In the end, it went away on its own but though the schizophrenia is in remission and it might have been a one time episode, I am still at risk.

Now here's a word of advice. You are not possessed, it is humiliating to endure all the nonsenese the church puts you through if they think you are. In the long run, the illness takes on a bizarre form that mocks you and tries to make you not treat it.

Do not let other people that are sick convince you otherwise, you need meds and help and I hope yours fades with time so you can go on to lead a normal life as I have done.

I 100% agree with you. i had a psychotic episode and after i had the right medication the symptoms went away.
