All this evil is caused by humans, and can be put right by humans.
Putting the blame on "demons" or the like is an attempt to shirk responsibility for our collective actions and inactions, and a subconcious attempt to push the responsibility for action onto some distant, powerful figure who you only support in the most indirect, personally uncostly ways.
You can't pray or sunday school your way out of this, any more then the commies, marxists, and jews prayed these things into being. They all worked their parts to rot society, and we must work to put it right.
So, no, it's not fucking magic monsters or sky gods or whatever. It's always, has always been, and will always be people at the heart of both the problem and the solution.
There are things that are indistinguishable from demons occupying most positions of power in nearly every Western institution.
You want to quibble about semantics? As far as I'm concerned, whether they're literally demon-possessed or not, you can't look at some of these people without acknowledging that "yeah, I think the Bible talked about this."
That's a bullshit equivalence, and you know it. The bible is a book of human experience in history, dressed up with magic to try to claim legitimacy. No shit it talks about the human propensity for evil, while dressing it in the costumes of it's story.
You know what ELSE does that? Literally every other similar book. Every other religious text, every other epic, every other historical foiable, every other nursery rhyme and children's story talks about humans who commit horrible atrocities, and dresses them up as whatever. Demons, djinns, yokai, spirits, haunts, damned souls, nether spirits, vampires, werewolves, sirens, lamia, whatever, they're all the same metaphor for the same thing in different costumes.
"Demons" are no more real then any of the rest of the list, and you have to grow out of magical thinking if you want to remove the actual, real people at the heart of the issue.
You call it quibbling semantics, but this language shows the true, revealed oreferences of everyone involved, and everyone screaming "demons are here, get the jesus" isn't willing to take responsibility for the evils of humanity we have allowed to fester, and instead wants a magical savior to come and deal with the problem for them.
And what exactly do you think the "demon" is a metaphor of? The intrusive thoughts whispering in the ears of the weak willed?
Glad you bring up children's fables though, as there absolutely is a culture of ugly, evil, hook-nosed witches that live on the fringes of society seeking to harm children. As we've seen.
Nah. Demons aren't real, bud.
You don’t have to believe in the devil to do his work, in fact he prefers it that way.
Imaginary voices in the dark are a sign of psychosis, not magic.
I don’t know, the voices are all telling me that you’re a faggot so they seem to be pretty spot-on so far.
Take your meds, sir.
Look at the degeneracy and evil of the modern world and tell me demons aren't real again.

You might not believe in Satan and Demons, but they definitely believe in you.
Man, it amuses me that you guys don't even see how much you sound like bots. All you ever have are canned lines.
Well, either that, or a large number of you guys are just bots, either digital or flesh-based.

This is, itself, a massive part of the problem.
