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.

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