Getting Rid of Demons

[Trailblazer]

But you treat me as having free will, but really you judge me as having free will, so you judge other people.

I believe that people have free will but that has nothing to do with judging them.

You have made posts judging people on the standard of having free will,

You have made posts judging people on the standard of having free will,

I have made posts saying people can make choices because I believe they have free will, but I am not judging them for their choices.

But what if they can't make choices in some cases? Then what?

 

[Audie]

You should meet my biological dad...

Oh?

 

[Audie]

No, they just no longer need to attack you because you are on their side now.

Eeeewwwwh.
What a thing to say.

 

[mikkel_the_dane]

Eeeewwwwh.
What a thing to say.

Where is your evidence? That is a feeling.

 

[Trailblazer]

But what if they can't make choices in some cases? Then what?

Then whatever happens is not their fault because they cannot be responsible for what they cannot choose. I relegate that to fate, which I believe is God’s Will for us.

Accepting our Fate

And again you conflate your belief and the everyday world.

 

[cataway]

No, it is not my job to judge anyone, so I don't. Only God can judge.

which god would that be ?

 

[Trailblazer]

which god would that be ?

The one true God.

 

[cataway]

I would not act on it because it is not my job to get rid of demons that possess other people.

you contradicted your self

 

[cataway]

The one true God.

who is that ? or are you saying you dont know his name

 

[Trailblazer]

Correction: I would not act on it because it is not my job to get rid of demons that people believe they are possessed by.

 

[Trailblazer]

God does not have a name. God is just God.

Only a subset of demons seems related to spiritual views.

I’m happy for you that you can un-believe so easily. Most of us can’t. Any tricks you can relate?

For me, the trick to unbelieve is taught by Buddhism - let go of desires. Think of others you know whose cognitive dissonance, biases, fears, are created from grasping and clutching at what they want to be true - let go of desires, and all the biases and dissonance and mind rationalizations that go along with desires dissappear too.

No, they just no longer need to attack you because you are on their side now.

No angels, no demons, just spirits who are mixed up with good and bad just like humans. Yin/Yang. In heaven as it currently is on Earth.

 

[Nakosis]

These demons are Sokrates doing. Have you been taught his ridiculous philosophies? At what age?

You mean Socrates?
One of my idols.
Wait, having idols is evil right?
Oh well.

At what age? Before age 70. I don't think he did much after that.

 

[Nakosis]

Dragons are good

In you're culture.
In my culture, we slayed them

 

[Nakosis]

What demons are you describing here? I think for most people, miracle deliverances are not what they appear to be in the long haul. It usually takes a long time and continual effort to break old habits of the mind.

"Jesus delivered me from all my anxiety", he said nervously bouncing his foot up and down the whole time, for instance.

The ones that encouraged me to cause harm.
Didn't say it was a quick process.
