Taking Satan Seriously

Contemplating the nature of evil has long been a fascinating study for me. My perceptions concerning literal demons have been altered rather significantly recently, by some jarring and otherwise unexplainable personal experiences.

Having been raised Methodist, as I believe GWB was, I can say that the vast majority of Methodists do not believe in a literal Devil, at least on an intellectual level.

Evangelicals, on the other hand, believe that evil is present in disincarnate beings, who surround us and who influence our daily actions and emotions.

I am aware of more than one case of demonic possession (or more likely, oppression) around here, and would be hard-pressed to deny that there was something more to the proceedings than met the eye.

But assigning all such evil to a particular race, nation or religion, as Gen Boykin seemed to do, is naive and shows a lack of spiritual perception.
