I don't believe in spirits, but I like to keep arguments logical. It puzzles me how the writers of the gospels and Paul came up with all these satans. I've always believed they were delusions of mad people. But Poe and Hoffman got drunk and wrote some weird stuff too that is generally considered to be fiction. I've known people on acid and speed who had bad dreams similar to Revelations or Jesus's conflicts with satan. I'm not trying to refute anything. It really doesn't matter to me what other people believe. I am interested in their thought processes. I've studied abnormal psych and visited classification clinics in old mental hospitals, and think that many, maybe most therapists would commit many, many biblical writers and subjects for long terms of institutionalization. I'm pretty confident that most of the prophets (including Jesus but especially Ezekiel) would be adjudged insane by any civilized lunacy commission.
