Demons were the WMDs of Biblical times. Everyone knew they were there.

"I stated that you believed that a person called Jesus lived who was also "God" and who believed that mental afflictions, blindness, and other such infirmities were caused by demons and could be cured by casting out the demons." Jesus did not teach that all sickness was the result of demonic influence so you are attacking a straw man. Show me where Jesus taught that blindness was demonic. You can't because He did not teach that. Thus the Demon theory of sickness is not one that I must ascribe to. To accuse a Theist of believing that other beings exist outside of the material universe, (whether they be Angels or Demons or God Himself), and that those entities could effect this world is hardly breaking news! OTOH, as a fundamentalist Atheist/Materialist, you can't even explain the immaterial laws of logic that you so easily abuse. Neither can you explain why someone of the stature of Antony Flew would disagree with you so strongly! That is the point you are so desperate to avoid and why you must change the subject at any cost, but nice try!
