I've never seen a demon, I don't know anyone who has seen a demon, nor have I ever seen any evidence of a demon of any kind. No body can produce one on demand, or give explicit instructions for arranging their appearance.

Funny that you should only take one element of my actual response: <I've never seen a demon> and focus on that. I've not seen a blue whale, but there are means of seeing them.

This wording all has to stay together to accurately portray my position.

No, I don't believe in things I don't see, nor ones that no one else can reliably see, or for which no physical evidence exists. Why would I invent something to be afraid of? Would I be willing to discuss the possible characteristics of such a thing? Sure.
Perhaps this war in Iraq is a demon. I'd be comfortable saying that there are things that behave as if they were demons, but if I dress like Ronald MacDonald, that doesn't necessarily MAKE ME Ronald MacDonald.

BTW, why are demons always portrayed with nipples and navels? This implies they nurse their young and had an umbilical cord. Have you seen demons and if so, would you be willing to share details of the circumstances? As for me, I have NO reason to believe they exist other than sketchy reports from people that seem to have accepted certain dogma, or have seen things they can't explain. Big difference between that and "demon" definition.
