><>...Good evening my good brother John...><> Good to see you out and about with your armour on and in place.! A mighty servant of God our Father indeed!! Ps 109:28-31 28 Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice. 29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle. 30 I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude. 31 For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul. May God continue to bless and keep you. Sincerely, Shalom...><>

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.
