This reminds me of the time when my grandmother (the founder of her own Pentecostal church) saw my brother playing Mortal Kombat: Armageddon as Sub-Zero against a CPU Goro. She said to him, "You know, there are demons in those games." My brother snidely responded, "Yeah, I know. I'm kicking their butts."

the real demons were the childhood trauma we made along the way 😊

I was subjected to an exorcism at age 5... ended up with PTSD. Who could have guessed that psychologically terrorizing a child would have adverse effects 🙄🙄🙄

RU-vidrs are always afraid of demons, because they don't want to be Demon-itized XD

It is ridiculous at this point that the devils are the root of all human problems, when humans have created the madness themselves..

Can’t forget when I told my mother I was an atheist and she smugly said “well if there’s no god, how do demons exist?” and crossed her arms

The story of Bathsheba and David is funny because historically people would bathe at that time, so David going up to his tower to look into people’s gardens is super sketch. It wasn’t the devil - David was just a pervert

my parents thought I was demon possessed for awhile. it was undiagnosed PTSD that they gave me.

I’ll say this: as a victim of exorcism, the exorcism itself was way worse for me than “the demon of transsexuality”

Demons: a convenient scapegoat for all the emotional issues religion and religious people won't let you resolve and/or inflicted on you in the first place. Edit: Congratulations on 3 weeks sober, Trevor. I'm proud of you. It gets easier over time.

At church once I talked about my clinical depression, which is well handled by my SNRI, and someone looked me in the eyes, and said,”have you ever considered maybe it’s just demons.”

It continuously blows my mind that people take this stuff so seriously. Like they really think they're under constant threat of demonic activity. How does anyone live like that? It's madness.

Growing up raised by a Jehovah's Witness, I was told by my mother, by elders in the Kingdom Hall, by other members that ANYTHING labeled "demonistic" by the Watchtower Society would literally call demons into your house to kill your pets and torture your family. I grew up absolutely steeped in fear, being told that something as innocuous as owning a Little Mermaid poster would cause my toys to come alive and torment me before killing my parents (among other things.) Ouija boards, roleplaying games, Tarot cards... You name it, demons could be "called in" by it. And it took YEARS to get over the sheer terror of even seeing a Ouija board. The backlash to this upbringing is evident in that I'm a pagan who collects packs of Tarot cards and has a standing date with my best friend of 18 years to watch horror movies every Sunday. (I do, however, have generalized anxiety disorder and it especially fixates on the possibility of supernatural dangers because anxiety is irrational and boy did I learn to fear demons at a young age!)

Bro. 3 weeks sober. Amazing job man. I'm approaching 4 years without alcohol and I know it's tough but it genuinely does get easier. Stay strong and reach out to anyone and everyone you can anytime you feel like a drink. Use your network around you. Your friends and family or even this community. Even if you just made a video to "reach out" to all of us to just make your feelings known and give yourself the opportunity to be accountable publicly. Whatever it looks like for you. Just talk to someone else. And don't let yourself talk you out of talking to someone else. Proud of you brother.

Some kids drew a pentagram on the sidewalk on our street and now my mom is scared that someone is calling down evil upon our home. She’s 50 and a schoolteacher. Also, congratulations on the three weeks milestone!

When I was 16 years old, I entered a poetry competition. I worked so hard tried my best. I got 4th place and the top 3 went to on in the competition. I was so sad and beat myself up for it. I was dropped off at a church event right afterwards. The church clapped and gave me congratulations. They wanted me to perform poetry and I said no and they kept pushing. I didn't budge and didn't perform. I was just too sad and mad at myself. To top it all off. The assistant pastor determined the reason I was so sad was because there was a demon controlling me. All because I didn't want to perform. They call things they don't like demons. Simple as that. If a godly man doesn't like something, then obviously, that something is demonic

Dang. I'm recently deconverted, and I've been struggling with bad depression and suicidality. It's been 5 or 6 months and I'm slowly improving, but I've had to cut myself off from family and church goers just to be able to breathe. Your content helped me to deconvert, and has helped me since, with my mindset and whatnot.

This video reminded me of a conversation I (pretty atheist) had with a (extremely Christian) friend of mine. We were trying to figure out what horror movie to watch with our friend group later, and she said she didn’t want to watch a movie with demons in it because the demons could get her through the movie. Apparently she had a bad experience with the second doctor strange movie and the multiverse stuff made her feel a demonic movie presence in the theater (she was 100% serious). I just accepted her “no demon movies” thing and moved on because I think the idea of demons coming from a marvel movie is ridiculous but I didn’t want to laugh in my friend’s face. She’s also not allowed to wear pants, needs a chaperone on dates (she can only date boys), and isn’t allowed to go to school events (dances, movie nights, etc). I feel so bad for her because she’s a really nice person (and surprisingly chill about me being bisexual) and she’s basically a cult victim. I really hope I’ll be able to help her get out of it someday.

What's especially wild to me is when people try to tell someone who fears they're being haunted by Ghosts, "Oh well Ghosts aren't real. That's actually a Demon that's afflicting you!" Like, by comparison I'd much rather have a simple Dead human in my house than a malevolent being with near godlike powers. So how is this supposed to be comforting?

I have bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and ADHD. I was constantly dealing with anxiety and depression for years before I was diagnosed but kept trying to “pray it away.” It only got worse with time. I got out of a cult, and started going to therapy. Even then it took me two years to go see a doctor last summer. Shit really started hitting the fan. If I continued to buy into the “demons” bullshit, I might not still be here today. Getting medical help for my mental health was one of the best decisions of my life.

I think it's incredibly funny that modern occultist often sound far more down to earth when talking about demons and spirits. Most of them will tell you that they're not on the physical plane, that often times what is considered a manifestation of a demon is often your mind being focused on something and therefore seeing patterns that might not actually be a pattern.

OMG, I spit with sudden laughter when you said, "Uh oh! If she doesn't like blood sacrifice..." LOL! Thanks for pointing that out. When someone asks me why I'm not a Christian anymore, one of my go-to replies is, "Because I don't believe in blood sacrifice." Often makes them uncomfortable, because they've usually forgotten that they do.

One of my bosses refused to allow her kids to go out trick or treating. She literally believed that demons were behind every tree, snapping up kids so that the demons could drag them to hell. She was not worried about pedophiles grabbing children. She was concerned about demons. I didn't tell her that I was a Pagan and that I celebrated Halloween as Samhain. I needed my job. Plus, it wasn't her business.

The mythology of Christianity is so fascinating. I grew up a fundamentalist and deconstructed my faith about two years ago and it's been so fun to analyze Bible stories from a literary perspective.

Ok if someone describes a tv show as “the most satanic ever” I’m gonna want to watch it

I could’ve sworn McDowell was going to say “demons can’t read” and then go into a speech about demonic literacy rates.

I'm physically disabled, and when you believe that your pain is your fault, because if you were a good person you'd be healed. It always hurt, just a little, even though I didn't belive in it. I can't imagine what it's like when you've been raised to veiw pain, disability, negative experiences and emotions as punishment from God.

I experienced pokemon craze in the 90s. There were people seriously concerned with those then, believing the children’s videogame will corrupt the future generations and such. It’s so silly that I can’t take anything concerning demons seriously since then.

My kid used to hiss at me when they were angry about something. Something typical and kid like. But, my first split half a second thought is that my beautiful child is possessed by deamons. I feel horrified at myself. How could I think that of my little baby kid?!?! Imagine if I had have still been trapped in that mind frame and the damage and trauma that I could have inflicted on my child 💔

As someone whose anxiety is triggered by creepy or demonic stuff, this is the ultimate comfort medicine.

It always slays me to see grownups talking in great detail about a fantasy world that doesn't exist. People talk about Middle Earth and Lord of the Rings kind of like that, too, but they know that it is not real.

A video essay on the Christian Culture in some AA groups would be great. I was shocked this was actually treated as medical treatment. Congratulations on 3 weeks!

Imagine if this energy was used to protect kids from real danger. Like maybe the trauma they cause in their own homes and churches?

Grew up during the "satanic panic" about D&D, thankfully my parents didn't put much stock in the idea that a game would destroy their kids. Rather than sheltering us we would just discuss how we should approach things. Been deconverted a year or two now and thankful this particular trauma is not one I had to deal with. Congratulations on 3 weeks sober, Trevor. I'm proud of you. I hope you have an excellent support network.

I remember googling the "symptoms" of demonic possession as a kid because I was worried I was possessed. This was after I left the church, and knew that demonic possession was all bullshit. Church and anxiety disorders do not go well together.

I remember someone once telling me that diabetes was the act of a demon and I was so shocked that I laughed hysterically. In that framing, the fact that bacteria being used to create human proteins can thwart a demon's attempt to kill people is incredibly funny. Bacterial goo is stronger than a supernatural being.

That Tarot story got me dude. The lack of understanding he has over Tarot other than his attempt to deem it evil. And the fact that if he actually experienced what he described he would actually be traumatized and no one would be giggling. Anyways, good work man, loved this video. The fear of demons was something that ruled my life for a very, very long time.

1. Congrats on 3 weeks! 2. Growing up evangelical I used to have an absolutely paralyzing fear of the demonic. (As I suspect a looot of evangelical kids probably did) As an adult, even after I left the church I still had some of that fear lingering in there from 20+ years of indoctrination, but what really helped, weirdly, was doing deep dives into the actual study of demonology, and learning about how the concept of "demons" has shifted so much over the centuries. From minor annoyances in the ancient world to... whatever garbage all these modern day a-holes are spouting (its hard to keep track). It's really defanged the whole concept for me and changed it to a more academic fascination.

Chewbacca being in the prequels makes sense to me because he was on his *home planet* and was probably helping his people fight back the droids, like any reasonably sane person would do in that situation.

Back when I was still Christian, being the smooth brain lizard brain autistic child/teen I was, I was never put off by all those things my fellow Christians were fear mongering against. Because In my simple scatterbrained mind, simply being a baptised born again Christian protected my soul/spirit from whatever would come against me. Because as Pastor said, "We believers are stepping on the Devil."

This topic is so frustrating for me... I'm a pagan, Irish pagan to be specific and Samhain/ Halloween is an incredibly important holiday. I got married on Halloween, and my husband's family refused to attend because of it, and every year try to tell me about how "evil" it is

These religious people CANNOT leave everyone else alone, but if you call them out by telling them "leave us the hell alone" they will always cry persecution. If they aren't allowed to control you and tell you how to live and what media you should consume, then in their minds, they are persecuted because at the end of the day, they are ENTITLED to getting their way.

He said a demon cannot know your mind then turned around and said Demons put it in her mind to take a bath on the balcony. So which is it?

Out of all the topics you've covered on this channel, I think this one was the one that messed with me the *most* when growing up. I was always absolutely mortified of demons, especially possession, because I was terrified of something getting inside my mind. Being a kid and going off of what was literally said to me frequently, I was so frozen in fear of accidentally inviting a demon inside of me that it pretty much occupied my thoughts 24/7. It had trouble focusing in my day to day, I had tremendous difficulty sleeping, and it got to the point of having a bunch of little rituals I'd do to distract myself from the anxiety. In retrospect, obviously I had pretty bad OCD, but since everything was religious and related to demons, I was sent to see a pastor instead of a therapist. So yeah, all this stuff legitimately hurts people, and I feel so sorry for all the kids that *still* have to deal with it even in the year 2022. So much pain could be avoided if people would stop looking to the supernatural and thinking superstitiously. (Also, yes, I'm perfectly fine now. My OCD *did* go away as I got older, partly because my thinking matured and partly because I became and atheist. But I still really needed to see a therapist at the time, and parents using religion instead of psychiatry for their children makes my blood boil)

When I was little (and undiagnosed) i would sometimes see scary monster/demon-like figures in my bedroom at night. I'm bipolar and I hallucinate. I also had chronic night terrors until I was about 14. I'm actually really lucky (in this regard), my parents have always though exorcisms are nonsense, so when I would hallucinate I would just go get my mom and she would tuck me in and sing to me and sometimes say a quiet little prayer asking god to help me have a good night sleep

I just got done reading "The Exorcist" and the book is unabashedly pro-Christian/Catholic (a theme largely left out of the movie) that I couldn't help but laugh at the "demonic panic" it's been causing since the 70s. I found it quite entertaining and recommend y'all read it this spooky season. Much love!

Hey! A word of encouragement for you. Been deconverted for a few years now. But it's taken me until the pandemic and rise of fanatical republicanism to truly shake off the church. RU-vid has given me all the logical and scientific reasons why I made the right choice walking away from religion, but nothing has given me as much comfort as your channel (as well as the logic). Thank you! And congrats on your sobriety!

What really broke my whole fear of demons was the realization that a lot of the stories I had heard about people being pinned down in their sleep, unable to move or breathe, was actually just sleep paralysis. (Hence the "sleep paralysis demon" memes.) Prior to then, I'd had this fear of demons coming into our house at night for some years, particularly the front door, after having caught a segment of John Hagee on TC where he recounted demonic experiences. (And you could probably find it if you looked honestly.) One of them being some woman who thought her husband had come home from work. But instead it had been some demon walking through her front door (like literally opening it), up the stairs, and attacked her or something. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if it was a home intruder and the trauma of the event just screwed with her memory. Or one hell of a hallucination.

Congratulations on 3 weeks sober! I am hella proud of you and so grateful for this podcast, it's helped me process the ongoing trauma of coming out as atheist in a large, conservative, Catholic family. I married into a conservative evangelical family and my husband and I are trying to raise our kids without religion and it's HARD. Also, as an autistic person having been told my whole life that my autistic traits are just demon possession, or that I am "demonized" by "my hidden sin" I just am so damn tired of watching Christians blame thier shitty behavior and shitty treatment of others on dEmOnZ

This stuff can also be a form of compulsion, and the temporary sense of relief that comes from indulging a compulsion can feel really powerful, so I can 100% see how it can be confused for a genuine spiritual experience.

I hear these explanations of Satan and god and can't help but think it all sounds like "my OC has a higher power level than yours." These guys would make excellent fanfic writers.

“We’re not being bombarded with Christianity” meanwhile my coworker started collecting those little you’re going to hell pamphlets 2 days ago and he already has 4 different ones. 😂

Just got to say your channel has delivered the greatest amount of healing from a upbringing filled with religious trauma. Thank you.....congrats on 3 weeks, it works if you work it.

I like that David, the pervert, who watched Bathsheba take a bath, wasn’t tempted by the devil. Oh no. She was tempted by the devil to take a bath when he was just happening to walk on his balcony. Really?

Excellent video. I spent a massive chunk of my life terrified of demons that supposedly lurked around every corner. I’ve had depression since I was young, and it was uhhhhhhhhhhhh damaging to hear constantly that the depression was a result of demonic oppression due to my sinful nature. Great thing to tell a depressed person, that. Also congrats on three weeks sober! You’re doing great 💚

I laughed at the alcoholism joke until you said you were 3 weeks sober. Then I realized you were being serious. Hope you're doing well and still sober. That shit is no joke. Cool of you to open up about it and fight the stigma and invisibility of the disease in society

On a more serious note, as an animator, I am SO tired of the perception that cartoons are always for children. It's exhausting and makes creating animated content unnecessarily restrictive. Also - maybe the portrayal of fighting demons in media is about people confronting their problems head-on and overcoming them? Or making PEACE with them? Little Demon speaks to me personally quite a lot as an adult woman who has never known my father. What if there are themes behind these portrayals that use Christian and demonic imagery because that's a language and visual pattern that most of us in Western culture understand? IDK...

I’ve just started watching this, but it already reminds me of a girl I went to school with who posts stuff on Facebook about Hocus Pocus being a demonic portal and I’m just like “It’s a mediocre movie about witches. Besides, didn’t you let the college baseball team run a train on you once? You’ve already let Demons inside you.”

Congrats on your three weeks!! Sending you all the good vibes that things keep going well for you. Also on another note: I suffered a mental break when I was 18, all due to horrific abuse at home. Started hallucinating, talking to things, just absolutely disconnected from reality for a solid 6 months. And parents decided the only way to deal with it was to bring me to church and have people "lay hands" on me, because they thought I was possessed. Considering the break was caused by sexual trauma / physical abuse, that didn't go so well, being touched by a buncha strangers. And being told I was demon possessed didn't help the mental break. 🙃 These beliefs do real damage to people who are suffering a mental health crisis. And they need to die off.

When I was 16 I had a guy come up to me at work (in a kiosk thing at a mall) and talk to me. He noticed my stutter and told me “that’s a demon holding your tongue, if I pray over you I can cure it” then proceeded to LOUDLY YELL a prayer to excise the demon holding my tongue. It was so weird, and I still don’t trust evangelical Christian’s to this day. This kind of stuff is why young people are turning away from Christianity. He didn’t ask if was okay, he just did it.

I just like putting the two statements "God is all powerful" and "Evil exists" next to each other. Really makes you think.

My favorite part so far is the bits about the rules concerning demons being “very legalistic” lolol. Like demons are allowed* to tempt humans, but not access their thoughts. If I were the demons, I’d unionize and get a better contract 😂 *Allowed, as in explicitly permitted by god. Dude’s out here literally sending demons to people so that they will choose the “right” blood sacrifice to base their lives on.

As someone who wants to be an author someday, one of my goals is to make something that’s completely benign and fun to normal people, but makes evangelicals freak out. Spite is a good motivator

14:28 - One of the things I noticed about the angel vs demon armies in Christian theology is that the demon armies are always on the attack while the angel armies are led by US Civil War General George B. McClellan. Gen. McClellan was a union general who loved having an army but never using it.

Reading Waking the Tiger by Peter Levine really helped dispel my fear of being demon-possessed. The feeling of something crawling around inside my skin wanting to come out was my own nervous system being overwhelmed by trauma. Letting those feelings come to the surface in a safe, stable place allowed me to get to know them and really begin my mental health work. No exorcism required. Also, congrats on being three weeks sober!

Speaking of Disney animated shows about witches and demons, I highly recommend The Owl House. It's gotten a fair few sensationalized headlines from Christians too, especially for its "terrifying" LGBT representation (which the Disney CEOs aren't a fan of either). Anyway there's a lot of great stuff in that show, but why it felt relevant to this video is that the setting and designs draw very heavily from the works of Hieronymus Bosch and other depictions of demons and Hell, and even though they're not allowed to use real-world religious imagery there is a *LOT* of commentary about the church and the trauma people have suffered at the hands of Christian leaders. I don't want to get into spoilers here, but it goes to some surprising places considering it's a show for kids. Witch hunting may be involved.

A guy on my course, who is genuinely really nice and funny, was convinced that I was possessed by a demon, because I had… deflowered… a girl who I wasn’t married to. He said it so calmly I thought he was joking, but he was deadly serious. I asked him why he wasn’t worried if he was sitting a metre away from a hellish demon, and he said “I’m not too worried, most people have them…”

I love how the Idea that God has control over the Demons completely throws off the entire story of how the Demons came to be… By rebelling against God and his will…. Something that they did and was super bad so we need to fear them… but also they can’t do and God controls them so it’s fine….

When I was around 12 years old I bought myself Otep's Sevas Tra album with my allowance. My older sister would listen to my cds when I wasn't home because she had been convinced by our church that demons can possess you through lyrics. Anyway, she was frightened of course by the album and told me later on that women can't scream loud or deeply like the singer does unless she was possessed by demons. That only demons can make women scream loudly. Lmfao. I never believed in any of her fear mongering, and I kept listening to everything I wanted. But it still cracks me up how ridiculous the ideas that were shoved down the youth group's throats.

God do I have thoughts about this topic. They run the gamut from “telling your anxiety ridden kids that monsters aren’t real and then turning around and teaching them to fear invisible, intangible demons is abusive and traumatizing”, to “demons are just a convenient way to dehumanize people who don’t fit into your ideal of perfect”. But bottom line- as an ex-Christian gay man who appreciates the goth aesthetics and has has had anxiety and depression for most of my life, I’ve come to sympathize a lot more with the devil than with any “holy” being.

demonic forces are motivating me to write in my grimoire for the first time in weeks. ngl you're videos have been super helpful for my research

I'm really glad you covered this. I had a friend who was going through a terrible time, he struggled with substance abuse (not quite addiction, though, and he's doing far better now, thankfully) and my father said doing drugs could lead to demon possession. I can't describe the terror I felt for my friend in response to that, especially considering that at the time I was questioning the Christian belief system. Goes to show how deep-rooted toxic teachings can be.

I love these guys' thought processes that God is simultaneously all powerful and also extremely weak/lazy/evil based on what he allows to happen.

I don’t usually post on RU-vid but I just wanted to say congrats on the sobriety. I struggled a long time with addiction to alcohol but once I started going to therapy and learning to love myself outside of the religious framework of my upbringing I found I had the power to start healing. I’m hoping the same for you man ❤

My thing is what's considered "demonic" is completely inconsistent. My family loves Harry Potter, Twilight, Tim Burton, and SEVERAL Disney movies that deal with the occult (Coco and Pirates of the Carribean being the big ones), and that INCLUDES Hocus Pocus. In addition, my family okayed "It" to be my stepsister's first R-rated movie she was allowed to watch on her own. AND YET. My dad got mad at me for wanting to draw tarot cards. And told me I wasn't allowed to show my stepsister anything with demonic imagry. Is it that those movies promote demons as a good thing? NO, because most movies with demons include bits about Christianity being the one true religion, about Christianity being the only way to get rid of demons, and Christians being the only decent people. There is literally no good reason Twilight or Harry Potter should get a free pass against something like The Conjuring or The Exorcists (which are BOTH way more overtly pro-Christian), and yet here we are.

Throwback to when my bible "philosophy" class they made me take in high school tried to tell me that mental illness that didn't fit the criteria exactly was demon possession. I mean I wasn't taking it seriously before, but I was surprised they'd be that bold to put it in there.

“Reality is far more evil than a demon.” -Chuck Schuldiner

As someone who grew up evangelical and scared, I can say you did a great job on this video.Thank you👍

Another level that I've considered with all of the is all of the hypocrisy. "Look at all of the people communing with demons and the occult! They're trying to contact long dead spirits that will pump them full of evil! ...I need to go home and pray on this, pray to my god who's clearly done nothing morally ambiguous or outright evil." Also, congrats on 3 weeks sober!

If you really think about it, the Devil is probably the most relatable person you could meet. Me: “Man, I feel like my life is falling apart” The Devil: “I feel you man, I’ve been stuck in this same shithole for eons”

I tried to get "possessed" by demons, summon demons and worship them. Nothing happened. I was lied to. There are no demons.

First up, congratulations fir 3 weeks sober. That's an awesome thing to achieve. I've been sober for a while now too. A firm commitment to reality is an amazing thing and you share that with us so well. Thanks for another great essay.

congrats on 3 weeks sober! today is my fifth anniversary of no self harm. I know how hard it can be to get over that crap! keep up the good work.

My two older sisters were raised Catholic and they were made so afraid of literal demons it continues to affect them despite half their lives spent out of the church. They were terrified of the dark as children and remain skittish today. Once my oldest sister (she was around 10) got accidentally locked in a bathroom and she was immediately sobbing with fear that a demon was coming after her. They can't handle any horror movies, and especially any horror that specifically mentions demons; accidentally seeing them while flipping through channels is enough to give them nightmares. It's not as bad as other things catholicism leaves you with, but this is a fear that will live with them forever.

wanted to start off w congrats on being 3 weeks sober! CW mental illness being mistreated and religious abuse. SH and ED mention. my depression developed psychotic tendencies when i was about 14-15 when i was deep in the church. instead of my dad getting me help he just convinced me i was possessed and blamed me. i went to the church for my self harm and eating disorder and they said it was bc i didn’t love god enough and didn’t allow him to help me. about a year or two later i was in the middle of a season of a church play my church is decently well known for which is based on the columbine shooting (it’s legit worse than it sounds and i’m going to see it soon w my friend who was in the church w me who also left a little bit after me and now we are so queer and happy it’s beautiful) and i realized nothing could save me outside of myself. so i admitted myself into a mental hospital. the church immediately cut contact with me. since then i’ve been in therapy, medicated, and truly loving my life. a couple years later i was at my dads and wearing a tank top which showed scars and he began praying over me and it was the most awkward thing in the world. he tells me i’m going to hell bc i’m happy and being the person i’m truly meant to be, not the person forced on me ok sorry this is long lol. but this video meant a lot and i thought i would share 🔆

I was raised Mormon. I couldn't count the number of times I was told that trying to contact spirits would result in demons approaching me. I was told all of the time that ouija boards would actually open the door to demonic forces. Little did I know that the "evil" presence was just the goosebumps I got because I'd had a good scare. It's good for a laugh nowadays.

Little Demon is fucking sick lol. I love the whole demon aesthetic but beyond that there are so many moments where the animation is just, so.. _fuuucking, good_ like it’s just so buttery. As an artist it just fills me with joy

The quality of the content on this channel just keeps getting better. Perfect listening material.

Congrats, man 3 weeks is awesome! You got this :D I recently de-converted and your videos help me a lot with learning, reflecting on things, and just giving me something to listen to, so thank you :)

"Jesus did not ignore the Devil" Ma'am, ma'am that's literally what Jesus did in that story where Satan tried to tempt him. He ignored Satan's offers and explained outloud why he was ignoring those offers. Ma'am, I didn't even read the whole bible, just parts that had characters I was interested in, and even I can tell he was basically just being polite explaining why he was ignoring Satan's offers. If demons are real apparently being polite and explaining why they're barking up the wrong tree is the way to go.

Little Demon is a legit great show. Danny DeVito and his daughter Lucy are absolutely crushing it! I even got my very Christian best friend to enjoy watching it.

I really appreciate that you talk about your issues with alcohol some on this channel. Been dealing with related things in my own life and it makes me feel less alone

The story of the Nephilim is interesting, in that it's only through unions of a woman and demon... Like, what's a dude gotta do to have hot hot adult fun time with demon, and help to create a really cool child. Imagine the athletic prowess they could have. Super human demon sports, let's go!

These people make demons sound so cool, though. How do I meet one?

Probably my favourite thing about this channel is that you source all the videos you use, been finding a bunch of movies to watch now lol.

"God is all powerful!" *one question later* "He can't do that"

My highschool mascot was the Demon and Christian groups tried to force them to change it. It went all the way up to the state supreme court and they lost so the Demon survives still to this day!

I grew up in a fundamental household where this was the worst holiday of all mon would sayall the demons come out lol now that I am 40+ and have my own kids. We celebrate this holiday dance watch movies and have a ton of fun. My mom still thinks there’s demons running around outside, working behind trees and around every corner. Honestly, it’s really sad. I try not to talk to her or have any communication with her whatsoever. It’s sad that this religious nonsense has ruined my mother daughter relationship.

Congrats on your sobriety! Also thank you for your RU-vid channel. Your videos just feel like a safe place to be when I don’t have any others. Thanks :)
