I don't mind the commenting part it's when people state opinion as FACT that bothers me. x

I'd like to hear an explanation of how a "demonic possession" works...

I know that the demons have the ability to possess, and they often prey on the innocent and unexpected. Hell, I was a demon. I should know.

Mocking me makes you look like a 3 year old just to tell you.

I am not arguing with you people, thats what you want.

All that I AM SAYING is that it bothers me when people state THEIR OPINION on a general matter about anything as a FACT.

It is a fact that I have never been presented with any reasonable evidence that demonic possession is real.

It is a fact that demonic possession requires magic to be a feature of the universe, which is hugely unlikely given that it has never been observed in controlled conditions and it violates a great deal of scientific theory which is, in turn, backed up by a huge amount of factual evidence.

So we're left with your word and a creepy YouTube video against the accumulated academic knowledge of the human race.

I'm torn; I really am.

I hate arguing, I just used the same argument you did to let you know how silly it looked.
In fact I would love to see you be right for once. I am very interested in demons and magic, and I've given you (just like everyone here) several chances to show us you aren't just rambling on about things you don't understand. The fact of the matter is, there is no evidence that demons or magic have any place in the natural world and there is strong evidence suggesting they do not exist at all (most of which is the people claiming to have seen them give nothing but vague general outlines and no evidence, except of course for "well I was there!")
Demonic possessions can be acted out, so why don't you find a scientist or psychologist who studied a 'possessed' person, and have them verify they're condition cannot be explained scientifically, then, another scientist verifying that scientist is a real scientist.

I don't think that the internets is the best place for anyone to 'prove the existance of magic and demons' nor do I think it's possible over the internet.

I have a couple problems with this.  The first is one of clarity.  Could you define the bolded term?

More food for thought: Two common misconceptions are (a) that opinions cannot be wrong and (b) that anything I disagree with is an opinion rather than a fact.

I'd like to quote this and just throw it out there again; you know, for the benefit of anyone who may or may not have started this topic.

The latter is true if your position is true. For instance, I disagree with Holocaust deniers and I am correct, therefore, their position is opinion, rather than based on facts.
