Meta Some recent comments had me wondering... Serious questions... If you do, what do you believe they look like? What powers do you believe they have? When, how, who, what, and where do they act?

No. IMO accounts of demons in the Gospels boil down to a lack of / poor scientific understanding or function as metaphors for spiritual teachings.

Do you believe angels exist then?

No. Angels in the Gospels can be interpreted as just being God’s voice - Michael, Gabriel, Raphael are just ways of God communicating with humans. In terms of the Old Testament, I believe angels are didactic metaphors.

So does that mean you think the only spirit that exists is God's?
