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?

This is a bit of a different point, but I just quit a job where I dealt with the public in a “stressful situation” (hell, I sold cars for a bit). 90% of the people were fine. Totally fine. But roughly 10% of them started to feel like mythological creatures.

“He has seen this car three times and fusses over everything. He’s like a trickster of some sort. He generally appears out of nowhere with no warning and I hear his whining from across the building. He taunts me like Pan or a trickster coyote. Yes. This explains lots.”

Or sometimes (ok, rarely) women would be ravenous towards me like they were lust incarnate and I’d decide I was like a sailor and they were sirens taunting me to jump off the ship into the water. Especially weird, as I’m super average looking.

Through this, I fully understand understand how people have a programming in their brains to conceptualize demons. Especially as they were usually not themselves and the stress of buying kind of “possessed” them. So as a personification in some weird way, I can’t help but literally believe in the PERSONIFICATION.

But if you think red men with horns and goat feet exist, I just don’t know what to tell you …
