Is This Unimportant - Blog Posts

I'll add one more thing-

If you are not Christian/Specifically believe in Christianity or associated Abrahamic religions (like Judaism or Islam), Then you do not believe in genuine "Demons".

Demons (also called iblis) are an Abrahamic concept. Sure not every instance of "inherently evil creature/spirit/being that is in service of a greater evil, usually in the form of a bigger/stronger inherently evil creature/spirit/being" is tied to Abrahamic beliefs but Demons specifically are inherently part of their religious practices.

Demons, down to the first usage of the word, are tied to their description as servants and spawn of The devil, again, another inherently Christian concept.

You are free to believe what you want to believe but I'm tired of white American witches talking about demons and angels and demonic possession then scream at me when I point those are Christian concepts. Hell, due to my own beliefs as a native American, I don't even believe in inherently evil spiritual beings.

That's all I have to say, if you aren't Christian then you don't believe in demons aka spawns of the devil aka the adversary of God. Literally believing in them means you have to believe in the existence of God and if y'all say you don't, you gotta let demon leave you vocabulary.

If you mean evil spirit or even just evil creature... Just say evil creature???
