Demon Erasers

And that's why we have so much disagreement.

That's why you and I are sitting here having this debate is because the whole mechanism through which a relationship with God is conveyed to people is highly, highly, highly ineffective.

If it wasn't ineffective, we would not have atheists.

We would not have a disagreement amongst religions and all of that.

Well, to me, though, it's a lack of intelligence that comes from being unobjective.

And being objective is dealing with facts without distortion created by emotions.

And so I think that people, because they've been raised with religion, it's tied to their identity, they have some kind of crazy experience, they end up in prison, they want to know that, oh, this is part of God's plan, on and on and on.

There's all these emotional reasons that cause them to pull a bag over their eyes and tell themselves they believe.

I agree with you.

And that's what I did for the longest time.

And when I finally pulled that bag off of my eyes and was intellectually honest, that's when I experienced peace.

But once again, though, why would a loving God allow demons to exist and fool me?

Oh, that's simple.

I'm just telling you.

It's simple to you because you have this entire construct.

And I'm trying to tell you that when you're objective and you reject that construct, it's not really simple.

And it really comes down to human folly.

So then because of free will, people suffer.

And that goes back to now you're negating that God is all love.

I think that a lot are ultimately influenced by that.
