Change My Mind: There Is No Evidence For The Existence Of Demons by SSIPON(m): 7:06am On Oct 21, 2021
Over the years, one thing I have noticed with Nigerians is that they love blaming bad things on demons. Even top government officials blame "evil forces" for the happenings in the country. Which is funny, because there is literally NO evidence for the existence of demons. The belief in demons dates back to the times when man thought that diseases had supernatural causes.

There are so many things that fall under the brand name, "demonic". A neighbor of mine has a son who is clearly mentally challenged (He is schizophrenic), yet every Sunday, his family organises special prayer sessions to deliver him from the demons that are attacking him whenever He is asleep. Schizophrenia is not the only thing that Nigerians think is demonic.

Nigerians have taken the superstitions to a whole new level, by claiming that these demons could enter your body through pornography or watching certain mainstream shows. If you ask them for evidence, they are empty. Every Christmas season some of them refuse to travel to their villages because of their irrational fear of witches/demons. Which again, there is no evidence for. Some of them are so superstitious that they refuse to tell their neighbours and even their family members that they are travelling, because they don't want their "village people" to cause accident.

That's why they fear idols and shrines and when a pastor comes and burn the shrine, they see the pastor as a "powerful" man of God. Meanwhile the shrine was never potent in the first place .undecided

There is no evidence that suggests the existence of demons, change my mind.

Since when did saying that there is no evidence for the existence of demons, become a political issue. I'm 36 and I have seen enough to know that there is no evidence for demons.

You are making a claim here without proof. Prove that demons exist and change my mind. Talk has always been cheap.

Exorcism? How does that work? How is it any different from "deliverance". I am not asking about exorcism. I am asking about the demons that leads to a need for "exorcism". What is the proof of their existence?

Tomahawk99, the concept of exorcism is like walking into a room, claiming that there is a cat inside that room, then claiming that a special ritual is needed to get the cat out of the room.


Note that, You have not proven the existence of any cat in the room, but you are only asserting that a cat is in there and can be removed. Exorcism is not evidence for the existence of demons.

Going by your logic we can conclude there is no evidence of heaven or hell. It's just what you were told by your parents and religious leaders.

They were not made popular by Hollywood, they were very common in the 18th century and widely used and there was no Hollywood then.
You say there are no demons then there is no devil which means there is no heaven or hell.

It is not only voodoo worshipers who believe such medieval nonsense; all Christians who believe in the Holy Bible must also believe in demons, devils, and other
such creatures, and they must believe that those entities cause disease and that they can be "cast out
by proper ceremonies, simply because it's in the Book. If they deny the reality of those creatures, they
deny the Bible, and thus their faith. It is not a matter of choice, but dogma.

Just like there is no evidence for demons, there is no evidence for heaven or hell.

Oga the Vatican is not there to proof the existence of demons, they are there to "exorcise" what they have already asserted is true (without any proof). So ya, bringing up the Vatican is not helping your case here lmao
