No-one is demonic, although what you are trying to do here is lightly filter out the existence of demons in the world. Are you saying Jesus was delusional for seeing the demons exist and do affect people? Interestingly two things in Christianity are taboo subjects to talk about.
Demons (non-existence of them, associated with fear of powerlessness), and Love (unimportant focus, associated with being vulnerable to those around us). Although the idea of Angels is generally more accepted. Maybe one affects the other? What is the greatest weapon against demons? What is it that affects our connection to love, and all love coming from God? If you believe Angels exist, then how can you ignore their opposite?
I know dcon deeper down, he is a good guy, with his share of troubles like all of us. But I am allowed to rebuke that which does not come from that goodness he was born with in the image of God. There is love underneath all the self-righteousness, but very rarely see it come out publicly. But it would be nice.
You have to expose evil, rather than tolerate it. Tolerating it just gives it power. Acting is invoking God.
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
You choose to be a part of this wolf pack on the outside Ariel82, and you don't need to do that. You use exactly the same tactic I've seen you and this group of people use over and over again, you try to take what someone says about another and turn it back on them to deflect from it's original meaning and purpose.
For example, you say 'we should pray for them'. You did not say that from an attitude of kindness and love in your heart, you used such words to mock. Now you can admit that (silently), or you can deny it and try and deflect it. I say silently because it's between you and God, not between you and me. I'm just a messenger.

Dont have time to back and read thoughts that might have hopefully grown and changed by God's grace since their posts.
Folks can change Dcon
We should pray for them.
Especially the ones who think you are demonic.
Makes me wonder about logs...
