I'm sorta weird, I'm a cultural Christian, I believe in your rules, but Buddhism has it's allure as well. I'm just confused about which faith is right, they each have merits in a morally based argument.

True, yeah you have it right, it's either actual demons or imagined demons with us.
There is no comparison, Christianity is the accepted atonement of the sacrifice made by the only begotten Son of God who then comes to indwell the believer and guide him in righteousness. Only the devil would have a person confuse the two.
If we claim an illness we will get to keep it, if we recognize the truth that all sickness, disease, lack, accidents, etc. are from the adversary who ONLY comes to steal, kill and destroy, as in steal our health, peace, soundness of mind, etc., we can then be rid of it, casting it out, or anyway He chooses to bring His healing, as we keep Him in first place with our every thought, word and deed.
best wishes
You really are confused and lack understanding.
Truth has been shared with you over and over and you go right back to ignorance.
Berean Literal Bible
And Jesus said to him, "No one having laid the hand upon the plow, and looking on the things behind, is fit for the kingdom of God."
And Jesus said to him, "No one having laid the hand upon the plow, and looking on the things behind, is fit for the kingdom of God."
Symbolism, bro. Water is life sustaining; so, it's a symbol of God's life sustaining power. The bible says he appears as fire, too; among other things.
He's the God of the hills and the plains; the heavens and the earth: Everything under the sun, and the sun itself belongs to him.
It's typical that people turn to religion when they see something amiss in their life. The Holy Spirit convicts people of their sins- their wrong deeds, and works that fall short of what he intended when he created mankind. So, if you find yourself feeling separate from a divine nature and presence, knowing that it ought not be so... then there is good news. Reconciliation with God is not only possible; but it is exactly what he desires. Of course it is on his terms; but, being God, he knows what is best for us all.
Also; I wouldn't be quick to say you're a schizo. If you are encountering a presence or presences of far superior intellect and power that puts you in awe.... that's not a mental disorder. Your brain, from a scientific perspective, can not just create a delusion that intelligibly discusses, reveals, or teaches verifiable things that you did not previously know anything about.... that utterly defies all science.
Naturally, that is what you think. I suppose it's the nature of things, if you are a true believer, beliefs can change things about you.
Buddhism isn't a "faith." It doesn't deny the existence of gods or supernatural beings, it's just not concerned with them.
Just choose where you want to end up after you die, with God or without God, and that will decide for you.

So in conclusion: CHRISTIANITY IS THE ONE AND ONLY TRUTH!! FORGET ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE!
There was more than 12 witnesses of the resurrection. Alot more people seen Jesus after he was risen.
Just choose where you want to end up after you die, with God or without God, and that will decide for you.
I don't know the answer, do I truly love the one who made this place? There is much hardship in the world and that can be good but it can also be terrible, I have mixed feelings about "him" if you can call it (I mean that respectfully and gender neutral) a "him". I just don't know if that's what I want.
As I said before though, all faiths have their tools, the presence of demons forbids weakness in faith.
It was inevitable that there would be some souls who would choose selfish gain over selfless love. That's why two worlds were made, so that every soul could have mercy in a life to live.
The first world for all lives, the great judgment to be a filter, and the next world for the good. And a great atonement by faith in Christ since Gods mercy is greater than what arbitrary criteria can confine.
