Angels & Demons
I watched the excorcism of emily rose today. It got me thinking so I pose these two questions to you friends of Thorp...
Do you believe in them (angels and demons)?
Why or why not?

yup, I have a strong spiritual belief in things we can't necessarily see or understand, I don't place any of my faith in the word of man or his
organized religion though. The main reason I believe is because it seems impossible to scientifically explain everything that occurs around us so
there has to be something else in play.

I believe those are names we give to forces we don't understand, so yes I do.
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

Nope. I don't belive in gods or devils, angels, afterlifes, etc. I don't believe in much of anything.

I believe in the existence of angels and "demons" though I wouldn't give the so-called "demons" more power than to act as tempters to human character
flaws. I don't see "demons" or "jinn" as they are called in Islam, as having any power to rival angels or God.

The very idea of any supernatural force or anything like that is about as childish as it gets. Hey maybe Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny are real as
well.

No, but I've read a little about Hermeticism and theurgy.

I've got way too many demons : alcoholism/addiction, anger issues, insomnia, jealousy, depression, contempt for humanity, so on and so forth.
Unfortunately, I have too few angels, but the ones I have are incredibly precious to me and are occasionally the only reasons I have to continue
breathing, so I've been known to thank gods I don't believe in for the existance of those angels.

Hermeticism is a school of philosophy from ancient Egypt started by/based on the teachings of a man named Hermes Trismegistus. Theurgy is a form of magical ritual used by Hermeticists to invoke God or unite with God. It's also sometimes called "white magic."
