You hit the nail on the head Stern. People tend to downplay the role and very existence of demons, the devil etc. Deceit is their tool of choice as common to them as a toothbrush is to us, parents who allow their child to entertain such thoughts are complicit in the fruits reaped even if its unintended. I see these TV shows like the ones dealing with pschic youth and ghost hunting the same way, a satanic tool to allow or call demons into peoples lives. I see where some of these shows solicit catholic priests, or at least a catholic priest, when they, the theologically untrained hosts of the show, decide the "ghost" may be demonic, one show featured a couple in a mobile home who created a " seance circle " with salt to call a demon through a ouija board and the host, some young guy from a college in Pa. determined through questions that a demon came into their lives when one of the members broke the circle by running away when he became scared. I wonder how many idiots seen this on national television and tried it at home thinking they would get to see a cool demon and be safe whithin the circle, despite the warning " do not try this at home " they appended to the show. These TV shows and their apparent popularity seem to me to be just another tool of satan to place evil into the hearts and minds of the masses as much popular Tv and media is these days. They do not refer to him as the great deceiver for nothing. I wonder why it is so hard for people to recognize there is a devil, even many christians think the devil is a ruse perpetuated to scare us to follow Christ. This seems to be as if they are just discounting much of the bible while maintaining they are christian.

Ed, some wise points. Have you read "The Screwtape Letters," by C.S. Lewis? Every Christian should read it. A remarkable work on how Satan and his monkeys operate. Lewis said it dragged him down to think so much on such depressing issues, writing from the viewpoint of a demon. But that book has doubtless dragged thousands of people away from hell.
