In religion and mythology, occultism and folklore, a demon (or daemon, daimon; from Greek δαίμων daimôn) is a supernatural being that is generally described as a malevolent spirit; however, the original neutral connotation of the Greek word daimon does not carry the negative one that was later projected onto it, as Christianity spread. In Ancient Near Eastern religions as well as in the derived Abrahamic traditions, including ancient and medieval Christian demonology, a demon is considered an "unclean spirit" which may cause demonic possession, to be addressed with an act of exorcism. In Western occultism and Renaissance magic, which grew out of an amalgamation of pagan Greco-Roman, Jewish and Christian tradition, a demon is considered a spiritual entity that may be conjured and controlled. Many of the demons in literature were once fallen angels, however there are many that say that they are born-forged from Hell itself. From Wikipedia under the

Meaning: If someone already belives in the supernatural, like demons, why would they say someone else is crazy just for believing in vampires and call them stupid and say that vampires are mythological creatures created by uneducated superstitious people. Isn't that how demons were "created"? Asked by xxDaemonGirlxx - Wed Mar 18 19:17:14 2009 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments A. Spirits and demons are a lot different than vampires. For one thing, don't you think if vampires are real, scientists would've realized it long ago, because they're basically people that have to drink other peoples' blood, and someone surely would've caught on by now. Spirits and demons, on the other hand, can hide themselves and leave this world, and people have experiences with them all the time. I'm not neccessarily saying that there's no way that vampires can't exist. I think if they do, they're a lot different than Twilight, though. They could be a type of spirit, or something like the vampires described on vampirewebsite.net, which is basically just a person that has a virus that requires them to drink blood, and they aren't… [cont.] Answered by NorthEastFire - Wed Mar 18 21:43:15 2009 Where can I find the ebook version of The Last Apprentice: clash of the demons? Q. I want this ebook for free also. Clash of the Demons is the sixth book of the The Last Apprentice series. Thank you. Asked by ??? - Sun Feb 7 18:17:55 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. The problem is that the author wants to be paid for his work. You can read an excerpt free on Amazon but Joseph Delaney wants to be paid for the book. He writes books for living. Anyone that copies the book and puts it online is stealing. The person responsible can earn jail time and fines of $150,000. Answered by redunicorn - Sun Feb 7 22:49:29 2010 What are a few similarities between angels and demons?
Q. I'm writing a diamante poem (childish yet effective), and I need a few ideas that compare angels and demons. I have come up with that they both have wings and both are religious symbols, but I could use a few more. Any ideas? Asked by senorrobinhood4 - Mon Nov 26 22:20:28 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. Demons were angels before they refused to obey God. This created a war in Heaven, and Michael cast them out to the earth,which is thier domain.
