So ... nobody's ever been deluded or told a lie about something? Fascinating theory you have there.

If there is so much "evidence," why don't you just produce it already?
Oh, you're just making shit up? I see. Makes sense.

If "millions of other people" have "seen" supernatural forces, then it's called a mass delusion. And as for speaking in tongues... it's nothing more than gibberish. Very, very silly and bloody annoying gibberish.
As for the evidence, please produce it.

1) Billions of people consider religion important and would empirically prove their beliefs if they could.
2) A large percentage of these people have internet access.
3) There aren't any videos of miraculous healings on, say, Youtube that aren't obvious fakes or too vague/indecipherable to count as proof.
4) Therefore, your claims are bullshit.

For the 500th time, being multilingual is NOT speaking in tounges!

A biology teacher at my high school witnessed a demon trying to suppress him once.
In the UK we call that 'talking bollocks'.
Any teacher claiming that would need to find new employment in very short order, which would be difficult seeing how no-one would ever trust them to be allowed anywhere near children ever again...

Man, I would have loved to see your teacher speaking in tounges to some imaginary being. What was he smoking?

Millions of people claim to have been abducted by UFOs. Millions of people claim that breaking a mirror brings 7 years of bad luck. Millions of people claim to have seen Muslim miracles. Moral of the story? Millions of people can be wrong.

a demon was trying to suppress your biology teacher once. It was you, with your ignorant beliefs.

Why the Fundies vote Republican and will still claim they found WMDs.
Real evidence isn't needed in their opinion, only their opinion matters

Maybe you haven't ever seen supernatural forces, TC, but millions of other people have. They clearly exist, because if they didn't, no person would ever describe miracles happening in their lives (and many people have), no person would claim to speak in tongues and many do and I've heard them and I've had people pray in tongues over me. It was real.
Yeah, because we all know that nobody ever makes shit up. It has to be supernatural! It just HAS TO be!
A biology teacher at my high school witnessed a demon trying to suppress him once.
Wait, aren't the demons supposed to support and encourage demonic things like biology?
These things are real. You can keep denying them all you want, but these things have evidence whether you've seen it or not.
Yyyyeah, about that evidence, we're still waiting for it so if you could go ahead and mail it in to our office that would be grrrreat. [/Lumberg]

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. I'm impervious to the actions of supernatural beings and forces, whether they be gods or demons, obviously, I ain't complaining. Probably, supernatural demons are frightened away by my skeptical aura and all the supernatural gods seem to be prone to immediate dissipation on contact with my awesome powers of super-atheism, preferring to swirl ethereally as invisible airborne mysticisms, wafting timidly in the breezes and airs of earth rather than confronting me with their actuality.
No doubt, if they could overcome their fear, the invisible things would be appearing to me as all sorts of spectacularly mutated earth creatures, including human beings, and would be exhorting me to join a club that worships them or be looking to make my wallet a little lighter to the benefit of their chief flatterers, crawlers and priests.
Like I said, I guess I'm lucky.

What an idiot.
First of all, "speaking in tongues" has been proven to be pure gibberish.
Secondly, that biology "teacher" must have been a real fucking moron, and was probably "teaching" at a fundie "school" -- no biology teacher worth his (or her) pay would ever talk about a "demonic attack" in a serious way. (Perhaps as a joke....)

@Lucilius: You should know this already, but you can't lie without having a demon in you!!!
Funny thing though: demons almost always bother only the Followers of the Lord. Because Atheists are clearly already on the side of the DEBIL, so why bother...

I'd like to perform an experiment.
Hypothesis: A person speaking in tongues is speaking a real, universal language
Give X number of people a specific paragraph to read
Have each person read the paragraph while speaking in tongues. (Obviously sequestered from the other subjects so that they can't hear/see him/her) while being recorded.
Compare each person's interpretation of the paragraph and compare for similarities, syntax etc preferably by a linguist
Conclusion: Obviously I haven't performed the experiment yet but methinks the conclusion would obviously be: They're randomly stringing sounds together.

I saw a man become convinced that a trick with a foam cup and a ping pong ball was a demonic possession.
Like, this guy was sold.
What the masses of flat out retarded people "believe" doesn't impress me.

The same things happen to people of most any religion. So I guess they're all true.
Wait, they're all pretty much contradictory, particularly as to which gods do and do not exist. So I guess they can't all be true.
However, they can all be false.
