      Hi @ellapowerxxx

      I don’t think that demons are real, but as a scientist, since you can’t prove they’re not real, I wouldn’t like to say they’re definitely not real.

      🙂

      What do you think?

      Hi ellapowerxxx

      I dont think so either – and I really hope not!

      I’d say the same as Suzi – and I’d also add that, in some cases, if someone says they have a demon, you can help them get rid of it by psychotherapy (usually talking to them and helping them find a way around the particular difficulties that they have). So, while I wouldn’t like to say this was true in every case, in at least some cases, demons are within people’s minds – so they’re real problems for those people, but you can help them get rid of them without trying exorcism or anything like that!
