Do you have a demon?

Post by [Syl] »

Don't know? Take the test. Luckily, I'm "at low risk for demonic oppression/possession" with a score of 13.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
-George Steiner

Me too -- my score is 10. But Mr. (Rev.?) Larson offered me the opportunity to buy some helpful DVDs anyway....

Score is 10. You're messed up, Tuirya, but I suppose you have to keep up appearances. ;)

I do acknowledge, struggle with, and accept what I call my own personal dragons though.

I got a 3.

Does that mean I can perform an exorcism or something? :D

I will remember you
and what life put you thru.

If there are such beings (I hold that there are), then as Lewis points out, then the thing they would want most in our age would to be laughed at - either to be taken TOO seriously - to the point of worshiping them, or to the point of being treated as non-existent, and caricatured with red flannels, horns and pitchforks. Thus, treating them as a joke is something that I would warn is dangerous. You must be sure that you are right in order to safely treat the idea with levity, and you cannot be sure of a universal negative unless you do so on a dogmatic basis. (Then the question becomes 'what basis is that?')

The best treatment I've seen in fiction is from Lewis's "Perelandra", when Weston opens himself to possession and becomes the Un-Man.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perelandra

If true, then the very possibility of that sort of thing ought to frighten the **** out of you.

Good point. My "bible" is TCTC, and nothing prevents me from reading that. :P

I scored 0. Not that there is any chance at all of demon possession, whatever your score.

They come out when you drink because of all the funny faces you make. :P And I am not "messed up", Senor Foul... I am ethically challenged. And argumentative. And a little hungry. Oy, one of you there, dancing with my newly acquired Yard-O-Beef! Bring me that... Yes, yes, obey me... We shall go shopping and get some really awesome deals... Bwahahahahaha...

Them: "That's her evil plan? Shopping?"
Other Them: "She's lucky her toes taste good. She's really kinda dippy."
Them: "...Dude, this toe-thing you've got going on has to stop."
Other Them: "But-! But-! No, why?"
Them: "It's creepy. What kind of demon sucks on toes?"
Other Them: "An open-minded one?"
Them: "Dude, no. Just... no."
Other Them: "Aww..."
Them: "Do like I do. Tilt everything exactly fourteen degrees north of east. It'll piss her off - she's really OCD."
Me: (shocked) "You jerks! Fine, I'm not sharing my Yard-O-Beef with you."
A moment passes...
All: *muffled snickering*

Ok. Maybe I am messed up. :roll: Don't they sell Catholic priest licenses for like ten dollars online?
