does the devil have demons
she said everyone has demons
you can see them in their eyes
as she stared into mine
can you see my demons
you dont have any thats why im afraid
what are you afraid of
im afraid theyll find you
why would they find me
because they are looking for me
not anymore

“Demons are like obedient dogs; they come when they are called.” Rémy de Gourmont
Demons - they are more believable than the devil. I mean, How can an angel rebell against God? They would have to be stupid. The closer you are to God, the LESS likely you are to be stupid. For the intelligence of God is absorbed by being in His Presence, OK? Can the planet Mercury suddenly just drift away from the sun ? Not with all that gravitational pull !!! Well, with the "pull" of God acting upon the angels, how can they rebell?
Case closed. No, I doubt the reality of a personal Devil.
But demons are another can of worms entirely. The original meaning - before the revisionist version given in the Bible - was HUMAN spirits after death. As opposed to angels. I can see demons as merely human ghosts."Unclean spirits" the New Testament calls them.(Luke 11.24-26).
Which should mean that they are not saved. They are damned? If so why are they not locked up in the prison called Hell. If the saved are in heaven and the damned are in hell, then why are there ghosts wondering the Earth ?? A third category, obviously. Maybee, they are saved enuff to be acceptable in heaven but feel like holding onto the past, this world. Sort of like a traveler in a bus station who has a ticket. But, instead of going forward to his destination, tarries at the bus station for a few days.
