There is a both/and approach available here. Christians accept demons as much as we accept angels, God, anything spiritual etc. If one is an absolute materialist, none of that makes any sense. I am not a strict materialist. I believe reality is more complex than the descriptive capability of any current models.

And so begins one of your well-reasoned quality posts, but if you think you can just jump in here without telling us WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN (for so long), well you are mistaken!

Good to see you back.

lol I suppose it wouldn’t help if I claimed alien abduction??? jk. :)

But yeah, it’s been a while. Still working on my book (a sci fi romance). I have this ‘allowance’ of ‘me’ time, and I used to spend a ton of it here on FR. But after the 2016 primaries, getting handcuffed by JR & Co for not aligning with the group-think, and getting plum worn out from some of the endless cycles of theological debate, I just got completely burned out on FR. Even now, that hasn’t really changed. Sometimes I just have to take a break from my other stuff and snoop in here to see what’s what, and I saw this ping and decided to dip one little toe back in the water.

But as my allowance of free time is pretty small, I do have to spend it wisely. So until the book is done and published, I’ll probably just keep my lurker status for now. But definitely good chatting with all y’all. :D

Peace
