"Remember, when we jeer at the Devil and tell ourselves that he does not exist, that is when he is happiest."

It is offensive to people to read the Bible in front of them? Does this mean I can complain when I see them reading The DaVinci Code.
I think this was posted before in the past, but thanks for posting this again!
I thought so too ... but it didn't come up on a title search. Sorry if it is a duplicate post but not sorry to remind new freepers of reality.
Thank you VERY MUCH for an excellent read!!!

For those who are only persuaded by empirical evidence, I urge you to watch "Proof Positive" and "Ghosthunters" on Wednesday nights on the SciFi Channel.
Both shows have investigated places that are believed to be haunted and have tried to prove or disprove the allegations. Equipment used includes meters that can measure electrical fields and temperature drops, voice recorders and infrared or night vision video cameras.
Many of the phenomena that are recorded I would say are somewhat inconclusive, but I have seen two shows that have made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. Both involved objects apparently moving by themselves, picked up by automatic video cameras.
The most dramatic was on Ghosthunters last night, where you can see a chair suddenly and dramatically move in an empty attic room. Not only can you see the chair move, but you can hear it scraping on the floor.
The teams doing these investigations seem legitimate, and so I don't believe they faked what had happened. It really gives you pause. As Shakespeare wrote: "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
I know this alone is not necessarily the same as possession, but it demonstrates to me that there other things going on in the world that are not apparent to us on a day to day basis. Like perhaps the unseen struggle between angels and demons which the Bible speaks of.
A few years back he was on EWTN with Raymond Arroyo--in studio. It was a very interesting interview.
Please pray for him.
Those types of interviews usually are. I remember about 6 or 7 yrs. ago, I was ready to go to bed and turned on the radio where a rebroadcast of the Art Bell Show was being played, he was interviewing exorcist Fr. Malachi Martin. I was up to 5 am listening and couldn't turn off the radio until the interview was over, it's too bad I didn't tape it.
