I find it scary that some people can look at others that they identify as being different to themselves, and dehumanise them. It's then a very small step to take to feel free to treat them any way imaginable. There is evil in the world, but it is entirely human, and would not stand out in a crowd.
well said, it's dangerous to start thinking like this about people. i'm sure we have all seen people that are evil mofos sometimes, but then turn around and give some bum 20 bucks. man can be both very evil and very good in the same person sometimes. we have all heard this story. but yeah, it's no good calling a human a demon, my mate i was talking about told me he saw an actual demon. not human, it was red apparently.
it does seem to be true that if you begin to think and study this stuff all the time, your chances of seeing what you are studying go up 10 fold. at least that seems to be the case, both with alien contact and demonic rituals. personally i stay away from looking to deep down that rabbit hole. i feel the advise to stay away from that stuff in religious texts is probably very good advise.
