This is an open-comment theology blog where I will post various theological musings, mostly in sermon or essay form, for others to read and comment on. If what I say here interests you, you may want to check out some of my books. Feel free to criticize, to critique, to comment, but keep comments to the point and respectful. Many of these posts have been published elsewhere, but I wanted them collected and made available to a wider audience.

The Pain of Demons
If a demon is brought to apparent pain by some holy word or prayer, does it warrant our pity? I think not. I doubt demonic forces are actually conscious. The are empty of real substance, but make pretense to reality and consciousness. Their existence is a lie, as is their feigning of conscious experience. Their apparent pain is nothing more than another form of manipulation.
