There are valid explanations for the sorts of thoughts, experiences and behaviours that I have described without appealing to some kind of psychological disfunction. I will repeat: for the vast majority of people who have these experiences they do not suffer from any sort of brain damage or mental or social deficiency. Their behaviour is best characterized as intuitive. The fact that many of us have come to both recognize the limitations of our intuitions and are in turn no longer so dependent upon them in no way suggests a higher level of mental or social function. Furthermore, the implication that it is, is exceedingly arrogant.

lol, so you're seriously pretending talking to demons is not crazy? Textcritic, step back from Christianity for a little bit and live in the real world. If one of my friends told me they conversed with god and talked to demons I would think they were absolutely nuts. Because they would be.
