So, we can conclude that virtually every person who believes in demons is really an unintelligent, uneducated half-wit?

My argument in this thread is not for the existence of God, or angels and demons, or spiritual forces of any kind. You are completely missing the point here which is this: Even fully functioning, well developed, socially and mentally well adjusted people can come to believe some incredible things. It is foolish and arrogant of us to belittle one's intelligence or their mental capacity
solely on the basis of their beliefs.
Think about this:
You and a couple of other posters in this thread have already passed judgement on my mother-in-law as "mentally deficient," "delusional," "crazy," and suffering from having "only half a brain" because of what I have reported about her beliefs. You have done so without ever having spoken to her, met her, or even seen her. It's presumptuous and ignorant; I say that because you are not taking into account and as far as I can tell simply have no appreciation for the many factors and variables that produce belief.
