Atheism- a sign of demonic?
Could ordinary, everyday agnosticism be a sign of demonic posession? It would explain a lot to me. It would explain why people who plead for tolerance for their own sins, are so incredibly intolerant of the sins of others. It would explain the spread of divorce and abortion following the invention of easy contraception. It would explain why men concerned only with business abandon family and friendship in pursuit of profit. And it would explain, once and for all- why I can't understand.

If you read the Book of Job, which might be older than any other Bible story, you can clearly see that God and Satan are fictional characters in a fictional story that tries to rationalize why bad things happen to good people.
That is all that God and Satan are. Imaginary characters in a collection of fictional stories. That's all they were when the stories were written and that's all they are now.
What if, instead of dismissing such evidence as imaginary stories, we look upon the past as people *actually* having encounters with the divine and demonic?
After all, it isn't like this isn't well documented:

In fact, it is better documented than your faith is.
Said every insane person since Napoleon.
Take this case in Gary, Indiana for example. I simply choose not to believe it. You can believe it if you want. All I can say is that, even if I can't come up with a natural explanation for it, that doesn't mean that there isn't one.
If by some unlikely event it turns out that there really is something supernatural behind it, my life will go on unaffected by it. There are no repercussions for not believing in the supernatural. Some might say that believing in the supernatural results in some sort of eternal reward and not believing results in the loss of that eternal reward. But that notion exists for the sole purpose of making people believe in something that does not exist.
One big repercussion for you not believing in the supernatural is the harm you've done to your children and spouse. Your involvement in that early abortion set the stage for demonic forces to hide from your mind Spiritual Truth- and the result is your family falling away from the Church and falling away from Christ and into extremely dangerous behavior.
Except they aren't. Your first child is dead from an abortion that you supported. One of your sons is gay, the other may never get married by your bad influence. You hurt your wife just last year with your threat of suicide.
Material wealth is not the only wealth- and sometimes the rich are the most impoverished of all.
Demonic ignorance again.
Lack of foreknowledge of an abortion of a contraception you were responsible for, created a form of liberalism in your life that has resulted in your atheism- which in turn is creating other effects in your life, some too small to see at the moment, but which ripple outward without your ability to stop them.
Demonstrable Demonic Ignorance- pun intended. Cause and effect linked together by a law so deep, that spiritual and material are tied together in ways you can't see right now- because seeing them would break you.
And the biggest lie the Devil ever told, was convincing the world that the spiritual side doesn't exist.
