Gods, Dogs, and Demons

"The gods can talk to us in multiple ways." .............. after one imagines that gods exist. One guy even imagined that his neighbour's dog was possessed by a demon and it was talking to him. People can imagine all kinds of strange things, but that does not mean those things exist outside the imagination.

*** A dog with demons, reminiscent of the Son of Sam killer David Berkowitz from years back, took place in a context, and one with very little elaborated decent structure. He was given up for adoption by his mother, and his adoptive parents lived modest lives. More than one psychological professional has observed the relationship between schizophrenia and genuine shamanic intelligence and ability. Schizophrenics, however, never received adequate training as they normally haven´t in industrial society. Berkowitz may not even have been schizophrenic, however, since his psychotic break happened after time in the army, and his researching his birth mother. He did become a Christian in prison, and has been called a model prisoner while refusing parole inquiries. The informed discussion of God´s existence, and the nature of gods more generally, is done intelligently in the Philosophy of Religion and Comparative Religions. Asserting that gods are merely imagined, and equating the dysfunctional and pathological manifestation with the functional and traditiional is your own confusion of your opinion with academic epistemologies, to say the least.
