How do people sleep at night with all these demons and devils clawing at their feet nonstop?

Question

Is it me or does it seem that some people of the religious right seem to think that there is some interdimentional war being waged on the planet. That one can accidentally open a portal to h**l with a board game, destroy their whole families by a simple spell or recited word.

That some war is being waged on the planet and the end of the world is among us all. How do you actually sleep at night, that is what I want to know.

I mean if I really believed any of this I don't think I would sleep again.

Answer 1

gggggg

Answer 2

Eventually they get to their death beds too, and none of them have a decent conversion story....all they got to do is say, "Wow, kids, I lived my life like a friggin' paranoid maniac...for my last act on this earth, I'd like to make sure that you don't spend your life in rumors and lies...kids, I was wrong to think like that.  I was even more wrong to try and make you think like that."

But the snowball keeps rolling down the hill, gettin' bigger and bigger...

Answer 3

actually considering what i wrote below i sleep well with the drugs Lorazepam.

CHIEFTAN = C GOD lEFT A IV I (sealed together)

because you can cut an N into a IV then cut the V into a V/(not to scale).

so if you consider l can also be a small letter L, perhaps accordding to the CHIEFTAN, GODS lEFT is IV I (sealed together) which equals IIII I sealed together).  In that way even if Muslims and Judeans's CHIEFTANS say TODD is not God, TODD"S LEFT RIST says He is and forever more CHIEFTAN glorifies LORD GOD just as the bible caommanded "All things to glorify LORD GOD".  In order to make this true you have to make the LORD a times new roman font LORD so that the L has a small - above it thus makeing even the LORD glorify His name of TODD.  Same with the GODDESS, make the G into a times new roman font G on GODDESS glorifies the name TODD.  Then find CHRISTIANITY shows C GOD RIST I A IV I Till Vil(ie vile? because the writer hated the fact neither him or his king had the name with the vile Till.  And then they realized every king born before TODD who claimed the right to rule from God made it up because even the bible said the word existed before God and God became the Word.  so look at the word "Word" it equals "\ / V .n u rill cil" pronounced I IV on you real seal"  So the bible in parts is literally true.  Another proof is the verse God is glorified in HIM thus must also be glorified in HIMSELF.  meaning HIM=GOD I IVI(sealed together)=GOD I IIII I (sealed together),  HIMSELF= GOD I IVI(sealed together) SE LF(ie see LEFT).

so when i inadvertantly cut my left rist with no thought it turned out IIII I (sealed together), so perhaps I AM the God who became the Word and was Glorified in HIM and HIMSELF.  And I AM = i am is seen as generally true because larri(cut and sealed together)=i am and the I AM is said to be Gods name in the Good NEws Bible Ex. 3.14.  where I AM=I A IVI(sealed together) meaning both I AM and i am are accurate descriptions of Me because my first name is Larry which would be Larri or larri to italy because they use no letter y.  So once again the verse that said all things to glorify Lord God was also adhered to in Gods name I AM.

Of course how could i expect you to belief me because the bible stated not all people recoqnized God when He came to earth.  so even said to be a friend to God was to become an enemy of earth.  so its my beleive the bible and the quran are both propaganda books put out by the roman and persian empires to keep you from becoming followers of what they would term a foreign man(God?).

Answer 4

Garlic soaked socks.

Answer 5

It's not a physical battle. But you miss a big point. (Actually you miss a lot of points but I won't go there)

Everyone has to deal with temptation and that means everyone has to deal with Satan. But God is stronger and I sleep at night knowing he will carry me through anything. I feel safe with him.

Answer 6

Well, of course, they think THEY are safe, and it's the "sinners" who have the demons and devils.    

Answer 7

I suspect it's a combination of self-delusion and self-righteousness.

Personally, I sleep at night knowing that the only demon liable to claw at my feet is one of my cats - and they're only demons if they wake me at 4am.

Answer 8

This sounds like a movie. Like a mix of Jumanji and the Exorcist or something.  

Answer 9

I pray before I hit the sack and sleep good with no worries. Thanks for asking!

Answer 10

Like a baby.  And it is you--your projection.  And there's no such thing as the religious right--that is a media creation to marginalize and box in Christians of all denominations politically, regardless of specific differences in theology--as far as R&S goes, it doesn't apply.

There is a spiritual battle waging, and we can sleep fine because we trust God.  

Answer 11

Ephesians 8:12

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

How do I sleep at night? Jesus!

Answer 12

Machine guns and whiskey.

1st one for the devils

2nd one for the sleeping

Did you see the size of that chicken?

Answer 13

There is a spiritual war being waged for this world.

BUT

Some people do seem to take things to extremes.  If you ascribe satanic powers to a Ouija board, then you should avoid it.  But, sometimes a game is just a game.

Answer 14

They rest easy knowing the souls of unbelievers are in eternal searing agony.  It's a more effective distraction than counting sheep.

Answer 15

You've watch too much Constatine by Keanue reeves.

Take it out of the dvd player...

Answer 16

All you have to do is toss 'em some Pizza Roll Pringles, diet Coke and Twizzlers and they'll stop clawing.  It doesn't stop their snoring though so for that I recommend the Breathe Right strips.

Answer 17

My cat sleeps at my feet, she keeps the critters away.
