From Quora: If You are Young and So Interested in Demons, is that Strange?

Hello all! I just wanna share my answers to Quora questions here too! This is the first one. It's a pretty good one to start with imho.

Disclaimer: I am not an expert in Catholicism but I was born, raised and live as a Catholic. Also, I went to a Catholic school for 4 yrs. My answer/s is/are based on a combination of my opinion, what I've been taught, learned and/or experienced.

Quora Asks: Is it weird that I'm so interested in demons?

I'm only fifteen and I'm considering taking a demonology course online, is that strange?




My Answer:

Well I heard or read somewhere that even Catholic priests study such things. (Because you can never fight something you do not understand.) I don’t think it’s bad as long as you don’t make a pact with them.

They are subtle and can influence you without you even knowing about it. They attack the mind, especially those who are smart and also proud of their intelligence.

Taking the course may be over the top but hey that’s what you’re interested in. When I was a kid I asked my mom to buy a booklet (meant for teens or kids) I saw in a bookstore about ghosts and such.

I like fantasy and sci-fi stories so reading about those things are also fascinating to me. But that’s the extent of it. These days there are a lot of information online so one has to be careful at what we read or see.

We all supposedly have free will so who are we to tell you not to study what you want? The problem here is, at fifteen you are still easily influenced by various things.

You need protection if you will delve into such topics. I suggest that if you belong to any religion, consult this question with the local priest, rabbi, etc.. They are the experts on such topics.

Curiosity is one thing but getting into demonology without guidance or protection isn’t a wise thing to do. Even non-Catholics need exorcism by Catholic priests you know. It’s better to be safe than sorry.


XOXO,

Aren't we half Good-half evil? 😊 We become who we choose to be. You should check on the book called The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross by John Alegro

Yes indeed. And we choose whichever wolf to feed. 😉 As for the book I haven't seen that before.

I recommend you watch exorcist priest interviews on YouTube for additional interesting info. 😉

even the devil can quote the bible when it suits him. how to know good from evil? is a person limited in being able to recognize it at all?

I watched an interview of an exorcist priest and one of the example given was, a saint saw Jesus because he suddenly appeared. But when he looked closely, did not see any wounds on the hands or feet, etc. The saint pointed it out and that's when the demon showed it's true form.

Now of course not everyone are able to see spirits or demons, etc. The best thing to do is be knowledgable about the Catholic teachings, regularly confess sins and go to mass every Sunday in order to be able to discern well. However of course I am not an expert to answer this.

It would be best to watch the exorcist priest interview videos on YouTube. For example Fr. Chad Ripperger or Fr. Jocis Syquia (find his English talks).

darkness is possible in dogma. who to trust someone who has only seen the material world. or to someone who was in hell, astral limbo, etc

an interesting comparison. the material world is room. The astral is what is behind the door.

Well I am not an expert. Your questions are not really something I can answer well. Perhaps it's best for you to check online.
