are there any christians in this forum (i know there are some in the "christians only" areas) that think that deviants (drug users, homosexuals, pornographers, etc.) have evil spirits inside them that could infect christians if you associate with them?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

This is a unique question. Ever heard the phrase "guilty by association"? I think that foundation of judging comes to mind in a lot of people. "Oh, Sally hangs around with Marge who I know to be a prostitute, Sally must be at the very least interested in being one too"...and for all they know, they could be horribly horribly wrong.
Now, could a Christian (or anyone else for that matter) be "infected" with this evil spirit through association?
Depends on if you believe in evil spirits and it depends on what you view as evil.
Evil is a very subjective term. What I find evil may not be as bad as how you see it. Do you view drug addicts as evil? Homosexuals as evil? Pornographers as evil?
If you answer yes, then do you believe that they have evil spirits in them..that what they do is beyond their own control? If the answer is yes then you have ask yourself can those evil spirits be transferred to someone else?
Can they "infect" someone, like a disease, by association? Now this is where it gets tricky. Is the person associating with these "evil" people easily influenced? Do they have a weak will? Are they followers? Do they let other people think for them? If so, then it's logical to say that yes, evil spirits could infect people that associate with the hosts of those spirits.
But again, it's all very subjective. At least to me.

Deviants . . . I haven't heard that term in a while. I suppose it was about due.

It is true, but it takes a lot of work. The zealots are real hard, spiritual fighters, and they can smell an unbeliever a mile away. They'll yell at you, scream, quote the Bible and even chase you with a stick. Not a big one, but I didn't claw my way up from hell and pocess a pot smoker just to get poked in the ribs by a fundy!
So we usually do it when they're asleep. I like to crawl down the chimney during the Christmas season, makes it festive. Get inside, and the first thing I've got to do is tie them down, otherwise they liable to wake up and start poking me when I start breathing pot smoke on them.
As they get high, the marijuana demon battles the inner Christian, and eats their soul cause he's always got the munchies. Then the demon takes control of the body, and my evil job is done.
That's how I do it at least.

That is very silly. It is not an evil spirit. It is just called sin. We all have sin. I guess then that we are all posessed by evil spirits.
