Is there a gay demon or a demon for every sin?

[Episaw]

I suspect that if/when a demon is assigned to an individual, that demon studies that person and his history and applies temptations according to that person's own fallacies and weaknesses.

You could be right about that. After all, who would assign a demon to a homosexual and temp him with heterosexual sex. Not logical.

They seem to have become veritable morons.

Who?

 

[Episaw]

That happens a lot on CF. People do not want to do the work themselves, but for others to hand them the answer.

Especially when they throw out a statement without any evidence and very generalised and they expect everyone to say "Gosh, he knows a lot" when in fact it is more than likely a red herring to cover up the fact he has no answer to his critic and really doesn't know what he is talking about.

I am a very gay sort of person.

I applaud your courage to use that word in the traditional sense.

BTW, in view of your reluctance to check out CE/BCE for yourself may I suggest you look into Common Era - Wikipedia
for yourself. I was surprised that it has a very much longer history than I had supposed.

AT my age my brain is absolutely chuck full with the result that when I learn something new (as I just did) something old gets pushed out. I can still remember by wife's name so I am safe for the moment.

I don't use Wikipedia if I want facts as anyone can alter anything if they want to. I have done that where a pack of lies have been claimed to be fact.

And what does "I can still remember by wife's name" mean?

Most of the time I remember using my memory.

Not only are you reluctant to read but when you do you seem to miss a lot. Read the whole paragraph not just the last sentence.

Who?

Former holy angels who became demons.

Now answer the question.

 

[Episaw]

Thanks for that. I am not very good at understanding abstracts being autistic.

 

[JackRT]

Now answer the question.

In the first portion of the paragraph I was setting up the joke:

At my age my brain is absolutely chuck full with the result that when I learn something new (as I just did) something old gets pushed out.

The final sentence is the punch line where I try to poke some fun at myself:

I can still remember by wife's name so I am safe for the moment.

As an attempt at humour it obviously failed for you. I regret that because I was trying to mollify the hostile attitude you have taken toward me. I will not bother you further.

You must have read C. S. Lewis' work The Screwtape Letters. If you haven't, you should. It is simultaneous instructive, funny, embarrassing and sobering.

Yes, I have.

Not only are you reluctant to answer, you seem to miss a lot of what other people want to know.
