Heck froggie, that was the edited version. You're missing out on all the UFO-inspired nuttery.

What concerns me is the "I can't talk to you anymore."

Simply put, when Gibo's reality is challenged, he simply discards the information presented to him and re-boots as it were.

We see a few fringe posters on these boards who have extreme views of some kind - it's fascinating to see the hoops they will jump through in order to justify such bizarre views.

When a glitch presents itself, they just short-circuit and start back from scratch.

The info TRTL was not fact. It was theory based on what had happened to a persons relative. Whereas what I was saying re: evil spirits was truth, based on life experience...no theory, no made up rubbish...just fact.
I heard Hal Lindsey say once that the tech for the Xerox machine came from a demon. We all believed it. Demons are highly intelligent even as fallen angels, though on the wrong side. As for UFOs being built by men...did you ever get a copy of Stan Deyos THE COSMIC CONSPIRACY? A good book by a good christian author.

Gibo,
I have studied the scriptures for 50 years and researched and written many articles on views of demonology. There is no confirmation of demons in the OT having reality. Such views were forbidden in Jewish thought and theology. Jesus never identified demons in people, other persons accused them of being posessed. Even Jesus himself was accused of being posessed of Baalzebub. Is Baalzebub a reality? If you are monotheistic - then NO. Baalzebub was the Canaanite god of death who guarded the doors of sheol [the grave]. The OT teaches YHVH both gives life and removes life, blesses and curses.

The term Legion was what the man believed about himself and how others had identified his behaviour. Jesus freed him by empowering him, and at his request Jesus allowed him to drive the pigs over a cliff.

Demons make photocopiers?

That explains a lot.

I bet they did "programmable" VCRs, the crazy frog ringtone and the Microsoft Office Assistant as well.

Thats not what the Bible says Philo in any version.
It clearly speaks about evil spirits all of the way through it.
Your interpretation is substandard and unscriptural.
I suspect youre just stirring and would talk the bricks off a wall for the sake of talking them off.

Yes, the Microsoft Office Assistant is definitely a manifestation of Baalzebub.
