I just realized that my post above is irrelevant. Buddah was a contemporary of the prophet Daniel.

For holyfool33, what level of evidence will you accept? For most people raised in western cultures, particularly pastor-sorts, the consequences of seeing and experiencing demonic phenomena first-hand are not pleasant. They are scary and one must change his/her worldview as a consequence. I've been through it, as has been my husband--we are both scientists, born and raised in the states. If you and others cannot define what evidence you will accept, then it is most likely that you will dismiss any accounts as "superstition". There is no point in dialog. For those in the pastorate who have parishioners struggling with unsolvable medical or emotional problems, then learning about demonic manifestations and learning how to deal with them, might enable you, in some cases, to be helpful. Let me assure you that once your attitude changes from, "It's all superstition." to "Tell me about it; let's consider if this might be demonic." both believers and unbelievers will come out of the woodwork, asking for counsel and seeking prayer.
