Crunchy Cat,
Consider the assertion: "Crunchy Cat just typed something on a computer".
Is there evidence to support it and evidence to contradict it?
Currently, there is neither evidence to support it, neither to contradict it. We could, however, find (" ") both kinds of evidence.
Maybe someone stole your password and wrote that post in your stead? Maybe you were drugged? &tc. &tc.
We could, with the use of the scientific method, dispute even that you were born, mind you.
There were only about 6 people at your birth, right? Well, sorry, to rely on them would be to rely on eyewitnesses, and this is not enough and questionable (as witnesses could be temporarily mentally incapacitated). The forms they filled out could be faked. We cannot prove that you were not brought down by aliens.
Point is, conspiracy theories (of all kinds) are impossible to disprove, but it is not impossible that they are true.
We are thus left with common sense, which, as we know from history (Watergate and such), tends to fool people a lot ...
We don't believe in phenomena, but in the reasons to believe in said phenomena, if those reasons seem believable.

Cottontop3000,
I just want to hear you say it.
Recognizing demons is a matter of personal competence. You can learn about them all you want (Encyclopeadia Britannica should suffice), but this won't automatically enable you to recognize them.
Fortunately or unfortunately, you just have to have a grip for it.
I'm still trying to figure you out, which I must say, is quite difficult.
Hehe. Am I a challenge to your ballance?
I doesn't matter who I am, for people change. Observe me how I am to you, and decide on that what you will think of me.
In the end, your relationship with me (whatever it is) does not depend on who I am, but on who I am to you and what you feel (whatever it is) for me.
You seem to waffle a little hear and there. Are you just playing devil's advocate?
Not at all. Those with honest discrepancies in their thinking (people who just don't know any better than what they presently do), or the truly innocent ones, are usually the first to be accused of ulterior motives.
It is as if honesty and innocence are the most dangerous things in the world.

Medicine Woman,
M*W: The greatest trick that you ever pulled was convincing sciforuoms that you are intelligent.
And you fell for it! What does this say about you?!

Crunchy Cat,
Not at all.
The worse for her is she thinks me a trickster. It only shows that she waits for me to always do the first step, and then she will decide how to treat me. This is how insecure she is.
