ExorcismFirst, we have to prove that there are "Demonic Forces."

Atheists don't believe in Gods or Demons. So I doubt if you can find any verifiable case of an Atheist being possessed by demonic forces.

It depends of course on who is making the obsevation.

AnswerIt depends on what you call a record. There have been people who claimed to have been previously atheist until they were posessed and God came into their life and ousted the demon. But I can find no records of anyone having known an atheist previously who then went through this. In other words, it's never been seen or documented by an outside observer. At best this puts demonic posession on the same footing as UFO sightings. And believe me, I consider myself a Christian. But I am a follower of what Paul said Jesus said since he was the closest to the source as you can get. And Paul never mentioned demons. Demons historically have been the names people have given to the causes behind all sorts of ailments and issues of humans before medicince came around. If someone had a disease - it was demons. If someone had Teret's syndrome, the cursing was caused by demons. If someone cracked and started off on a killing rampage, it was because of demons. Demons could and were used to explain all sorts of erroneous behavior and problems. In fact, that's why to this day people say "bless you!" when you sneeze. Because it stems fromt he belief that a demon could be within you causing you to become ill. Of course, witches make just as good of a scapegoat. As medical technology started catching on to the real causes of all these issues, demoons quit being the cause of all the problems and they had started to disappear from the psyche until the evangelistic christians started up around the early to mid 1900s. Then there was a rebirth.

If you are looking for the answer to whether or not demons are real, you need not look to atheists for the answer. There are countless other religions out there that do not believe in demons or anything similar. And of course, since they do not believe in demons, they don;t have trouble with them either. Many of these religions deal with spirits - but they handle them differently. No doubt that christians would say that any religion other than Christianity dealing with spirits is obviously the work of the devil. But that's an illinformed opinion since they never bother to learn about these other religions and don't realize that the entire religion simply doesn't fit inside the box that Christianity tries to put it into.

Don't listen to themDemons exist, regardless of those athiests, or anything that someone might say, as their existence is not limited to our beliefs and what we think, for they are spirits, and one could say that our souls are bound to our bodies, until something serious happens to them.

If you do not have Christ or the Holy Spirit within you, you can be possessed by a demon, regardless of what you think, what you believe, or what records say or don't say, regardless of where they are or even if they exist, or are credible sources of information.

AnswerRecord of an Atheists seized by Demonic forces? Scientifically speaking,

No.

Afflicted with Mental Disorder? Yes, but if I may venture a guess, much less than other segment of society.

ANSWER:

Marilyn Manson has made several.

First of all a good horse does not have to cost an arm and a leg. My horse is the most bombproof horse I've ever seen and he was free. There are many good horses that are free or very cheap. Next of all you don't have to shoe the horse unless you ride on the road or very frequently. If it is very muddy where you live don't shoe them, you will find the shoes sucked into muddy hoofprints.You only need to vaccinate them for tetnus and rabies and worm them. save up, be a good little girl and maybe they will say yes!

If your parents have refused to get you a horse (join the club, mine are the same) you have to think seriously about whether they have a good reason. Depending on what you want the horse for, a quiet horse suitable for a beginner to ride will cost around 1-2 thousand dollars. This isn't too hard to save up.

However, there are a lot of ongoing costs involved with keeping a horse. Every six weeks or so, you will have to have the farrier visit to put shoes on it, an expense of a hundred dollars or so. If it won't have access to a paddock for the majority of its time, you wil have to pay for hay. The more riding you do, the more concentrates you will have to feed it, and these are expensive. If you are a beginner, you can ruin your confidence and a good horse by trying to ride without instruction. Riding lessons aren't cheap. Your horse will need a vet checkup (costing about 300 dollars minimum) once a year, and if it gets sick the vet fees will be much higher.

If you don't have somewhere to keep the horse, your biggest expense will be board. You will have to pay to put the horse in a stable. If you can't be there every day to turn it out, bring it in, exercise it by riding or longing, feed it twice and muck out its stall, you will have to pay additional fees for the grooms to do this for you. If you intend to keep it in a paddock that you own, you will need to ensure that the fences are stable, and that the horse will have shelter and a supply of drinking water, as well as removing toxic plants.

Before you even consider buying the horse, you need to think about how you will cover all the additional expenses that come with owning a horse. If you are too young to have a part time job, like I am, it will be very difficult to keep up with these expenses unless you can get your parents to pay part of them.

If you are convinced that you can cover the expenses of having a horse, or your parents will offer to pay some of the horse's upkeep, there are many ways that a teenager or child can earn money. I'm thirteen and too young to look for a part time job. If you aren't, get one. Save up all your pocket money. If your parents give you money to buy food from the canteen at school, buy the cheapest food that they offer or bring lunch and save the money they gave you. Knock on doors in your neighbourhood and ask for odd jobs to do - there are a LOT of nice old ladies who will pay you twenty bucks to sweep the porch. Save everything you get. Put it in the bank to accumulate interest, don't don't rush into horse ownership. It isn't fair to you or the horse to buy it and then realise six months down the track, when it is sick, skinny and timid, that you can't really afford to look after it. Horses don't like being constantly sold on.

Answer:

You can pick plums every summer and sell them, wash cars, and (you can copy this too) I have a "Thing Machine" I put a ton of stuff that I want to sell in my brother's wagon and on the first day, I go everywhere in the neighborhood, knock on doors and whatever. Then I just go tour busy yet safe Seward Park Ave. and sell things there. It's really nice. Well, good luck and enjoy your horse!
