So, you consider our evolutionary state advanced? Interesting...
Personally, I believe we are very near the beginning of our evolution.

Personally, I believe we are very near the beginning of our evolution.
Every now and then I feel that all of this is just a game played between some greater forces....
I was referencing the sudden and sharp advancement along the evolutionary line.
"Ancient alien theory". Look it up. I just discovered this the last few years. I found what makes more sense than any religion can explain with what ancient alien theorists believe.

This is all true, Religion is a man made creation. (as far as wel can tell, who knows maybe aleins are planting that idea in our minds from space)

I disagree. Dao, Bhuddism, and many other Chinese religions do not envolve demons. I think devils are western interpretations of themselves, and not so many religions involve devils as you seem to think.

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with you. Demons are a HUGE part of Chinese religions and mythology. Taoism believes in demons that make you sick, give you bad luck, etc.. There is a demon for about every thing that you might consider "bad". Buddhism has demons also, Mara for example. Most demons in Buddhism coincide with "unhealthy" emotions. As far as Chinese religions in general, demons and "bad spirits" play an integral part in everyday life and religious practices. In China, they have a god or demon for just about everything you do.

It usually only symbols yourself. Strictly speaking, these demons, are not like western demons. They are only humans or beasts who gained enlightenment but chose to use the power of enlightenment for evil. According to Tao, anyway. Not so sure about Bhuddism. Seems to involve inner demons, a.k.a. ourselves. So, it depends on whether you'd call evil, powerful beasts and men demons, and whether you'd call yourself a demon.
