Discussing how he came out of "all this occult darkness" (or however he phrased it), he said that those who remained were angry and threw everything they had at him in the form of demonic attacks. How did these demons attack? Did they gang up on him and beat him, leaving physical proof of their existence? No -- they were more subtle: they used asthma and seizures and financial troubles. And I remembered the fundamentalist mindset: everything can be traced to a demon. Looking back over his Wiccan/Satanic life then, he reinterprets everything to be directly connected to demons. He invents them after the fact, and that might be how he believes his own delusions. Either that or he's justifying his lies by saying he's bringing people to Christ in doing so.

Either that or he’s justifying his lies by saying he’s bringing people to Christ in doing so.
