Been over this before but my family experienced something several years ago. Weird noises, weird feeling. Without a doubt there is more than meets the eye.

Conservatives tell us that unless you believe in little baby Jesus he will frick you up the arse with a red hot poker for all eternity....so supernatural eternity must exist.

That's fine. I used to think it was a bunch of foolishness too.

The cool message board answer is no b/c we die and cease to exist and that's it. The real answer is, nobody has a clue.

One could argue that this is a shortcoming of science, not the supernatural. Maybe we need to broaden our definition of what constitutes evidence instead of arrogantly dismissing real evidence just because it comes in the form of flaming spirit sword anecdotes.

If you have scientific evidence, then it wouldn't be supernatural. Science cannot test matters of the supernatural, therefore it is outside the scope of science. You're comparing apples to oranges.

I've gotta reoccurring nightmare where I murder my family in their sleep. Could this be caused by some demonic force? The Mrs moved a creepy mirror into the bedroom. Think there might be something there? And how concerned should I be?

Well if you don't understand it then it was obviously supernatural. I don't know why people these days think they have to bring science and rationality into EVERYTHING

Well you are starting off by making the false assumption (until proven otherwise) that the supernatural actually exists. I think you are quite aware of the burden of proof argument.

And i'm comparing apples to invisible oranges, FWIW.

I'm pretty sure I understand it, I obviously have a deep seeded hatred towards my family. I'm just trying to figure out what role the demon plays in all this and what steps of precaution I should take.

Science can neither prove nor disprove the supernatural. The scientific process requires developing a hypothesis and testing that hypothesis - which you clearly cannot do with the supernatural. Science does not preclude the supernatural and the supernatural does not preclude science. They are two entirely separate entities.
