Have you ever experienced an evil spirit?

Question

When you do things you said you wouldn't.
When you do things against your benefit.
When you do things contrary to your health.
When your passion leads to the suffering of others.
When you're overcome with desire you can't control.

Besides evil can affect the people within a context and that evil can attach itself to them. Many priests encounter individuals or situations where evil is at work, where people are oppressed by evil, or where a disturbed person appears, or claims to be afflicted by a power of evil or evil spirit. In responding to people experiencing spiritual crises, it is helpful to acknowledge that there are many views about the reality of evil. Evil is manifested in society in such things as racism, corruption, and deliberate abuse of vulnerable children and adults. It is also experienced by individuals who feel personally afflicted by spiritual evil which leads them to do things they didn't want to do.

Don't make excuses for shitty people. There's no magic involved. That's 100% them being shitty of their own volition with no one and nothing to blame but themselves.

That just doesn't colorate with reality. People dont just devolve the way they do because they are "shitty people" but fair enough that's your opinion.

I'm pretty sure I can prove people make conscious decisions to do unethical things a lot more easily than you can prove magic exists. Reality is what can be verified and proven. Anything else is imaginary.

Evil is a concept, but an "evil spirit" that controls you is magic. Love is also a concept, though there are measurable behaviors you can identify. When you're poor and your mother doesn't eat for a day to make sure that you can, that's a behavior you can identify as love.

When that little voice in our head tells us to commit a crime or something immoral, and it tries to reason with us how it's worth it and how there are more benefits than detriments to it, and various other arguments, that's an evil spirit willing us to err. Just like with Adam and Eve and the suggestions of that nefarious snake.

Yes and I didn't care because I am lazy as hell. I was even dragged even in my sleep twice but I was too lazy to get up and scream and run. I was like nah this is too much effort let's just go back to sleep. What's the worst that can happen?

Not all @Shezadi. The problem with the world is a rejection of the spirit and our holy Father. Even Paul mistook guidance from the holy spirit and ignored many of his warnings. Arguably Gods greatest servant. I think it is amusing that those who deny the spiritual world believe in love. An interesting dichotomy as they are the same, but cognitive dissonance is abundant and for all to see. The childish responses I have received so far confirm this. But yes laziness and the unwilling for self-improvement isn't Gods will but that of the devil.
