A non-belief in the existence of a god does > not automatically include a denial of the supernatural per se, does it? Yes. Demons and witches (not Wiccan) are agents of a god, evil ones, but gods nonetheless. Most demons are either former gods that have been demoted or minor order gods. So that includes angels too. It is the fact of supernatural (for which there is no evidence) that excludes the existence of a god. If god were natural then it could possibly exist but then it could do nothing supernatural because there would be no mechanism. -- Later, Darrell Stec darstec(a)neo.rr.com Webpage Sorcery http://webpagesorcery.com We Put the Magic in Your Webpages
