How is it people deny God but not demons

[tigger398]

I don't understand how is it that people believe in demons and ghost, but yet don't believe in God.

Great question, it does seem like it!  Maybe people really believe in God, but they just say they don’t because they don’t want to surrender to Him?

Because ghosts and demons don't hold you accountable for your sins.  It's same reason that so many people have an unhealthy obsession with angels.  

People are trying to avoid God at all costs.  Ever since  Adam tried to run and hide from God, mankind has been doing his best to hide from God, to avoid God.

People turn to ghosts and demons and angels to receive help and guidance and other things for which they should be seeking from God.

I don't know any people like that. But then I don't get out much.

Like Shiloh357 said, it is because they don't hold you accountable for your sins nor have the power of eternal life or death in their being.

Many people tend to look at things like one looks at mythology. Let's take for example... Centaurs.

Centaurs arise out of greek mythology. They aren't quite as popular as ghosts, demons, angels, or what have you, but you do have folks that like centaurs. A rather round woman walks out onto a stage, wearing Nordic armor and singing opera; she is a Valkyrie, something from Nordic mythology. People put angels, demons, and ghosts within this same frame. 

In reality, they are in the same frame.

Ever since Lucifer rebelled against God, persuading one third of the angels in heaven to join him in his mutiny, there has been supernatural conflict here on earth.

The reason that all the ancient religions of the world share similarities is because they all originated from fallen angel worship. The Romans had different gods for different things (each god is a different fallen angel). The Greeks were the same. Jupiter (or sometimes Apollo) is the chief of the gods. The chief god is always Lucifer in disguise as he is the leader of the fallen angels. The Greek equivalent to Jupiter is Zeus. There is also a god of war, and a god (or goddess) of love, and a god of the harvest and so on.... Even the Norse people worshipped the same fallen angels. Their chief god is Odin (or Woden). Thor, like the Roman god Mars is the god of war. Norse culture is geographically far removed from Rome and Greece. It is unlikely that the early Norse had even heard of Rome, so there is no way that their culture could have borrowed any ideas from Rome. Their religion grew independently, yet it shares similarities with Greco-Roman religion because its the same fallen angels behind it, albeit under different guises using different names. the fact that geographically there is no connection is emphasised more when you study the religion of the Aztecs, a civilisation separated by the Atlantic ocean from their Greek and Roman counterparts and probably completely unaware of their existence. The Aztecs had their pantheon of gods too, the chief of whom was Quetzlcoatl (Lucifer in disguise again). It's also interesting that Quetzlocoatl was represented by a serpent (the original liar in the garden of Eden).

None of these myths are really myths but have some basis in truth, because at one time all these gods really existed, but of course they were nothing but deceivers, false gods pretending to be gods and fooling people into worshipping them, but they were nothing more than fallen angels in reality.

Although today, most of these religions have since died out, not all of them have. The Ancient religion of Hinduism has survived the passage of time, and the gods known as Krishna, Vishnu, Shiva and so on are the same angels as before in yet another one of their many aliases. Satan is a great deceiver and that is why there are so many different religions in the world that all appear to be different but if you scratch the surface they are all the same.

When the Roman religion disappeared, it didn't die out completely. It was incorporated into Roman Catholicism. The RCC is a blend of Paganism and Christianity, a false Christianity. Satan hides himself by continuing the great pantheon of gods under the guise of a Christian church. The Roman gods never disappeared they were merely incorporated into the fold, using scripture to hide themselves.

Instead of a god of war, a god of the harvest, a god of this, and a god of that; we now have the false saints of Catholicism... , a patron saint of this, and a patron saint of that, all of whom Catholics pray to daily. And what's worse they even pluck characters straight out of the Bible, and turn them into false gods, hence the cult of Mariolatry. Mary worship is just a modern version of the Babylonian goddess worship cunningly disguised as Christian doctrine.

When it comes to ghosts and things , it's all part of the same thing. Ghosts are probably manifestations of demons, pretending to be the spirits of dead people, but in reality they are not. Demons are the disembodied souls of the Nephilim who were destroyed during the Great Flood. They are universal on this earth and every culture has its own depictions of them. What is a ghost to a westerner is a banshee to somebody else, or a brownie, or maybe elves, pixies or leprechauns. They are all the same - thoroughly evil.

That's why the Lord tells us to stay away from such things and not become involved with the myths and superstitions of mankind, because although some of these entities may seem harmless, perhaps even benign, they are anything but. They are nothing but liars, deceivers and masters of disguises; appearing as different things to different people according to their culture or beliefs.

As for centaurs and other such mythological beasts, they were probably real at one time too. The book of Genesis tells us how animals had become corrupted as well as men. Maybe the fallen angels didn't just come to Earth and take human women as wives, maybe they corrupted animal flesh too. A centaur is half-man half-horse. Maybe at one time such atrocities really existed and myths grew out of the memory of such things.

That is a great answer. It is exactly this. 

God's existence is directly linked to absolute morality. People are willing to believe anything as long as it is not God. They are also willing to accept God if He is some kind of impersonal powerful force but as soon as God is awakened to a sense of right and wrong, as soon as God is presented as a person preoccupied with right and wrong, then most people get bothered. 

This is because they don't want to repent.

Jesus said this is the judgment: 

John 3:19 - And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

Darkness flees from light. God is light.

May God bless you!

Their mother[human] may be worshiping him,  satan / the devil, as written in Scripture.

Note that Satan is a malevolent (evil, wicked, always sinning) figure  who seeks to seduce humans into falsehood and sin. In Christianity, he is seen as a fallen angel who used to possess great piety and beauty, but rebelled against God.

God allows Satan temporary power over the fallen world /society ...
