There are demons in your computer.

This is why I love my religion. It’s logical. It has a mix of psychology. Derren Brown’s twitter brought this to my attention: http://www.religioustolerance.org/chr_exor7.htm
I don’t suppose this is much of a Buddhist post, but I just had to write my thoughts on it.
“
Any PC built after 1985 has the storage capacity to house an evil spirit.”
- How much space do you need to store an evil spirit? Say, 80gb? You could probably store two demons in my laptop. I wondered where all my disk space was going.
“Housewives who had never expressed an impure thought were entering Internet chat rooms and found themselves spewing foul, debasing language they would never use normally…One woman wept as she confessed to me, ‘I feel when I’m on the computer as if someone else or something else just takes over.’”
Well everyone changes on the internet. It’s anonymous and people can truly be themselves, or not be themselves, as they wish. On the internet, there are no ramifications and people do act differently. Perhaps there’s also an element of crowd mentality – if everyone’s acting like that in a chatroom, maybe it’s understandable that this woman would act that way, too. There must be some kind of scientific reference I could throw in here – I do talk a lot of theory and I should start backing up what I’m saying.
Okay, well I had a quick look and I can’t find anything at the moment. I have to go out in a sec so I’ll come back to it. I just wanted to talk about that page for a sec… I just felt like I had to… like something was possessing me and forcing me to write…
Oh yeah, I know why that is. Human nature.
