I really hate knowing that there are functioning, seemingly normal people - with positions of authority and responsibility - who really do think they see demons and that these things are waging physical battles between "good and evil" everywhere for the souls of ordinary people.

Proclaiming the absolute truth is not forcing it onto people.

If YOU (OP++ HUMANS) do not have 'sides' to your personality, moods and an ID & EGO you are a VULCAN!!
The ILUMINATI (or whatever) want the same things as The Religious: IMMORTALITY, CONTROL of PEOPLE (ie. POWER over PEOPLE) and TO BE RESPECTED -

The reason for this, obviously, is reasonable doubt. The possibility remains that she could have been speaking in a non-literal manner, which would completely destroy these ideas.

NO, truth truth. None of this "your truth; my truth" crap. Relativism is absolute nonsense. For instance if my belief system says, "This is the only truth. There is no other way" then you cannot say that that's just my truth. No, it's an absolute. You cannot say both of our truths are true if my truth says that your truth is false. Common sense.
Trying to persuade someone is not taking away their free will. If that was the case then none of you should be on here trying to "persuade" us that we are wrong.
