You all voted "Yes". I invite you all to explain how you know this. Is it impossible for a human to do as much evil as Hitler has done, without demonic "help"? How much evil is enough to proclaim with certainty that someone is demon possessed?

Can I change my vote to "no"?
Just kidding. Among the things which make be believe that Hitler was demon posses is the total disregard for human life and his belief that it needed to be eradicated. He viewed other humans as less than human, no more than a litter of animals with no value to them. The total disregard for the lives of other men, women and children, his systematic actions of eradication with apparently no conscience, is a major reason I view him as demon possessed.
(cue OT references of destruction of neighboring tribes by Israelites!!)

Thanks. Do you think that's possible? How might a supernatural even be verified? Do you know of any cases that have been verified?
Probably once a supernatural phenomenon is independently verified, said phenom then falls under heading "natural explanation" which by definition is no longer supernatural. So in that sense, the naturalist will never accept anything until it becomes naturally explained, verifiable. The polar opposite to that is the believer who cannot accept the (otherwise convincing to the modern world) verifiable, natural explanation if it's perceived to contradict his or her faith. For example, the bible writer supposed that epilepsy is caused by demons, so Jesus to the rescue to chase out the demon. Today, it's verifiable that epilepsy is a neurological malfunction, and treatable by neurological means. Of course the believer will claim special cases of demonicly invoked epilepsy so as to maintain their beliefs. Or, will claim that epileptic *behavior* is what the bible writer really meant, not to be conflated with modern medical terms. Whatever it takes.
