I've been playing free mmos lately. Rising Force Online, and Sword of the New World. RFO is pvp heavy in a sci-fi setting, and SNW is low pvp in a more fantasy setting, so I can switch back and forth depending on my mood.

Lithanus, I tried finding passages in the Bible but didn't find any. Just the part in Matthew/Mark where Jesus drives out the demons into the pigs and the one in Acts where the disciples drive them out of the girl.

Use www.biblegateway.com
Mark 9:14-30(an example of how Jesus expelled demons)
Acts 19:1-21(Towards the middle-end, there is an example of what was said when commanding a demon to leave. What happened to the Jews here was a successful expelling of a demon, the demon was just to powerful and violent to leave peacefully.)
Mathew 12:43-45(This is an example of what happens when you banish a demon from a person but do not clear up the fortresses of satan/demons after the demon is gone. A fort of satan can be anything from painful memories to bad habits. After you command the demon to leave you must ask God to rid the person of such fortresses)
The important thing to remember is that through the Holy Spirit you are given the power to excise demons. You have to command them in Jesus' name to leave and never return, then pray that no more take their place by removing the fortresses of satan(if it is a person you are expelling the demon from). I hope this helps.

I have never really had a problem with demons... One pastor I saw in Pensacola, FL (during the revival) said that I have a fierce faith and that he could feel it. Maybe I truly am a paladin... Aura and all!
Of course that may have also been because I didn't want his help...

Well, the Pensacola Revival was a big deal... a revival that lasted 6 years. The attendance was huge every night (we are talking over 100,000 from what I was told.) Supposedly on the first week Angels were seen in the sanctuary and the pastor is also a great healer with documented results. But like all things it came to an end and all the major figures have moved on to extend their message beyond the southeast.
Most revivals (in an old school setting) are literally that, a revival. Churches basically trade pastors throughout a week and each church has a new pastor each night. It is mainly to stir up stagnate communities and get everyone excited about their faith.

Got a question for you guys. This was from friends of mine. From a "scientific" POV.
They want to know WHERE God came from if He does exist, did He just pop up out of no where. There is no scripture to bounce back off of in this topic. And the answer: You must have faith that He is real... just doen'st cut it here.

The answer is we can't know, not enough evidence here to say anything, unless God tells us Himself. All scripture says is basically He exists and has always existed. What you tell your friend is, "Just because you don't/can't know where He came from doesn't disprove his existence". Then explain how you know He is real. Assuming the argument was about His existence.

Science works on theory and proof... So MY theory is that this world was created by our lord adn that he has worked many wonders in the past through his follower. Science has began to uncover the many wonders of our Lord and some believe while others fall deeper into frustration and anger in their own hollow lives.
So in other words... according to science if there is any hint of evidence supporting a theory it stands until another party gathers enough evidence to disprove that theory. As things stand i Have Egypt's sudden change form tropical paradise to barren waste, A boat way the freak up in the mountains, and a wonderfully colorful planet floating in a vacuum of cold, dark and desolate space.
