As an atheist, my delicate sensitivities are always offended by the depiction of
supernatural beings of any kind. Demons, angels, poltergeists, jinn...they all
send me running for a Bud Lite. I can't even watch Crossing Over (with John
Edwards) without a hint of nausea, I'm such a materialist. So you can imagine
what the DEMO did to me.

Perhaps this is an issue on which the theists and the atheists can come together
in brotherhood.
