A '''demon''' is a supernatural immortal creature which is an enemy of [[God]] and totally evil. Demons may also be referred to as 'devils,' with a lowercase initial letter to differentiate them from the Devil, a title for [[Satan]]. Demons are often depicted as scantily clad, incredibly attractive men forcing heterosexual males to question their sexuality.

More liberal-leaning Protestants tend to either ignore or explicitly reject the existence of demons, or view scriptural passages about them as metaphorical for sin or illness. The [[Catholic Church]] still claims demons exist and actively try to corrupt humans into sinful behavior (such tempting men with their attractive, well-toned bodies to become homosexual), but has reduced the significance of this element of doctrine.

More conservative Protestants, especially those from evangelical denominations, see demons as engaging in a constant struggle for the soul of each person. Fallen angels who followed Satan in his rebellion, demons are believed to operate in secret in order to corrupt and influence individual humans in order to ensure they turn away from Christ and toward homosexuality. For some examples of this, see the works of [[Jack Chick]].
